It is that time of the season when our coworkers begin leaving for their winter locations. Yesterday was the beginning of the farewells and our manager, Angelica, brought in a big cake to celebrate the end of the season. The volunteers will be leaving first and we will miss most of them as we have grown closer to them during the season. The same people keep coming back year after year and they have become a close family to us during our time in Jackson this year. There are some changes rumored during the off season and we hope that none of them will create a negative environment at the Visitor Center. Right now, we plan to return next season unless there are negative changes that result in our going in a different direction. Two work days remain for us and we will head out to AZ on Monday.
The forecast for the weekend is not good. Rain and snow is in the forecast for the entire weekend and the temperatures will dip into the 20's each night. Our only concern is that we get packed and out of the area before any of the forecasted snow creates problems on the road. It's a shame we couldn't leave earlier as the last couple days - and again today - would be clear for travel, even though it is still cold (28) this morning.
Most of the visitor attractions are closing down now for the season and we expect the crowds to be smaller on each of the last two days for us. We close each of the last two nights and today will be our final working day with our manager. There will be some emotional goodbyes over the next two days...
