Well, we made it to the end of the season. Today will be our final day at the Visitor Center for the 2017 summer season. We said our farewells yesterday to the folks that are not working today, including our manager. It will be a long and mostly boring day today if it is anything like yesterday. We only had a handful of customers between about 5 PM and the closing time at 7 PM. It has been a more difficult year than last, but we made many new friends and enjoyed the area, as usual. We will wait to see what changes are going to be made before totally committing to return again next year.
We must get everything together and packed away beginning tonight for our departure on Monday. The weather will not cooperate based on the current forecast, but we will have to somehow get it done anyway. Once we get south of the Jackson area, it should clear and we hope to have good weather for the rest of the trip.
I have to make a trip to the post office this morning to try and find out what happened to a medication delivery I should have received yesterday. I made a mistake in ordering my medication so close to our departure but I didn't see any potential problems with the delivery that was promised yesterday. It turns out that no mail is delivered to our business address and only UPS and FedEx packages are delivered. The real mistake I made was not finding out, up front, how the delivery was going be made. I assumed it would be UPS or FedEx. Bad assumption. I'm sure it will work out ok.
It looks like some of our neighbors are all hitched up and ready to leave today. We wish we were one of them as those folks will beat the bad weather. Maybe next year - if we return - we will only work until September 15 which was the original end of season scheduled for us before we changed it to September 30...
