We're Alaska bound, but going slowly. Port Isabel, Texas, where we roosted for a couple months, is over 4,700 miles from our home base in Alaska. And, that is without detours. Detours to Czech bakeries in West, Texas. Detours to a couple of casinos in Oklahoma. Stops to visit our mothers in the Dakotas. For us, one of the advantages of being working RVers is that we don't need
to follow a strict travel schedule. We'll get to Alaska sooner or later.
I'm gradually getting some pictures and updates added to the RV-Life-and-Travel website. You can find them here.
We'll be back with the jobs update edition of this Workers on Wheels Newsletter mid-week.

Take Your Lunch and Your Gloves, and Do a Little Extra
Picking up rocks on my own initiative was why
he kept me for a second day, even though he originally hadn’t planned on it. I learned that later on, along with a few other things about why I was kept on for one of the best jobs I've had while full-time RVing.

Working RVer Tip - Dish Washer
For a seasonal job, there's always restaurant dish washing. I heard an owner and manager discussing dishwashers and this was the quote concerning the hiring requirement. "If he can stand
up straight and breath." It may not be glamorous, but the positions are readily available, in most every community. Since high school kids often work these jobs during the weekends, you may be able to work weekdays and have your weekends for fun. You may also be able to choose your hours, from very early to very late, depending on when you want time for other activities.

Property Caretaking Work for
RVers
Read the articles on our website about working as property caretakers.
Property caretaking jobs... Today you enjoy living rent-free at a beach resort or a mountain retreat. Tomorrow, you live rent-free in a city apartment or on a country estate. A few months from now, home could be a rustic Alaskan fishing lodge. Or, a tropical organic farm community.
Ranch sitting pays the bills, gives us a free RV parking, and puts us in a storybook scene of beauty.
Unlike volunteer work camping, this property caretaking paid an hourly wage.
Good property caretakers are honest and dependable. Those may be the only characteristics they share. Their skills, education, personal preference, background, and outlook on life vary greatly.
Caretaking with pets is possible, but don't take for granted that your animals are included in the caretaker offer. Some ads specify dogs and horses are welcome. An RV can help in other instances.
Mahnessah is a life-long career caretaker. He crisscrosses the U.S. and Canada in his RV, accompanied by his dog, Miah, Mahnessah has been a caretaker for properties
throughout the U.S.
The Caretaker Gazette is a
newsletter for property caretakers with job listings all over the world for house sitters, pet sitters, land caretaking, domestic help, estate managers, and farm workers.
