Park Filling Up

It was mentioned that clubs make up a large portion of the business here. One checked in on Thursday - a group of 7 rigs - and another with 6 rigs checked in yesterday. That makes for a nice crowd that utilizes our facilities to the fullest. I spent a portion of yesterday trying to diagnose a problem that one group had setting up the DVD player in the barn meeting room. It turns out that the TV in that room isn't used at all and there is a large screen that pulls down in front of the TV and uses a projector, set up in the back of the room, for all media. That is where the Sunday Super Bowl party is scheduled to be held and the game will be televised on the large projection screen. There was only one staff member that knew how to set it up. Now there are two.

Both of us did our normal tasks - Josie at the front desk and I was in a corner of the store doing computer stuff. We learn a little more each day and I watch the staff as they perform closing procedures so that I can back them up when necessary. We finished the day with a hot dog dinner at the gazebo in the park. The staff does this often and it is a nice way to get to know everybody better. Even park guests are invited to these impromptu dinners.

We had a visit from our deer family again yesterday morning after Josie left for work but before I left. They seem to like this particular area of the park. We have had rain the last few days - not much, but enough - .33" on Thursday, .35" yesterday, and .01" so far today. It is also cooler here than in Palm Springs as you would guess, but not so cold that snow is a problem. We are getting to the time that most storm tracks go north of this area so we are anxious for that to happen.

Today is our final work day for this week. Our next scheduled day is Wednesday, so we get to enjoy some more "discover" time for the next 3 days. We do look forward to those days...
