Camp Hosts

When Jeni and I first hatched the idea of becoming full time RVers 7 years ago, we had visions of beautiful scenery, leisurely traveling the U.S., and living the care free life. We talked about volunteering at State Parks to augment some of our RV costs. But for us, the absolute best thing about our RV lifestyle, has been the great people we have camp hosted with. They come from all walks of life,but we all have one common bond, enjoying life on our own terms in our RVs.
We have been up in Oregon this summer (as you know) camp hosting at Cape Blanco and our current place Deschutes.
Jeni and I had made a date with Jerry and Deb, who we camp hosted with at Folsom Lake this past winter,to meet this summer in Portland Ore. for dinner as they would be hosting at a light house on the coast and we would be at Deschuites. last Wednesday we met for dinner at "Gustov's a German pub and grill. We really enjoyed seeing them and the evening ended all too quickly.
We had a nice surprise this week when Stan and Diane and Tim and Shirley, whom we camp hosted with at Agua Caliente park a couple of winters back were both in the area and they stopped in to the park for a visit. We all had a great time. Good food, great friends, cold beer,and Jeni's favorite, playing cards!(no "hand and foot thank god!) Again, it seemed like the time flew by and we were saying our good bye's. We hated to see this week end as we just didn't get enough time to spend with our friends,but one thing we know for sure, we will see them again down the road.
After a real busy weekend here at the park,Jeni and I enjoyed the quiet as the campers loaded up and left.As we set on our porch in our site listening to the river, the birds,and the trees swaying in the breeze, we thought how lucky we are living life on our terms. Enjoying the scenery,being in Oregon,living the care free life,and seeing our friends again....our Fellow Camp Hosts. You are the best!
