CHANGE is constant in my life! My stint at Campground at Natural Bridge drew to an end on Monday. Jack pulled the trailer to my new assignment Tuesday morning and I'll be starting as a one of 6 camp hosts at Willow Lake this coming Friday!



So instead of the rush and roar of the Rogue River in the coniferous forrest I will be beside the still waters of a bueatiful high mountain lake looking at Mt. McLoughlin! That is when I get to sit and look!

At the interview I was told, " You pay money to loose weight with Jenny Craig but with us you'll loose weight and we'll pay you!"

HEY! Turn's out there are several Natural Bridges right here in Oregon!

Here are some links on where I'll be.... maybe some of you would like to join me for a day or so this summer!

A YouTube video of the natural bridge and trail - see the river coming out of the cave and where it disappears underground!

Well that should give you some idea of where I am and what I'm doing until October!

Union Creek, and Becky's Cafe, are only 3 miles away!

See ya!

HERE'S THE LATEST - I have a been called to go to work at my second most dream job (the first being paid to write)! Tomorrow I start at the National Park Service Natural Bridge Campground as a paid Camp Host! They will be paying me to be in one of our most bueatiful campgrounds along the upper Rogue River in the Rogue Umpqua Recreation Area! I can hardly believe it. I started wanting to be a camp host about 18 years ago but didn't have the trailer....

So I will be pretty much out of reach...unless you come visit me at the campground except for my two days off.

The campground is very basic....firepits and pit toliets.....but the sites are large and almost all of them have river frontage! I will be writing after I make my twice a day rounds and taking in the local hikes - so I can be good camp host and be able to answer questions about the trails. Union Creek is only 4 miles away so Betsy's Cafe will be getting to know me! I'll be broadcasting from there when I do!

So I'm off to pack up the trailer!!! Cheers!
