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.

Job Duties of a Camp Host

First, saturate yourself with the beauty.  This is the entrance view for Redman Campground.

Keep a clean host site.  It's so tempting to pile up your "tools

of the trade" under and around your RV or trailer.  Don't do it!

Learn all you can about your inventory--know which sites would match a given camper's specific needs.  This site is a double (for groups of up to 16 people) with an extensive trail system behind it....leading to magical forest, stream and meadow adventures.  You also need to know it has great parking for a large RV or trailer.

  

Taking photos of Camp Sites

Site 25 - All-time favorite, by the Creek



You also will probably paint tables, clean out fire pits, remove ashes and garbage from stoves and/or grills and pick up all trash (anything not "natural")...oh, and of course clean the Potties.

A fun job is taking photos for Recreation.com and ReserveAmerica.com so they can post them online to inform campers of what they are reserving.  The best duty, though is to meet and greet campers.  They are so very enjoyable!  In the above picture I'm sharing some of my favorite necklaces with our wonderful campers.  We're grateful for every visitor!  Please stop by our host site and chat.    :]

Finally, no matter how trashed someone leaves their camp site....don't forget to smell the roses. 

(These are at our entrance gate....totally natural, of course.)
