Hi everyone from Wimberley, TX where we used to live and stopped for a few days to do some errands, visit my son and then head on to Bradenton, FL for a week, then to NC, TN, IN and ???? 

We were supposed to finally begin this workamper life in Chester, CA this year. Second time we were offered the same position (I asked the second time if we could try again) and got terribly ill the first time and this time life got in the way with a huge delay that made us have to back out. We did do a 2 month stint as ranch caretakers and after that, we feel more than ready to begin workamping. Long hours, no days off and we are tired. But re-energizing during this trip and putting out applications, posting on Workamper, KOA, you name it. Something WILL come along. We've had some shady offers, offers for us to work 40 hours each for one little site and offers to work in areas nobody wants to work in, but we are holding out for something at least halfway interesting.

We have dreamed of doing this for years. The first try was about 5 years ago. We went back to our normal life (Ha) for the next several years, made sure my health was okay (I have controlled lupus) and are raring to live our own dream. Hope to garner a lot of great knowledge from this site. Have already chuckled at Howards writing of their adventures. What a great story teller.

Hope to get to know a lot of you here.

Currently no home but the one on wheels, and loving it!

Welcome from just up the road in Austin!  Hope the road going forward is smooth and full of fun. 

You've found a great group to hang out with!

Welcome to the greatest RV forum on the web (personal opinion)! I can't possibly imagine being ranch caretakers for two months, well at my age and condition anyway. I might have loved that in my younger days. I imagine you are really tired and ready to move on. Wishing you luck in finding your next gig, and I hope you enjoy the adventure.

Thank you all for your welcomes. Appreciated! Nice to meet other Millers and hope you can get started soon with on-the-road! Hi Ckerr from up the road. I hear the weather has finally broken and cooled down there. That's why we left in the first place! Too hot! Jagco: I chuckled when I read your post. We DID get WAY too tired. Rick worked 10-12 hour days, 7 days per week and did everything from feed animals to tractor work of all kinds, build barn doors, repair fencing, wrangle alpacas for breeding (those females can fight off going to the male pens, lol) and everything the ranch owner lady wanted him to do. I told her he'd burn out but it took 5 weeks before he turned to me and asked me to tell the boss we needed time off. We'd tried before to get a day, but she thought Rick was Wonder Man and didn't listen. We are 58 and 60 and it was too much for us for sure. I only fed alpacas, did help with the breeding, and pulled weeds, did a bit of guest house cleaning and watered the lawn and flowers, but I got pooped out too. Workamping should be a blast next to that! Anyway, thanks for all of the "hellos"!
