12 Of the Best, Dreamiest, and Most Unusual Post-Retirement Jobs

Excerpt:

We got the Sunday paper today to look for a new place to live. The classifieds had nothing.

If I had a big travel trailer I could park sit at one of the NC state parks. The state sets you up near the bathhouse for access to electricity and sewer. Then just keep the bathhouse and camping area clean.

A free spot for the year. No pay of course, but a nice place to live. The parks have no electrical or water hookups for travel trailers. The last time I was there we slept with screen windows open. The no seeums ate us alive. That night was the last time we stayed at a NC park.

Popdigr met a guy (he was 70-ish) that was living at the various campgrounds at Land Between The Lakes Nat'l Recreation Area. They have a two week limit on campground stays, so the guy just pulled his camper to one of the other campgrounds every two weeks. Just the dude and his dog and their camper.

The guy would say (to the dog), "Jody, go over there and get me that stick." The dog would start coming back w/a stick and the guy would say "No, bring me that other stick." And Jody would drop the stick and get another one. After a time or two of getting 'the wrong stick', Jody would look back at dude before picking up a stick, like "Is this one ok?"

I used to camp with my motorcycle. If I wanted a fire I didn't go to the camp store for a bundle of green wood. I would empty my saddlebags and leave the lids at camp. Ride just outside the park gates and there was plenty of wood laying on the ground. Stuff the bags, bungee wood to the rack and passenger seat. Have a length of rope to pull some large long pieces back to camp. I would have enough for a few days and some leftovers for the next tenant.
