So far, all of the snow has stayed either north of us or in the mountains. That is fine with us. All of this poor weather is bringing in the people at the visitor center. It was super busy yesterday, all day long, and we finished the day with a near record sales total for this date. Because it is so cool and so overcast and wet, people are not going into the Park, but are staying warm and shopping in our store or getting suggestions from our volunteers on what to do in town.
Josie and I have each commented on the huge change in characteristics of the crowds in September versus the rest of the summer. We are definitely getting the older people - retirees - and they are a lot more demanding and "cranky" than the younger crowds we have had up to now. There are, of course, very few kids now, and the older folks are much tighter with their spending and complain a lot more.
We now have under two weeks to go. The plan is to keep the door open for next year, but we will be watching the changes in the organization and keeping tabs on other activities that may impact our decision to return...
