So, we’ve decided to merge some things together. As we’ve merged our life together more it made sense to us to merge these Blog posts with our GnomadicLife Facebook and Twitter accounts (we’ll be starting an Instagram account this week as well). If you haven’t followed us on those sites the links will all be updated on this site this week. We have spent this week planning for future adventures and making reservations like crazy people.
We have been park hosting for 2 months now and have entered our final month of our stay here in Choke Canyon State Park. We have learned a lot about ourselves, park hosting and about what we want a bit more out of future park hosting options. We do know we’d like to do more work like this starting in 2023 but have some travel plans we’d like to accomplish first. It’s been a very different park hosting gig than I believe some our – we’re in a part of a State Park that is for Day Use only. After 10 pm the only other people in the park is the State Park Police officer and his family (their house is in this part of the park). The only interaction we have is with the boaters and people coming in to fish so we are quite often isolated and secluded from the rest of the world (and we’ve loved it). We have enjoyed camping in so many State Parks it feels good to be able to be in a position to give back a little to making it enjoyable for others as well. Michael has done a wonderful job of helping the park out here and works hard at making this a great place for people to access the boat ramp and fish cleaning areas. I work remotely full-time still so while I don’t contribute to the actual park I feel as his partner and in supporting him (I’ve been known to make some pretty decent breakfast burritos for him to have for his early morning work sessions) that I’ve been a part of helping too.
In our next post we’ll be sharing some of our future plans – we have camping reservations booked through a few days after Labor Day – and will recap more about some of the things we’ve learned here in this adventure. In the meantime we’ll be updating this site and our Social Media accounts so that everything is linked together. Safe Travels!
