(That’s Baltimorese for quarantine, Hon!!)

A quick update on how we are dealing with the Coronavirus. We are still in San Benito, Texas and will probably be here for a little while yet. The county has issued a ‘shelter in place’ order so we are spending a lot of time in our rig reading, studying, watching movies. When we feel the need to get out, this is a nice, big resort to walk around in.

Our workamping jobs here were scheduled to end April 1. Candi’s job ended early since the season here came to an abrupt halt when things started closing down. Mike worked a bit longer in maintenance but now is on ‘on call’ status. Fortunately, we are able to stay here as long as we need to and it’s not a bad place to be!

We had originally planned to leave our rig here in storage and fly to Baltimore to visit friends and family for a couple of weeks in April. We especially wanted to be there for Easter and Candi’s mother’s 80th birthday. Due to the restrictions around the country we decided to cancel that trip and plan for a visit after this is all over.

Once we got back from Baltimore our intent was to take three weeks to travel to Denver, visiting places and friends along the way. As we get closer to that time it’s looking like we may not be able to do that either.

Our next workamping gig is in Denver at Chatfield State Park. The park is open for day use only. We’re in regular contact with Park Management and although the campground in the park is closed, we’ve  been assured that, as volunteers, we have a site and a job. The job might be different than what we originally planned for but that’s ok with us.

We still intend to be in Denver by May 7, but we may just drive straight there with no visiting or sightseeing on the way.

There are a lot of people in worse situations than we are. We consider ourselves fortunate that we have a flexible lifestyle that allows us to adapt our plans as needed.
