Dreary, Rainy Day

Yesterday was the first day that we had overcast skies and rain for most of the day. Usually, we get a storm sometime during the afternoon on days we get rain, but yesterday was a steady, but slow rain. Our total rainfall for the day was only .24" but it seemed like more. The temperature range was 69 high and 50 low - a typical fall day.

The arrivals of the Labor Day crowd went smoothly and we're once again filled to capacity in the campground. There are still a few cabins available which surprised us for the holiday weekend. The store was busy non-stop most of the day. The concern now is that it may turn out be a repeat of the Memorial Day weekend where we also had rain and it created a situation of mud everywhere. We had to spend a lot of time heading off people with muddy boots and shoes that were using our restrooms and showers. The problem compounds itself with the hunting season being open now. There are several hunters that, even though they are staying in the woods, come into our place to shower and do laundry. Uhg!

Today is the last work day for Grayce, our co-worker in the store. She does not have a commitment for a winter Workamping job so she will use the time between now and her next job to go back to her native Wisconsin to have some surgery performed that she has been delaying. The folks here at the lodge have told her she could leave her rig here until that is over which would be about two weeks. That is a nice gesture.

We normally work the late shift on Sundays but today we were asked to switch with Chi Chi and Jamie because the bar and lounge (Jack's Place) will be open tonight for the holiday weekend and they wanted to work the afternoon shift to cover that tonight. So, today we are on from 7 to 1. Starting tomorrow, we will have to work the entire day on Mondays and Tuesdays since they are the days that Chi Chi and Jamie have off. We look forward to that challenge, so until tomorrow...
