Oasis in the Desert

Taking a road trip!

We will leave on Saturday to do our work for Camping World in the Dallas/Fort Worth area (actually Denton and Fort Worth).  For those not familiar with Camping World, they have 89 stores nationwide and offer almost every RV product known to man, including RV sales and service.  What is nice about Camping World, one can work as Good Will Ambassadors on a seasonal basis in almost any state from Maine to California.  We normally would stay with our RV for the duration of our work, but the stone temporarily intervened on our usual pattern. 

What we do.  We are currently calling on 44 campgrounds in the Denton/Fort Worth market area promoting the stores, distributing catalogs and brochures, attending RV rallies, RV shows, and camping related events.  We do not actually work in the stores.

Yes, it is nasty hot there too.  It was 113 here today.  Normally, there is humidity in the Dallas area, but not this year.  We are staying in a very nice, kind of pricey resort (RV expenses are paid).  Our site is next to the club house, pool and sauna.  There are many ways to look for RV Park discounts these days.  There are lots of half price parks through Camp USA or Passport America.  These programs work for one or several days stays.  Since we stay by the month, we always receive the lowest daily price.

We take Boo, the cat, with us on the drive from home to the RV, so we can't get out and leave him in the car.  It is just too hot.  There was a call today over the speakers at Walmart.  Someone had left their pet in their car.  That's as bad as leaving a child.  Once we are in our air conditioned RV, he is one happy camper.

He also likes to go to the RV.  Just rides like a little man in his cage and I give him snacks if he says he want some...meow.

More to Come.....C, H, and Boo too
