More Cold and Rain

It appears that our traveling schedule had us arriving here just in time. It has been wet and cold since we arrived. Yesterday was probably the worse so far as it rained almost the whole day. Coupled with temperatures in the low 50's, it was just a good day to stay home and do nothing. Except for a short trip to the store to get some food and a stop at the Lodge front desk, that's what we did.

The other couple - Fields and Maggie - were on duty at the front desk and we chatted a while about the computer system and about the Lodge layout. There are 171 rooms here and we talked about the different room configurations. It doesn't sound too bad but it will take some time to learn the different rooms and their locations.

We also spoke with Judy, the Manager, and she gave us the catalog to select our uniform shirts for the summer. She will order 3 shirts for each of us - any color or style we want - and anything else we want we can order separately at our own expense. We will order a sweatshirt and a vest with the Lodge logo as extra clothing to get us through the cool days. She also has us scheduled to work on Monday from 8 AM till noon for training. The first week will be short days as we will be learning the ropes and preparing for the crowds that will be arriving in early June.

It's still cool - 41 - this morning and overcast, with just some occasional rain. The weather has given us a chance to complete some long overdue repairs in the fifth wheel - like re-stringing shades and fixing small water leaks. We did set up the grill last night between rain drops and had a steak and corn on the cob which we haven't had in what seems like ages. We are just waiting for the nice weather to arrive so we can take in the Tetons and get back to Yellowstone. In the meantime, we are enjoying the free time, no matter what the weather is like...
