Construction

We saw that there were two exercise classes scheduled yesterday morning at the Senior Center so we passed on the treadmill workout so that we weren't interrupted.

There is a huge construction project in process behind our fifth wheel. The city is building a bus barn and maintenance facility for the public transportation system in the city. The Start Bus is a free shuttle that runs every 1/2 hour and travels around the entire town of Jackson and even to Teton Village. The construction has reached the point where they need to tie into the power source which is contained in a couple big metal boxes behind our rig. They started digging a trench behind us and we were curious enough to watch the workers. This is our scene from the rear window of our fifth wheel:



They were still digging the trench when we left for work at 3 PM.

Our work last night was typical as we sold out once again. Soon there will be days when we have lots of rooms left over as the families with kids are beginning to disappear. Once school starts, the profile of the guests changes from young traveling families to older couples traveling - many without reservations which increases our walk-in traffic, but doesn't allow for sell-outs.

The forecast is for rain today and we plan to go to the Senior Center for a workout before doing anything else on our day off. We have scheduled ourselves to work tomorrow AM on the early shift of  7 to 3 PM. It will make up for the day we missed when we traveled to WA last week. In the meantime, the workers continue (in the rain) on the ditch behind us:


as the digging continues...
