Title: One last update...
Post by: GoneCamping on May 18, 2025, 09:12 PM
Shortly after I got to Maine, I received a phone call from a campground in Sturbridge Mass on Saturday with a Job offer. Since I didn't get any kind of an offer in Maine that was worth pursuing, I accepted the offer, and told them I'd be checking in on the following Saturday. Made arrangements with TT Moody Beach where I was staying to shorted my visit by 10 days. I also canceled a couple of following reservations, leaving many others covering the summer & fall until I got to the new job and make sure I was happy with it.

So I got to Pine Lake RV Resort yesterday, and I started work at 8am this morning. Basically, the same thing I was doing at the other campgrounds, so I'm sure I'll fit in nicely. Feet hurt a little after not working since last October, but nothing I can't live with. I actually stayed at this place about 20 years ago when I came up from Virginia with my youngest brother for a Funeral, it was a Yogi Bear campground then. The people that bought the park completely rebuilt the place 2 years ago, it's basically a brand spanking new campground!

Fantastic site too, I had some choices, and when they showed me site 819 my eye's popped open. There is a big hill in the middle of the campground, and I had asked to be on top of that hill somewhere because I get a better cell signal up there. This site was up at the peak of the hill, with no neighbor's on either side of me, only one park model across from me (and it's housing another maintenance person), I even have a separate parking space for the truck. From my window I get a commanding view of the lower sections of the park, and from the end of my driveway on the other side I can look down to the pool area.

The park manager is already impressed by the fact I know how to check the chemicals in the pool, how to vacuum it essentially have pretty good knowledge of Pool upkeep. The main reason he hired me was because of all the campground maintenance experience I've accumulated over the past few years.

So this is home to me, the dog and my old camper & truck until October 31st.

I'm on the highest point in the park!! I specifically asked to be up on the hill because my T-Mobile service in Sturbridge really is piss poor. I rode around the park before I gave them my resume holding my phone and watching how many bars I had. Most of the park it barely had 1 bar, but up on that hill I had 3 bars! And I kind of rely on my T-Mobile 5G Home internet. I do get free park WIFI, but really don't like park WIFI, especially when the park is full!!
