Today will be our last day of the "marathon". We closed yesterday at 5 PM as the business has really dropped off in the store. Chi Chi and Jaymie arrived in the afternoon and they will be taking their normal days off this week - Monday and Tuesday - and we will have our normal days off of Wednesday and Thursday.
This week we plan to go through the fifth wheel and try to downsize the weight in preparation for our departure. We brought a lot of stuff up to Happy Jack from our shed that was on the space in Surprise, and now we need to sort through what we really need and what can be returned to storage. One thing we discovered is that as long as we are given uniforms to wear for work, we don't need a lot of our clothes. We also have some files that are heavy and just take up space. Our plan is to drop by the storage space in Surprise after work on Saturday, then visit at my brother George's house in Peoria Saturday night and come home on Sunday AM in time for work. We haven't seen George or Cheryl since we arrived here and look forward to seeing them before we possibly leave the area. Close friends Cot and Lois will also be there.
There is still one more big event that is taking place at the lodge. Next week, October 15th thru the 19th, the Arizona Elk Society is conducting a youth camp. We are booked solid in all the cabins and the campground is about 50% booked. They will conduct seminars, set up an archery range and provide assistance to all youth that take an elk during the cow elk season that begins on the 15th. We will also have the restaurant open during that period so it will again be busy before the season officially ends. Jamie again indicated yesterday that if we haven't found work by the end of the month, we could stay on, but with reduced hours. That would be ok except that we want to leave the cold weather that is beginning to move in. Brrr! It's 26 again this morning.
So long for now...
