Happy Labor Day Workampers

September 1, 2021May 23, 2022 Jolene MacFadden

Happy Labor Day Weekend Workampers! We hope you are keeping yourself safe but having a good time wherever you may be working at this time of year. We have created a little short video and uploaded it to our YouTube Channel. I don’t know about you but I am still trying to figure out all these new rules and ways of doing things to get more subscribers, more views, and more comments. This is supposed to go into the YouTube Shorts Section. We will see how that pans out. And we just noticed that we are up to 67 subscribers to this channel!!!

Got a New Cover and some Additional Pages added to the kid’s activity workbook

Workamping in Lake City Florida

August 4, 2021August 22, 2026 Jolene MacFadden

One of our all-time favorite places we workamped over the years was a small county park located in Lake City, Florida. It is located inside the city limits so the cellphone reception was very good and the park includes a business internet connection through Xfinity. The basic cable wasn’t all that great but it was nice to have just the same. They provide a very nice, level campsite that can accommodate almost any sized recreational vehicle/travel trailer. Yes, you must have a self-contained camper and you will need to go to one of the local laundromats to wash/dry your clothes.

Kids Camping Activity Booklet Series

July 20, 2021May 23, 2022 Jolene MacFadden

Hello, and Happy Summer Everyone! We have finally created our first Kids Camping Activity Booklet in the Florida Public Land Area Series. We will include puzzles, search-a-words, cryptograms, coloring pages, geocache maps, activity worksheets, as well as spaces to paste or draw pictures and write about your experience at the park. Teaching our kids about all the great Florida Public Land Areas is such a great way to get them outside, enjoying nature, appreciating our delicate environment, and, hopefully, teaching their kids in the future. Ensuring that we have these beautiful spaces in the future will go a long way in helping us protect mother earth.

Summer Reading for Campers

June 18, 2021May 23, 2022 Jolene MacFadden

Summer is a great time to catch up on your reading. We have come across another camper reading list for those who enjoy reading about RVers solving mysteries. I know I certainly do. One of my new favorite hobbies is watching TikTok videos of my fellow writers and artisans. I have created a few myself and might do some more before the end of the month. I do not think I will become a “Creator” but you never know. Anyway, getting back to the reading list. One of those TikTokers posted a quick video of book covers from mystery authors writing camping stories.

We Have Opened An Online Store

May 20, 2021September 14, 2025 Jolene MacFadden

Yes! We have opened an online store strictly filled with Print-On-Demand products. These are geared towards our fellow RVers that they will, hopefully, find funny, insightful, and possibly relevant for their traveling needs. We will start out slow with simple drawings, pictures from our adventures, and insightful sayings. We hope you will find something that you would really like to buy. We only get a small percentage from these products but, you know, every little bit helps these days. The printing company will take care of the merchandise, printing, packaging, and sending everything out to our customers. We create the designs and choose the colors, sizes, and pictures that we use.

Revisit Our Florida Workamping Book

April 19, 2021 Jolene MacFadden

We want to revisit our Florida Workamping book this post. The “Insiders Guide to Campground Hosting in Florida Parks“, is still a valid resource for anyone who wants to volunteer in our beautiful Florida public land areas. My mom and I really enjoyed our times at every one of our assignments. They all had their good and bad parts but all in all we enjoyed ourselves, got some stuff done for the rangers, and even learned a thing or two while we were there. We are not big hikers, kayakers or even environmentalist but we do enjoy the history and the quiet at most of the places were worked. We cannot stress how important it is to each of these public land areas that they have dependable, reliable, and hard-working volunteers. You DO NOT have to be handy with tools or equipment but a willingness to learn goes a long way with most of them.
