We had always driven by the turnoff to the Mormon Lake Lodge on our way to Flagstaff and have wondered if that really was a lodge - similar to our Happy Jack Lodge - so we checked it out.
We were amazed at the facilities and the size of the lodge. Also, there are many homes and RV's surrounding the lodge and roads going off the main entrance road leading up hills to even more homes in the woods. We walked into the store to see how it compared to ours. They had many items that we don't carry in our store and people have asked us where they can buy them: packaged liquor, cigarettes, fishing tackle, etc. Even though the lodge is about 24 miles north of us, it adds an alternative for people asking for things in our store that we don't carry.
We talked to the Manager of the lodge at some length after we left the store and checked out their restaurant, saloon and RV park. She indicated that they would be looking for Workampers for next year to host their RV park and encouraged us to apply. We decided, on the way home, that even though there were more amenities at the Mormon Lake lodge, it wasn't as nice as the Happy Jack setup and we would not apply there for next year. We really don't know where we will be next year. We will, however, submit an application that they gave us for the Forever Resorts group of nationwide resorts on the chance we could possibly work one of their other locations. The RV park they had was not anywhere near as nice as ours, and the host would only be paid minimum wage for 20-25 hours which amounted to much less than we were making at Happy Jack.
So ended our two days off. We work the morning shift today and for the next 4 days, and then work Sunday afternoon to end our work week. The place is quiet once again with the holiday crowd gone for now...
