Yesterday was one of those days where we didn't feel like doing anything - so we didn't. We did go to the grocery store though - only 2 miles away. It will be one of the last times that we can do grocery shopping so close.
We decided last week that we needed to have a couple good walkie-talkies for when we travel. Josie has to follow the rig in the Jeep and we had to have a way to communicate with each other aside from our phones. I purchased a couple Midland radios this week at Walmart and we tried those out yesterday. The range is supposed to be up to 20 miles but we could only get about 3 miles yesterday. I guess we have to read the book to find out how to stretch the range. There is a "gain" feature that we need to learn how to use.
Josie has to call her manager at Out of Africa today and give her the bad news about leaving. She doesn't seem too concerned about doing it and that's good. Other than that, we are enjoying the last few days of our time off and getting ready to hit the road again...

Laid Back Day
It was a long day yesterday. We are getting a little anxious to see the long days end and begin a new chapter in our adventure. The fact that four of the staff members have already departed places more pressure on us to cover the work that was done by them. Of course, the lodge isn't quite as busy as it was before but we still have to cover the shifts.
The hunters came in at the expected mid-day break in their hunt to shower and do laundry. For the most part, they are a nice bunch of people. There haven't been a large number of elk taken yet because the weather has been a little warm and the bulls aren't bugling yet. It has started to cool down now and the activity is expected to pick up. The meat processor from across the street related a story to us in the store yesterday morning about a guy that came into his site at 2 AM blowing his horn to wake him up to process a huge bull (5 x 7) he had taken right at darkness. It took the hunter that long to get the animal in his truck and to the processor.
Our day today will include a large breakfast and a trip to Flagstaff to run errands. Bob needs a haircut and Josie has to have her nails done. We also need some "stuff" from Sam's Club. It will be nice to relax a little too...
