It was a fairly normal day at work for this time of the season - lots of cabins to sell, few reservations, and no tours. People are all talking about their departure dates and plans now that we are down to the last week. We have been asked to work the last day - next Thursday, the 30th - even though it is our normal day off. It's hard to believe that the time here is coming to an end, even though we are anxious to move on.
Our plan was to go to Yellowstone for our last time today. Since it was nasty weather yesterday - high of only 51, low of 43 and rain (.06") - we decided to do that tomorrow when it is suppose to improve. Today we will take care of some errands and maybe do some housekeeping to prepare for our departure.
Merchandise is flying out of the gift shop as just about everything has been reduced. All of the jewelry has been discounted 50% and with the employee discount on top of that, we get 75% off. Of course, most things had already been selling at probably 200% (or more) markup to start with. There were some great discounts on clothing also, so we did take advantage of some of those sales. The inventory has been depleted and everything that is available is now out on the floor and shelves. It is what every merchant hopes for.
That's about it for now...
