25 and Falling

It is 25 degrees outside as I write this entry this morning. Aside from the very cold temperatures, the forecast for the weekend - our last - is for rain and snow. It doesn't appear that we will get out of town without experiencing more cold and wet weather. We even considered leaving on Sunday following our final work day, but it isn't going to be any better than Monday which is our scheduled departure day. Ho hum.

While taking a photo of the sunrise yesterday AM I captured this shot of a moose walking across the Elk Refuge:

This is the shot of the sunrise with the mountains covered with snow in the distance:

We start at 8:45 AM this morning as the Visitor Center will close early at 5 PM today. There is a farewell dinner scheduled for all the employees and volunteers for tonight at the Elks Club in Jackson. We are thinking that, if we return again next season, we will leave on September 15 which was our original quitting date this year before we changed it to September 30.

There was some bad news yesterday from Pioneer RV Resort where we will be staying again this winter. They gave up our space - #90 - to a full time customer and reassigned us to space #185 for this season. That means I have to change our address again - everywhere - so that we will get all our mail at the new location. We knew about that possibility before we left in May, but didn't want to spend money for the space when we would not be using it during the summer months.

We did get a head start yesterday in packing away some outside stuff - like the grill and chairs. We are limping to the finish line this season...
