Planning Our Days Off

Today is our last work day before our "weekend". We were told about a lookout that was pretty easy to get to and was the highest point in the Happy Jack area. The cross country group that was mentioned in yesterday's post used that trail and the lookout as their last exercise before leaving yesterday AM. So, after we go to Flagstaff again tomorrow - Bob has another appointment with the hearing center - we will take the Forest service Road (229) to the lookout. If we don't have time tomorrow, we will do it on Wednesday.

Josie had another long day yesterday while helping the new housekeeping person get familiar with the routine. The new person (Ola) will only be working on Fri-Mon though, so there won't be complete relief for Josie from the cabins but it will help tremendously.

Options still keep coming for our winter season stint. We received another offer yesterday for a campground on the beach at Long Beach, WA. That one may be a little too wet for us though. We received another from a company that manages about 60 campgrounds in WA and OR that has asked us to consider working in one of their parks - next summer. The parks they manage are all in the mountain areas of those states and are closed in the winter. There are some good options there. We received another offer to work a Christmas tree lot in Orange County, Ca., from Nov 26 to Dec 23. The money is again terrific but it's real hard work and only for one month. We still have some time to decide, but it's nice to know there are so many options to choose from. The one "must do" option hasn't come yet. We'll see...
