Arrived at Farragut State Park and ready to start our new journey…being a “Camp Host”. We thought we were going to host this new campground that they are opening, but just before arriving we found out that it wasn’t ready for campers yet. “OK, what do you have for us now???” we asked. Well they gave us 3 options to consider but, there was one that they really wanted us to take. The camp host for “Snow Berry” Campground was just about ready to leave and they would really appreciate it if we would take that one over for the next month plus. After agreeing, they showed us to a temporary spot to park the coach for the next 4 days. Later that afternoon Louise and I went to Snow Berry to meet the Camp Host’s, C.W. and Gina. They have been there since the first of June and told us of the great time that they’ve had hosting. Louise and I had a long visit with them and promised that we would be back early in the morning. Walking through the campground, we picked the minds of Gena and C.W. on what we might expect during our stay. I must say, this looks like we are going to have a great time, a little physical work, but a good time. One of the duties that have made this campground special, is that every campsite that a camper leaves from, goes into a “clean sweep”…CW and Gina have been raking the campsites leaving them with a fresh look each time a camper leaves and makes it look like a special thought was given for that new camper coming in. We will also be cleaning out the fire pits, selling wood for the bonfires, and just “being there” for the campers.
