Early Winter?

October 12, 2009

Last October 12, we got our first snow before Winter time starts. The weather is getting colder and colder as the time goes by. Then this morning, another batch of snow keeps on falling when I woke up this morning.

October 16, 2009

The sky is gloomy and there's no sunshine playing peek-a-boo. The campground is already closed for the season. Wish I will see sunshine in the next coming days.

Fall Is Here

Summer is over and here comes another season - the Fall. The campground will be closing soon. We are also getting ready for the closing. Cleaning the two Cabins, shutting down the two rows in the campsite and cleaning the bathrooms really good. We will see you in the spring!

Foggy Morning

When I woke up this morning, I can barely see the Interstate-94 and the cars passing by. It was foggy. I took a picture of it. Is this the sign of a changing season or is it because it rained two days ago?


I just can't wait for the season to change. I bet that all you have been waiting for the Fall season.

The Family That Travels Together...

... Stays together! There were 9 campers who came in yesterday to stay in the campground. A woman called yesterday to reserved 9 sites for them.

Motor Home, Travel Trailer, 5th Wheel parked all the way to the campground's mailbox.

Motor Homes parked in-front of the office waiting for their turn to be escorted.

I took the reservation in the morning and see to it that all of them will have a nice and shady site for the night. It was an overwhelming day when they all came in together at around 4 PM.

Camper went out of their camping unit to stretch their legs and decided to have a little walk going to the office.

I thought I couldn't handle registering them all at once, but I manage to give my good service to all of them. Winn and Marvin parked them first to their own sites. The campground was full last night and it was really a blessing from God.

Thanks to Winn and Marvin for parking all 9 campers to their own site. It was such an overwhelming day for every one of us in the campground. The campers were all happy and had a good time staying with us.

Just A Quick Update

There's so many things happening in the campground lately and so, I wasn't able to update this website for a while now. I know I should write more but the time at work is just crazy. Winn and Marvin are busy fixing the walls of the building. Just look at the picture above and below. The walls around the building looks great! The campground is getting better and nicer.

One week ago, another minor construction in front of the building - fixing the road. We contacted the paving company to do the road paving. It is just nice to see that something has done great for the campers.

We have to put 2 speed bumps at both ends so the people will drive carefully and will observe the 5 mph driving speed limit. The 5 mph is implemented throughout the campground for the safety of everyone throughout the campground.

No Parking On Grass

In Jamestown Campground, we implement the No Parking on Grass. People should know that they shouldn't park on grass. But we always have to remind to some people when they do park on grass. Just give a little respect for the grass and the campground.

Campground Anniversary

Today is the campground anniversary. We took over the campground 1st of August 2008. I was really excited as I was doing my thing. Learning was fun and I put a smile on everything I do.

Summer Time

It's summer time! But I just don't feel like it's summer because the weather is acting weird. There's snowfalls in June, mixed rain and hail in the month of July, very cool temperature plus the wind was blowing ridiculously that made the whole summer to be a cool weather. It is actually a very cold summer. I don't have any complains at all because we live in North Dakota now.

Opening Dates

The campground opens on May 1st and closes on October 1st every year. This year, we opened April 3rd because one camper had to be in Jamestown for work. We provided electricity for his travel trailer and after the snow melts on the 3rd week of April, they finally got water and sewer.

It was a long winter journey for us. The blizzard made us stay home and get bored. But we survive after all.

The New Layout

For this blog, I have been thinking what would be the best layout I could come up plus the color and everything here. I would like to have something nice so my readers will be interested to everything I post here. I contacted Ivy - The Designer Chic to create the layout for this blog. I already purchased the domain for this blog and it seems that it is not working too well. I need to know what's going on or else the money I paid for the domain is gone.

I wish to hear from Ivy soon so I can make more posts and ready for the publish. I am also excited for the new layout of this blog.

Living In Jamestown, North Dakota

Jamestown is a city in North Dakota. It is the county seat of Stutsman County. The population was 15, 527 at the 2000 census, making it the 7th largest city in North Dakota. Jamestown was founded in 1872.

The symbol of Jamestown

From Kentucky to North Dakota! I lived in Kentucky for a year before we finally moved to Jamestown, North Dakota last July 2008. When I first came to Jamestown, I noticed so many things and I compare it to the state of Kentucky. In Kentucky, all roads are paved (no matter how big or small it is). Here in Jamestown, North Dakota, I have to complain about the dust and the gravel road. It is very dusty!

Back in Kentucky, I always have a clean car. Here in North Dakota, I find my car always dirty. It feels like the people in Jamestown and the surrounding towns are used to having dirty cars. Come on, someone has to do their job and pave the roads! Where all the tax money go?

Alright, enough for the ranting!

The Jamestown Campground

We were camping summer of 2008 when Winn told me that it is time to go home back in Kentucky. We have been camping for over 2 weeks and I am also tired. So I said yes. We took the route going north since I told him that I wanted to visit North Dakota and see its capital - Bismarck. I have been to North Dakota twice but we went to Grand Forks and Fargo and I didn't see much around the state.

After camping in Montana, we went straight to North Dakota. I thought we are going to stay for a night in Bismarck since there's lots of nice scenic spots to see in the capital of North Dakota. I was wrong! Winn keeps on driving and I ended up being upset. I went to sleep while he's driving. I woke up still not talking to my driver. Then he told me to look for a campground so we could retire for the night. It has been a long drive from Bozeman, Montana to Jamestown, North Dakota.

I saw a campground which was right near the Interstate 94 - Jamestown Campground. Winn went inside the office and register for 1 night. The campground is nice and clean. The lady that escorted to our site (previous owner of the campground) was picking up sticks. Winn was very polite to asked her, "What its like to run a campground?" The lady said, " The campground is for sale, buy it and you will know." They both had a long conversation on how to run the campground. We stayed for another night and went back to Kentucky.
