We've been enjoying our month here in the Canyon. As Camp Hosts we clean one each Men & Womens restroom (Not as bad as it sounds) ... clean 4 cabins - these cabins are the size of one small room with a microwave, small frig, a table with two chairs, and bunk beds that can sleep two on top and two on bottom. The cabins have no linen and no running water. guests must bring all their own and use the restroom at the campground.
We are on site in the Mesquite Campground, which is 5 miles from the park entrance, and surrounded by canyon walls. Our camp loop has 19 sites and we are on hand to assist campers with information or directions the best we can. When we need help, we use a provided radio to contact park maintenance, or headquarters as needed. We have no phone service unless we drive the 5 miles to the top canyon rim entrance.
We spend a total of about 30 man-hours per week, that's 15 hours each, which gives us plenty of time to do whatever else we want to do.
It's about 18 miles to the nearest town, Canyon, TX, or anything else for that matter; and about 25 miles to Amarillo, TX. We've been going out 2 or 3 times per week checking out the area and getting any needed supplies, like ice cream for example.
We'll be leaving here on June 1st and will travel about 50 miles south to Caprock Canyon State Park for a couple nights, then West back to New Mexico where we'll spend the month of June looking around Northern NM and Southwest Colorado. We'll be winding our way slowly North to Rifle Gap State Park, near Rifle, Colorado where we'll be campground hosts during July and August before heading East to Indiana after Labor Day.
