2017.10.16-Campbellsville, KY (Working at Amazon)

Where to start?  It is a physically demanding job in that we are on our feet the entire shift, walking all over the building.  We do get two 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch.  We have already had mandatory overtime and have just completed a 5 day week.  Our shifts are 10 hours and we start at 6am and get off at 4:30pm, Friday through Monday.  We WERE hoping to use those 3 days off to explore, but we are just too tired to go anywhere - yet.  Maybe in a few weeks, when we have adjusted to our work schedule, we will go exploring.

I don't think I would really call this a 'playful city'

There is not much else to say.  We are looking forward to our 2 days off, then another 50 hour week.  At this point, the week after that one is scheduled to be only 40 hours, but, only time will tell.

Our campground is known as The Stables.  Those are indeed stables in front of our coach and are used every weekend by trail riders.

Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.....  :)

2017.10.2-Campbellsville KY

Linda was gone all last week to her high school reunion in San Antonio leaving Lady Di and me to our own devices in northern Indiana.  Below are a few highlights.

Nappanee is the home of Newmar the maker of our RV.  We were there for service; they start early, like before sun-up.

Sunrise not sunset as usual, we're in corn and Amish country.

There are a number of life size bronze statues around town.

Just up the road in Elkhart IN is the National RV/Motorhome Hall of Fame.  I had to go.

1917 Motor home... with slides!

Yep, even Mae West had one!

I also visited the National Train museum for the New York Central.  This steam engine actually was on display on the Texas State Fair grounds in Dallas for many years.  Now it's back "home".

Interesting place.  Over 120 trains A DAY still pass through Elkhart In!

Only a few miles down the road is South Bend.  Home of the beautiful Notre Dame campus, and ... 

The Studebaker Museum!  I didn't know they were built in South Bend.

Who doesn't enjoy a good hood ornament!

That brings us to today and the dawn of a new adventure here in Campbellsville KY with Amazon.  Our orientation starts in just a few short hours.  Gosh other campers around us here are already talking overtime; oh my!

We'll post more when we're awake, rested and have something relevant to add.  Oh yes, Linda got back from San Antonio just fine.  She really enjoyed all her high school friends.  The rig had a a full week's worth of work done and we're ready to take it out for more travels, but probably not before the end of December.  And Lady Di, well she's always fine and enjoying life on the road.
