Most days are much the same lately. I get up with Junior, we hang out and have breakfast, then head out to work or go on a little walk around the park. Around 11am we come back to the camper for elevensies, a little indoor play, then it’s nap time. After his nap, it’s lunchtime,Continue reading “#16: Reflections on a Rock”

#13: Snow Day
Last night as we were getting into bed I did the mandatory weather app check. “There’s a 30% chance of snow at 7am.” I said excitedly. “Ah, that won’t amount to anything.” Chris said dismissively. Though I knew he was probably right, the optimist in me wanted to believe it so I gave ChrisContinue reading “#13: Snow Day”
#11: It’s a Hard Life
I’ve been working here at Vogel for 2 weeks now and have worked as a camp host for 2 months. I had anxiety about any form of work after being a stay at home Mom for a year and a half now. I had the return-to-work jitters that took a minute to wear off, butContinue reading “#11: It’s a Hard Life”
#10: Things that Go ‘Bump’ in the Mountains
We’ve been at Vogel State Park for 13 days now. Upon our arrival I was immediately aware that the vibe here was totally different than that of Tugaloo but I found it difficult to define. Having spent a few days here exploring and working, I think I have finally put my finger on it: VogelContinue reading “#10: Things that Go ‘Bump’ in the Mountains”
#9: Lazy Days
Monday was another beautiful day here at Vogel. Though the evenings are getting pretty chilly, we are still having some warm a sunny days, yesterday included. We went for a wander around the park in the morning with Devon. Junior has discovered the fun of walking Devon. He happily takes the leash and follows DevonContinue reading “#9: Lazy Days”
#8: Motherhiker
Living in such close quarters as we are certainly forces you outdoors a lot more than when living conventionally. I’m sure there will be times where I will dislike this aspect of our life but this week has not been one of them. My schedule at Vogel has me working 4 days on and 4Continue reading “#8: Motherhiker”
#3: The Life of a Host
One of the things that drew us to this lifestyle was the possibility of having no conventional form of living costs such as rent/mortgage and utilities. It sounds too good to be true but I assure you that it’s not. Let me explain. At state parks they employ rangers and maintenance workers to be onContinue reading “#3: The Life of a Host”
#2: The Start of Something
Our first campsite was at the very back of a loop at Tugaloo State Park – campsite 22. We were the furthest possible site from the popular lake-front sites which afforded us a little privacy that the other sites lacked. This meant we could let the dog roam a little more and be less fearfulContinue reading “#2: The Start of Something”
