Jan 17, 2012 RV Life and Travel Quote of the DayThe world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page. ~ St. Augustine Jan 15, 2012 RVers Workers On Wheels Newsletter #703Everyone can ask for pie in the sky. You know, where campgrounds ask you to work full time (32 - 40 hours a week) just for a campsite. Or, where RVers expect a free site and utilities for doing nothing other than being a busy body. What's being asked for, and what's actually taking place, aren't always the same thing. For a general guideline, one RVer working one day a week is usually a reasonable trade of work for RV site and limited utilities.

There’s something for everyone at a national park, even in the middle of winter. Choices include snow shoe hikes, canoe trips, campfire programs, film festivals, battle reenactments, and music jams. It is also a great time of year to view wildlife such as bison in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming or grey whales at Point Reyes National Seashore in California.
