We left Chama on the morning of October 5 th and drove to Aztec, New Mexico where we had a nice visit with Nancy’s Uncle Lonnie and Aunt Roylene. We then headed back to our home in Apache Junction, Arizona.
We are one of three couples working here at Rio Chama RV Park and a fourth couple is expected any day. Customers started coming on opening day and we have been kept busy. Unfortunately, the fourth couple did not come and one of the couples suddenly left on May 21 st so we are even busier trying to cover their work shifts. We helped cook and serve a breakfast on Memorial Day and hamburgers and hot dogs on July 4 th and Labor Day. We continued working all summer with only two couples which kept us all busy. A lady who stays in the park all summer helped in the office and a couple of friends of the owners helped with the outside duties. The hot dry weather kept the grass from growing much so the mowing was minimal which helped. The hot dry weather also kept us on a fire ban most of the summer. There was a major fire about 100 miles north of us and another about 100 miles northeast but we were fortunate to not have any fires near and not much smoke from these two fires.
