Jan 15, RVers Workers On Wheels Newsletter #703

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 05:44:48 GMT

Everyone 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.

Jan 10, Use Your National Parks to Help Keep Your New Year's Resolutions

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:16:37 GMT

Your nearest national park can also help you keep that New Year’s resolution, whether it is to get more exercise, spend quality time with family and friends, try a new sport, learn some history, expand your horizons, or enjoy the natural world. 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. A list of activities can be found at www.nps.gov.

Dec 20, Give Watkins to Your RVing Friends

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:49:35 GMT

RVers need practical things that they can use and that won't just sit around taking up space. I recommend consumables, such as food or skin care products. Gourmet natural extracts are excellent for flavoring coffee, as well as for baking. The liniments are excellent -- 100% guaranteed -- for pain relief, if you know anyone who has aches and pains. Gift certificates are also a good choice. You can order online. Watkins will ship your gift directly to the recipient at the address you specify.
