'18/#16 Just Hangin' And Thinkin'

Here we are in West Yellowstone, our home for the summer. This past two weeks the weather has been... let's say less than optimal. We have had rain, sleet, wind, and snow. Except for getting out to do some errands we haven't done much sightseeing lately. We did get a lot done as far as servicing the truck and getting some shopping done.

Work is getting easier as we become more proficient. The buses with all the Asian tourists still keep us hopping and the campground is becoming more routine. Being routine allows us to take more breaks and not be tethered to the office so much.

One thing we have learned in the campground is that many people are narcissistic and/ or clueless. Here we are in the middle of tourist season and approaching the 4th of July holiday and people can't understand why we don't have vacancies for them. Have they never heard of making reservations in advance? Some of them get indignant or belligerent when we tell them that our sites are all full because other people made their reservations four, five , and 6 months in advance. I just don't get it.

It looks like the weather is going to be getting better next week just in time for our days off. Right now I am sitting in the office minding the phone while Mary is taking a break back in our trailer. I'm sure she will put some dinner together and we will eat here in the office.

The phone is ringing again so I will sign off now at work near our home in West Yellowstone Montana because...

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary

  1. maybe you need to do a 'here's your sign' for those nitwits who can't understand that reservations are necessary for ANYWHERE in Yellowstone.
