Cabin Traffic Slowing Down

After a half hour of madness at the front desk when I went on duty yesterday, it was noticeably slower as the cabin traffic is slowing down. We started with 26 cabins to sell at 2 :30 PM, and by the time I left at 10:30 PM, there were still 10 cabins available. That's the first time since we started that there not only were cabins left vacant, but that they weren't all sold by around 5 PM. We had 1 tour come in and only about 20 reservations. We are told that as we get closer to the end of season, more tours and fewer singles will be the norm. Families - especially with small kids - are all gone.

The weather, although beautiful and dry, heated up yesterday. The high was 97 which is hot for this area. There haven't been too many days like that so we can live with that. Another day in the 90's is expected today.

One of the individuals that checked into the cabins the other day was a gentleman that was born at the Heart Mountain Japanese Internment camp that we visited during our early days here. There is a Foundation that was formed to provide education of the events and memorialize the internment of these people during WWII. The group will be meeting at the Holiday Inn here and we understand that their goal is to construct an Interpretive Learning Center at the site which is only a few miles from here. It is an interesting story, and one that we Americans are not too proud to tell.

We have until 2:30 today to relax before heading back to work. Nothing else is planned this morning, so until tomorrow...
