Thursday, after not hearing anything from the gate guard company. I asked Rudee if she wanted to take a little ride and drop in on them. I wanted to get an update on any possible work and had put out some feelers with some of the other companies down here and didn't want to leave them hanging. We made the hour and half drive and found the office/storage yard where our supervisor has his office. We found him inside and got caught up with everything that has happened since we saw him last spring. He is a really nice guy and we like working for him, plus he is a native Hoosier too!
While we were talking he asked if we were ready for a gate? Well heck ya! Turns out one of the guards is taking a break so we are going to take over their gate on Saturday. Hooray, we are back to work and making some $$. I was starting to get a little worried there, it's been a long 2 weeks of waiting.
We packed up our motorhome this morning and moved to the company yard where they have some room for us to boondock and then tomorrow morning we will move to the gate. We are going to be near Big Wells, Texas and I'm not sure if we will be able to pull in an internet signal or not so my posts may become a little sporadic. Hopefully we can get a signal at the site once we get our booster set up so I can keep in contact with everyone.
Tomorrow will be our first day of work and moving day to the gate, well see how all that goes. I'll keep you posted.
Glad that a gate came open. I know you were getting concerned. Stay in touch
ReplyDeleteWell darn! I was going to suggest you guys come to Lake Mead for a visit. We moved into our site today. We have this campground loop all to ourselves. In fact the trailer and car each have their own site. Weather is nice, scenery is beautiful and it is very quiet!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new gate!
The squeaky wheel gets the grease. What would have happened if you didn't go up to talk to him?
ReplyDeleteLooking to current stories of gate guarding. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWe passed a number of sites near Karnes City on our way from Austin to Mission (we took the scenic route through Seguin to avoid IH35 through San Antonio.) Glad you are finally back to work. Hope you have good internet and cell signals.
