We had a monsoon storm yesterday afternoon just as expected with all the clouds we had in the AM. It wasn't a violent storm as these monsoon storms can be. It rained for about 30 minutes with a little lightening and some thunder. The temperature cooled though to a high of 82 and the total rainfall was .21" which was quite a bit for a short storm. We understand that the Valley got some pretty strong storms with lots of high wind, dust and rain. Tis the season!
The day was otherwise pretty slow in the lodge. Josie again spent the major portion of the day performing cabin duties and she again got a couple extra hours of work time. The cabins are ready for the weekend though so she is done with those duties except for some servicing such as providing towels, coffee, etc. to any of the stay overs needing them.
Today is our last day before our "weekend". We have a trip to Flagstaff planned so that Josie can get her hair cut and do some miscellaneous shopping. We will try to find some hiking boots for her also. We are anxious to do some hiking on some of the trails that have been recommended to us. We also heard about a beautiful canyon that is fairly close to the lodge that we want to investigate.
We received another email about the Alaska opportunity at Denali Park. The opportunity is well paying but we still have a logistical problem of going there for a training session right after Labor Day for 3 weeks. That is a long way to go for such a short time only to return after the training. The jobs will be from May thru Labor Day of 2010. We'll continue to discuss options with them as it is something we would love to do. They indicated that they hire about 44 staff members each year and about half of them are people returning from the previous year. That says a lot about the area, the jobs and the management. Stay tuned...
