While we were taking our trip to Sheridan on Thursday, Karen and George were taking a trip to Jackson and the Tetons - or so we thought. Their truck was still missing from their parking space next to their rig late Friday, and again all morning on Saturday leading us to believe that they may have decided to stay over an extra day. Wrong. It turns out that they only got about 20 miles outside of Cody on Thursday morning and their truck broke down. They had to have the truck towed to a repair shop in Cody and they won't have it back until later in the week after the problem gets diagnosed and can be fixed. We didn't find out about it until we began work yesterday. They tried to tell us on Thursday, but of course, we were gone on our trip to Sheridan.
We are planning to go to a buffet lunch today at the Irma's Hotel in town before we start our work day. That is something we have talked about doing all summer long and decided we better do it before the season gets away from us. We will pick up Karen and George from their church (they have a ride there) and go as a foursome.
People are beginning to prepare their rigs for departure. The folks next to us are leaving on the 16th of September and there are some other people leaving prior to the 1st of October. Evidently, they all have commitments to be somewhere else by the 1st, which they negotiated with our management before they started here. It will be interesting to watch this slow process of shutting down operations here. Of course, only the cabins are shutting down completely by October 1st. The Holiday Inn and the Comfort Inn will still be open for the entire year, but with a smaller staff of locals. That's about it for now...
