Thing are interesting here to say the least. The North Rim side of the Park will not open until the 16th of May because of the roads inside the park are still blocked, having received 25 feet of snow this winter. Jim Beaushay (sp?), facilities manager, said they have been plowing since Mar 10. The state's road crew is coming in today to help out and the road will be close to traffic all day.
The water is shut of to Norton Court (employee RV parking) because of a water leak loosing 8,000 gallons a day so I moved into one of the apartments, and they haven't even tested the water lines coming up from the canyon yet. My bedroom window is on the north side and all of the roof snow was piled in front of it. I spent yesterday afternoon moving the snow and taking the plywood from the window so it would not feel like living in a cave. Snow is still blocking a lot of the light but it is better that total dark. I like the daylight when I wake up in the morning.
Because of budgets, not all fee collectors will be here for the opening and will have to do OJT when they get here. I did have a 3-day weekend coming up this weekend but that has been changed and I
am off today and will have Sat. and Sun. off. I got the name of a good doctor in Kanab and will try to get an appointment for Fri or Mon if possible and adjust my schedule as needed. My BP is still running high.
We might be able to get the RVs in this weekend but the sites are very soft. I might just bring mine on in and just set up in a parking lot for a few days. Better that sharing the apartment. My roomies are an older (than me) couple (Married 51 years).
My assigned RV site is the same one I had in 2001, not good for the Sat. Dish. Will try to get another that looks like it has a little chance. None are real good for it.
I went out yesterday to gather some things from the RV that I had forgotten. Jacob Lake did not have the Blue Cheese Burger on the menu. I asked about it but the girl was new and didn't know about it. Coming back in I saw a coyote pouncing at something in one of the snow covered meadows and knew you would love to have seen it.
