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.

Our first REAL job as Campground Managers





The call came June 4, 2011, while we were camping at Deer Creek Resevoir near Heber, Utah. We were to report to Spruces Campground immediately to help remove snow and get the park ready for visitors. They gave us this fun John Deere Gator to navigate the snow banks. And Bob jumped on the Kaboda (front-end loader/back hoe) to see if he could budge the frozen remains of our record snowfall. You can see our rig behind Bob, in the pine trees and aspens. We sold would from this site up until 10 pm... or later. One night a camper woke us up to report she couldn't blow up her air matress. As Bob always says, "We're here to help." I got out my b once the snow was cleared from the roads...and had a great time checking our assigned sites on the nice paved roads. We became expert in cleaning bathrooms, firepits, and in blowing roads and pads clear of even pine needles. The moose and deer appeared as the snow melted. It was paradise.
