A long winter

We've always had a dream to be able to do "workamping" after I retired. Well, 7 years after I retired we accepted a workamping position in West Yellowstone, Montana, at a campground called Lonesomehurst. It is located on the Hebgen Lake, approximatley 8 miles west and 4 miles north of West Yellowstone. We sold our truck camper and purchased a used 2001 Coachman 5th wheel camper from a lady in Goshen, Indiana. After a very long winter and days of asking each other, "is this the right thing to do", we started making plans to leave Sharpsville and head to Montana. I never realized the amount of decisions one has to make stepping into this kind of an adventure. It's now the middle of March and things are coming together, we're packing up the camper, making all kinds of decisions on how, when , what , where, to do the necessary things in getting ready to leave. I'm sure the next 3-4 weeks are going to fly by and we'll probably still be looking at each other and asking" is this the right thing to do", but you know what, its like I have told all four of the boys, " you have to see it in your mind, then step out and make it happen", well now comes the stepping out part. continued next month
