I wanna be a Camp Host!!!
March 5th, 2019
I’ve wanted to do be a DNR Camp Host since we got our pop-up, and this year, I signed up, and just got invite to a Potluck for potential Camp Hosts! At many state parks, there’s sufficient phone access to have internet access and work from campsite — how cool is that. And some are right in the neighborhood of work, so I can meet with clients in my “office” and be close to hearings. Spend a month in a campground, do nominal work, some meet & greet, whatever, I’m ready! And Alan could bring the van with a boat on top, or a trailer, and get out in the water.
Except for Big Bog State Park, what a hell-hole that was, SO hot, and bugs by the millions, plus a campground filled with big RVs and trailers, just awful. Excellent bathrooms and solar at the park couldn’t make up for the heat and bugs.
The only cool thing about it was back behind the trailer, there were docks for boats, one for each of the campsites along the river into Red Lake. But the bugs were so bad, and there was one hell of a storm, we were there for the “Not-so-Great Northern Transmission Line” USDA-RUS hearings in July… Big Bog? NEVER AGAIN!
I digress… anyway, I hope to be able to be a Camp Host this year. We shall see!!
