We worked our final work shifts here at Fort Welikit Family Campground were rather uneventful. John cleaned fire pits and stood up picnic tables on the loops that are being shut down first, pumped propane, and other odd jobs. The campground has only 19 paying customers most of whom will be leaving tomorrow or on Tuesday so not much going on there. I did collect fees from someone who came in last night after the office closed and collected fees for propane sold - not a particularly busy day as you can tell, which allowed me to get the blog caught up!
It is exciting knowing that we will be back out on the road seeing new sights but in no way do these feelings detract from the wonderful summer we have had working at Fort Welikit. We met so many nice people (co-workkampers and guests), the weather was perfect for us (mostly), and the campground owners (Paul and Sandy) were super to work for. Our first workkamper experience was wonderful. So much so that when Paul offered us the same work schedules and site, how could we refuse, so we will be returning to the beautiful Black Hills and Fort Welikit next May for another fun-filled camping season. I know we said we wouldn't return to the same place twice . . . what can I say, we love the area and the jobs were great. So for those of you who wanted to visit the area while we were here and didn't, you will get a second chance next year.
