What's the FARTHEST anyone has traveled to visit Redman?















Captain White arrived August 18, 2011, from Afghanistan.  He was on leave before taking command of a few hundred of America's Best.  So what did we do to celebrate our reunion?  We let him (and his wife) make us dinner at our host site.  He sure did bring a lot of treats for someone who doesn't eat sweets.

We love you Captain White.  Oh, and thanks for leaving the war to take me on a hike...and then the grandkids on a nature romp along the river.  We love you!....the most!
We will be praying for you, Captain White.  It has to be tough knowing your life is in danger every minute of the day.

Vehicle Type for Camp Hosting









When you apply to be a camp host you are asked what you will be living in and what you will be driving. We had a 1986 Mini Winnebago when we were first hired last year....and a 1996 Ford Aerostar van. Your employer doesn't seem concerned with what you live in, if it's comfortable for you...but be careful about the vehicle you drive. You may be expected to use it on the job. So it's a good idea to ask before you sign on: "Will I be expected to use my own vehicle to do the work required of me as a host?" Some campgrounds are very tough on vehicles...and some jobs require you to drive between areas that might be spread out over quite a few miles. Gas prices must be considered. So again you need to ask questions: "Will a vehicle or cart be provided?" "If I have to use my own vehicle, will I be reimbursed for mileage?"

We loved our Wini...but it didn't have a hot shower...and most campgrounds hiring hosts did not have showers....so we sold our $6500 RV to a cute girl who turned it into a hippie pad and took it to live on the California coast.
