I haven't written on here in a bit, because there wasn't anything in Fort Stockton to write about. This is, of course, until last thursday night. The owner of the Rv park, decided to pull a "Dr. Jekyl/ Mr. Hyde" act on us, and then again the next morning at his "meeting of the minds", so we left. Even though we had everything in writing, he still went nuts when we asked him when we could expect to work the amount of hours he promised us, (me in particular). I have to say though, his wife was a delight, and she was very upset when we left. But, you simply can not pay us enough, to treat us like that.
Two days later, and we secured jobs in Port Aransas, Tx, working at an Rv Beach Resort. Yay. :)
So here we are. We got to Corpus Christi, Tx last night, and drove on in to the resort today. We are in the middle of Mustang Island. So far we are very happy here. Of course we don't start working until Thursday, with a few hours of training on Monday and Tuesday.
I think the one thing that we have learned, like my friend Tara said, private Rv parks can cause maniacal owners. We won't completely rule out private parks in the future, but will certainly only go to those who have actual reviews from other workampers.
I hope everyone is well................... will have pics soon.

Our new home...........
We finally made it. On the way to Ft. Stockton, about 10 miles south of El Paso, a semi had a blow out, which just destroyed the fiberglass on that side of his rig. Unfortunately, hubby was behind him, and ran over some of it. Some how, it cracked the starter cellanoid, so when we stopped 20 miles later to check on everything, it wouldn't start. GOOD SAM ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE to the rescue! They are awesome! They sent out two tow trucks, one for the truck, and one for the 5th wheel. They towed us to a camp ground in El Paso, (38 miles that we had already covered, but who's complaining?), and then came back the next morning and towed the truck to the repair shop.
So, what was supposed to be a 7 hour trip, ended up being two days, but that's ok. We are finally here................
This is our new home for a while..........
I am going to put up a fence in the middle of the yard, measured it yesterday and need 85ft, so that the puppies can hang out without being leashed, and of course to keep Emma from running into the cactus. I think we are going to like it here. We have met many of the current workampers, and they are all very nice, and say lots of wonderful things about working here. So Yay!!!! We don't need no stinking South Dakota!
