We decided to head back to Wisconsin early since weather reports in March were almost balmy. Of course, as soon as we arrived on March 31, the weather turned cold, wet and nasty. We brought below freezing temperatures and oodles of rain. But no snow. April actually was colder than March was here in the Madison area. We unpacked our electric heaters--the ones we so neatly packed away for next season. And we became reacquainted with our winter coats. I think we have seen the sun almost three days in a row sometime this last month. Gray and wet has been the norm. Thankfully, severe weather did not tag along with us.
Here at the KOA we are in training as work campers. We were recruited last fall by the owners and decided to give it a try. We each toil for 12 hours a week. It's hard to get back to a schedule. But so far so good. Donna has been up to her eyebrows with registration/reservations/walk-ins and store sales. She is learning the campground computer program and has come a long way. I started out spraying dandelions ("pretty flowers") and weed whacking. I didn't break too many things (there's a story or two which will forever remain hidden from public view). We both graduated to learning to clean bathrooms/showers. We passed. Recently I have been learning the ins and outs of filling propane tanks/cylinders, escorting vehicles to their sites and delivering fire wood. We haven't been asked to leave the premises yet, so we must be doing OK. Or, maybe they're short of help?? Time will tell.
Oh, by the way, it's still raining and the thermometer says 56.
