Back and Forth -- Thurs., June 7

Cotulla, Texas:
For the past few days, the gate has been quiet from 6:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Very nice for a change.

During the day Bob sometimes has vehicles coming at him from four directions at once. The phase they're on now has vehicles going back and forth from Pad A to Pad B and a site close to the front gate. (So they're working on three "sites" here, even though there are only two pads.)

After everyone checked out for the day, we waited until about 7:30 p.m. when we closed the gate and went for a short bike ride back and forth about 1/4 mile to and from the gate (repeated a few times). It feels good to get out and exercise. After the short ride, Bob jogged and I took a walk to look for good photo opportunities.
Nice clouds, hot day (99 F.)
Very pretty late afternoon.

Today they added a sign to the sign.
Bob jogging.

Love the logo--no whining.
Thought for the day brought to you by Dr. Seuss:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."

  3. Hi, Susan and Bob! Do you read Our RV Adventures blog by Greg White? He is gate guarding right now as well and has put in a mister to help cut down the heat outside. Glad y'all were able to bike without a truck showing up. We have really enjoyed reading about your experiences gate guarding.

    1. Hi Peri & Jim,
      I have not read Our RV Adventures, so I have now subscribed. Thank you for the recommendation!

      Your travels sound so wonderful. Can't wait to be out on the road again.

    1. Hi Kristy,
      Thank you, glad to have you stop by.

      We are probably about 20-30 miles away from you as we're eight miles outside Cotulla. So, I guess for Texas we're kinda close.

      Are you on the myoldrv.com forum for gate guarders?

      How long have you been a GG? Which company do you work for?
