Adventures & Stories Of Workampers Living the Dream
What makes Strataca unique? Strataca, dubbed one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas, is an underground salt museum that takes visitors 650 feet below the Earth’s surface. A 90-second ride down a dark shaft leads to a lithic abyss that showcases everything utilized and discovered during mining, along with a few extra surprises. There are fifteen mines of this kind […]
Austin, Texas has been on our list of places to visit for a long time. A liberal mecca in a conservative state, Austin is known for its food, music and for being “weird”. We’re weird musicians who love to eat so it’s obvious why we wanted to check it out. Read more about A QUICK TASTE OF AUSTIN, TX …
We have been workamping in Northern Michigan since mid-May and have been living three miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. All season, working in the office at Indigo Bluffs RV Resort, I have told guests about the Dune Climb and encouraged them to try it. We have driven past the Dune Climb; we have biked past […]
I am not sure if it was who I grew up with or where I grew up but the barter system was alive and well during my formative years making a huge impact on me! I learn from my father if you could make a deal without using actual cash it was not only a ton more fun but you usual got a lot more out of the deal.
It’s been six wonderful weeks in Sedona and only four more to go. We love it here: THE VIEW! THE VIEW! THE VIEW! Did I mention the VIEW?! Read more about Sedona Red Rock Park On-Site Hosts …

Unfortunately we have been having persistent battery issues, so while we were there Ross installed a new battery for us. (That hasn’t fixed the problems, unfortunately, but that’s for another blog.) When we weren’t working or problem-solving, we found plenty of fun things to do in Tucson. Read more about Tucson Nights and Delights …

Every corner of this campground is a photo op. How did we learn about the position at Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping? Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping regularly runs employment ads through Workamper News, […]
Wow. We’ve been busy. If you’ve tried to reach us or come to visit us you know this isn’t a boring gig. At all.
Friends and family have come and spent a few nights with us, with everyone commenting how busy we are. We are! Campers on top of campers, people at the door all hours of the day and night. Snakes in tents, loud drunk campers in their 60s who must be reminded of quiet hours; trees falling almost on top of tents; trees falling on camper vans (no one was hurt, thank goodness) and oh, so much more.
