They got that from the WSJ story. And focuses on NV. We were also on the NBC nightly news - and that had my rig in the story
As usual, the NBC story doesn't understand workamping - but was better than last year. I enjoyed reading the WSJ story a tad more.

So are you a rich and free woman now? Well, okay, change that to richer than your were 3 months ago? Where are you headed after you and Peaches get rested?
Will see you in March maybe before.

Oh, Nancy - all the money here was spent (or is being spent) before I leave - hahaha - what with the new tires and brakes, etc. But they are paid for
I'm here 3 more shifts and will head to AL for New Years and then to TX - will be at my g/f's near Port Aransas until the gtg in March. So if you are in the area - can definitely gtg sooner.

Linda, I never found your friend. If she was working day shift, that would be why. I could find just about anyone on nights. And if she was at the cg you thought, I asked a couple people staying there and they didn't know a Cathy. But again, they were on night shift. I knew most of the people at least by sight at the state park. No, we didn't have to relocate even to different sites at the park - just finished posting some pictures of that on my blog - so far behind I am.
They are still finishing up with workampers now - and probably won't respond to people about next year until later this month. Make sure you give them Cathy's name as a referral if she'll be going back. Let her get a referral bonus on you.
Don't expect new locations to use workampers. Only 3 of their 40+ locations now use them. You never know, but they are committed to keeping jobs in the community whenever possible. The 3 locations that use workampers are where the community can't give them enough help during the season. And you'll be working in a great community - Campbellsville really likes having us now that they realize we bring in money for them. As for me - don't know if I'll work for them again or not, but if I do this year, it'll be in Nevada. Don't intend to come back east for a couple years - or longer, who knows.

I was going to work at the one in NV this past season, but decided I didn't want to be in the cold and snow. I think it was a good call, as I think it was pretty cold and a lot of snow this year. Too bad you won't be returning to KY. Hope I get to meet you somewhere out there. I will definitely give Jenifer Cathy's name for a referral bonus. She will appreciate that. Glad you never got flooded out!

We had a mild year - lots of rain - in KY this season. Last year? Different story - snow, and very, very cold. Wouldn't have stayed the extra days, as I would have been stuck somehwere north of where I wanted to be for even extra time
Gotta love mother nature.
