Exodus Has Started

The number of empty spaces in the camping area is growing by the day. Two more couples left this morning and there are about 4 more leaving tomorrow. The big day will be Saturday when most of the rest of us are leaving.

The number of customers at work keeps dwindling and it is tougher and tougher to rent the vacant cabins each day now. There will be more cabin closures today and we will be at just about half way for the closures - 40 out of 83 total cabins. As mentioned before, there is only 1 tour remaining - for tomorrow - and that ends the tour business. Very little is done at all at work now and most of the time we sit around and talk. Josie and I have decided that if we do return next year, we will establish our end date about 2 weeks earlier. There is really no reason for us to remain now, except for our commitment to stay until after the 1st of October.

We got up pretty early this morning as a truck pulled into the (vacated) space next to us to cut down a couple of dead trees that were behind us. We are also having our rig washed, including the roof and a waxing of the front cap on the fifth wheel, later this morning. There's a local guy that does that for just about everybody in here and he only charges $65 each. For that kind of money, he can do ours and I don't have to climb onto the roof to clean it myself.

When we ate lunch at the Senior Center a while ago, we received 2 wooden "nickels" to use for free lunches in the future. We - including Karen and George - will use those nickels for a last "free" lunch at the Center tomorrow.

We're still not totally clear on our work schedule for Thursday and Friday, but the end of our time here is fast approaching...
