They work in the mine or temporary construction projects, leaving family behind. They’re young and transient, finding work where they can. One just left for a better job in Alaska; a long haul from New Mexico for a Washington State resident. Another leaves today for Wyoming, with his parents hauling the trailer back to Arizona for the time being; his wife and kids will join him later. They drive large trucks able to pull fifth-wheel trailers or ordinary travel trailers. RV parks, it turns out, are not just rest or vacation stops for a public that chooses to bring accomodations with them–they are the way stations for a nomadic work force that goes where the jobs are. There will be more to tell, as I talk with my fellow “kampers.”
