Erratic Traffic at Work

It's hard to figure out what is going to happen at work these days. Saturday was super busy to the point that we barely had enough time to sit down for a short break. Yesterday, we were sold out of our cabins by 5 PM and the last reservation checked in by 6 PM. That left from about 6 PM to 10:30 with very little to do. I'm not sure which is better. The time goes by faster when we're busy, but the stress level is higher. Maybe we'll get a good mix someday before we leave. We know that it will get less busy as the kids all begin to go back to school and the crowd turns to almost exclusively retired people. September will most likely be a slow month.

While having less work to do, we had more time for casual conversation. We're trying to figure out the best route to get to Patty's house in Naperville, IL, from here in early October. No matter which way we choose, there are mountains to go over with some degree of passes. That makes Josie nervous, as she will be following in the Jeep. The only way to avoid the mountains is to go a couple hundred miles out of the way - either to Billings to the north to pick up I-90, or to go way south and take non Interstate roads for several hundred miles. We still have some time to figure out the final route. One of the people at work has suggested the route that I thought we should take which includes just a short trip through the lower mountains, and picking up I-90 in Buffalo, WY. We'll see.

Today is "hump" day, which means mid week for us. We are probably going to do one of our longer trips this week on our days off - Jackson and the Tetons, or Riverton and the casino. Or, maybe we'll do one this week, and the other next so that it breaks it up a little bit. We'll decide soon, but that's about it for now...
