Thunderstorms Last Night

The most significant event yesterday was the stream of thunderstorms that went through here while working. For some reason, they seem more violent in the east than I remember them being on the west coast. Every time the lightning occurs, it seems like it is right on top of you. The one effect it had last night while working the security shift was it chased everybody inside and made for a quiet evening -until the storms passed through. The rains arrived after the thunderstorms, and it was fairly steady all night. Believe it or not, the same group of people that have caused a problem every night were out again - in the rain. There are about 20 people in this crowd that moves around to a different location each night, but are always loud and obnoxious. Last night, I watched the party from a vantage point on the next street over where I couldn't be seen by them. I was shocked when, at about 10:30 PM, I saw one of the women in the group marching around - topless! That incident will be reported to management today and something needs to be done to get that situation under control before the real crowds arrive after Memorial Day. This certainly is a different experience.

Our last day of the work week is today and we both work only 5 hours - 1 to 6. There is no security assignment today as most people will be leaving for the work week, or to get their kids back to school. Josie will do her usual front desk reservations, store sales, and miscellaneous activities in the office. My job today will be mostly cleaning up after the weekend crowd - fire rings cleaning, picnic table moving and general trash removal from the sites. I plan to take my camera to work each day now, as there are usually some interesting things that would be good to have in pictures. :)

It appears that the storms are over for now as the sun is out and the sky is mostly clear. We are hoping that it stays this way for our days off on Monday and Tuesday so we can do some exploring in the area. There are some neat choices, so stay tuned...
