Last summer was spent hanging out in Phillipston MA, which was great because it was close to the summer cottage of Jett’s brother and his wife. The time spent at the cottage was wonderful. But the rest of the time was rather boring.
The summer of 2017 was spent touring New England and then taking an early exit to head west. The summer of 2016 was spent on Lake Champlain in Vermont.
Do you see a pattern? No? The only pattern is that we try to do something different each summer.
Since it has been 3 years since our last workamping gig (Lake Champlain) we thought we were due for another. So we will be workampers for 4 months in Conway NH. That is still 2 hours from Boston, but much closer to Boston than Lake Champlain. We should be able to see family occasionally without needing to overnight in Boston.
Our home for the summer will be the Eastern Slope Camping Area. That is a pretty generic name for a private campground but it looks very nice. The things that attracted us were (1) the area (Conway is nestled in the White Mountains) (2) the work (it includes a kayak/canoe excursion business, so I could be spending some time on the Saco River and (3) the owners seem to be very nice.
We start work just before Memorial Day. So I need to figure out how to get there by then. We will be squeezed a bit on the time because we need to stay in Florida longer than we would like to get some work done on the shed. Details of the 5th Trip North (TN5) will be forthcoming shortly.
