Full Time RV Friends

Christa


                               Mike




Mike and Christa are from Wichita, KS. We met at Johnson Creek RV Resort and when we decided to leave, they came with us to Triple T Resort. They offered their support and friendship when we were deciding what to do about resigning at Johnson Creek. They are great friends and we have enjoyed them immensely. Christa is a retired Postmaster and Mike owns an Excavating Company. We have done a lot together and "Happy Hour" is at our place or theirs almost every evening. They are also primarily responsible for our Sophie Rose, from San Antonio. Mike and Christa have accepted a workamper position for this summer in Buena Vista, CO. We are planning to stay in touch and hopefully meet again next fall.

Beth




                        Lee







Beth and Lee are also friends we met at JCRV. They wanted to move and came out here to check it out. They liked what they saw and moved here right after we did. They have a dog named "Obie" who is Sophie's best friend and playmate. Beth recently took Sharon a ride in her convertible on one of our warm January days. Lee is retired from the U.S. Army and Beth from the USDA. They have accepted a workamper position at a Bed & Breakfast in Keystone, S.D. near Mount Rushmore for summer 2012. Yesterday, they went to Corpus Christi to check out the facilities for RV's at a military base there. They also plan on returning to TX next fall.

Jim & Joanne

Jim & Joanne are from upstate New York and have been full time RVer's for five years. They have had several workamper jobs and their first one was in Alaska. Joanne is a workamper at Johnson Creek RV Resort. We were next door neighbors there.
Jim is battling liver cancer. He is a tough guy and never complains. Joanne is a breast cancer survivor. We have stayed in touch and they come here for visits. They are very loving people and we wish them the best.

Of course, we have met lots of other RVers. Just last night a couple from San Angelo, TX stopped overnite on there way home from McAllen. They stopped to visit and went back to their coach and returned with a dozen grapefruit. Pat, a full timer at this park, had a triple bypass in San Antonio, Tuesday of this week. He will return to his RV to recuperate.  Lee watched his dog while his wife and daughter went to the hospital for his surgery.

Christa was gone for a week to Fl, to visit her 90 year old mother. Beth and Sharon fixed meals for Mike while she was gone. It seems that is how it works. You meet people, make friends, and help each other with whatever the crisis or inconvenience might be. Of course, we are relatively new at this but we are enjoying it and the people we are meeting from every part of the country. RVers are mostly very good people. BEWARE though, most do carry. Don't plan on taking advantage of them.

Thanks to all of these guys for being such great people and sharing their stories and the lifestyle with us. They have made it a fun first season as "Winter Texans". We look forward to doing this for a while and meeting a lot more great people.
