The only plans we had for November was to spend Thanksgiving with Joan's nephew and his family. We'd been talking with the Virginia State Park volunteer coordinator about hosting at a park near their home but there were no openings. So, we signed up for the nearest park that sounded like it would be fun.
Belle Isle State Park on the Rappahannock River about 2 hours east of Richmond, VA. Our jobs would be to maintain the campsites (30), monitor the bath house, sell fire wood and man the Camp Store. We both trained in the store but Joan had the knack for working with people and handling the money so she did that job and Rick took care of the campground.
Here's some pictures...

We enjoyed our time at Belle Isle State Park and all the wonderful people we met and worked with.
