Cabin Closures Begin

Not much happened at work yesterday. There were 2 tours in and we couldn't sell the 10 cabins we had vacant. The flow of people is dwindling to near zero. The cabin closure process begins today with about 20 cabins slated to be stripped, cleaned and closed up for the winter. There is only 1 more tour scheduled to come in, and that one will be in on Thursday, the last day of the season. Karen and I both will work on Thursday - our normal day off - so that they can wrap up the season. Josie, on the other hand, has Thursday off and will help out a little on Friday to pack up the gift shop for the winter. Then it's out of here on Saturday morning.

The weather continues to be spectacular - high of 86, low of 52 yesterday. The forecast is for it to remain the same through at least Monday, so it looks like we will be taking the northern route to Illinois, via Rapid City and Mt Rushmore. Most people are planning to leave on Saturday, same as us, so it may be a caravan out of the camping area on that morning.

There are no plans this morning except to continue our chore of housekeeping on the inside of the fifth wheel. There are still areas that need attention - like the storage area under the bed. Basically though, we are about ready to go. I will also try to finalize our exact route this morning, with all the campgrounds identified where we will be staying. I'm finding out that many of them are already closed for the winter, and others have cut back on their hookups (such as water) for the winter. We'll find the right combination but it may take a little more research than normal. Until tomorrow...
