Wow

While I was gone, Aletha, Sam, Lydia, Kam, and Linny have done this. 

Front queen looks like this.

The king looks like this

The back queen looks like this

The room that had two singles in it now looks like this plus there is still a full to move into it.

Jax has Issues

 I don't think Jax likes Kit&Kaboodle but he eats it so the raccoons don't get it. I don't think he likes hot dogs but he eats them so the foxes can't have them. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like cucumbers but he eats them so Kobae can't have them. I've only seen him eat grass once or twice but as soon as Kobae started Jax walked over right next to him and ate it as fast as he could before Kobae could get it. 

Lightning Run

Ten hours to San Diego, couple hours of sleep, take Kobae and Jax for a hike, little more sleep, buy two kayaks and have grand kids test them in the pool, load up Kobae, ten hours back, unload, Kobae assumes his spot.

San Rafael Swell

I did a lightning run to San Diego last week and picked up Kobae. I was so tired when I got back I set the pictures aside and forgot about them. I stopped to take a break at the San Rafael Swell.

Shadow Hike

Every scene in the movie with the exception of one on the river and one in the Wind Caves was filmed here on the property so if you see a lot of stuff you recognize you'll know why. 

 The weather has been fantastic and Jax and I are getting in a hike almost every day. 

Last week we had four sisters stay here and this week we have five sisters staying here.

Motocross is on tonight and the Yamaha commercial that was filmed out here comes on each event after the last chance qualifiers and before the main event. 

Two mechanics came out from Mad Bro to work on the side by side that wasn't starting and couldn't figure it out so have to tow strap it to town and I'm down to one side by side with the busy season here. 

Lot of Stuff

It's been busy. The bookings are crazy. I can hardly leave the computer for an hour or two and when I come back there are six or eight more requests. I have had a couple of 20 to 30 bookings in a day. Both places are pretty much fully booked for the next eight weeks and it's expanding quickly in to the next ten weeks.

Because the disc tournament sold out so quickly as we're somewhat limited by how many people we can have here at one time we're looking at doing another one in October. We may have two of them a year. Occupancy wise the lodge is full either way but the disc people are so nice it's right doing it twice.

I ran into the County Supervisor for roads on Hurrah Monday and he said the road would be closed all day Tuesday March 9th as they were putting a semi layer of something down for dust control. SITLA who owns most of the Hurrah Pass Road is paying to have all the work arounds closed off. He sent me a picture from Hurrah this afternoon of where they have closed the old mining road off that occasionally somebody goes around in the dark and it's a daring rescue to get them back. They had an excavator up there putting big rocks to close the off road knuckleheads.

Jax and I are getting a hike in most days.

Three or four days ago the remodel looked like this.

Now it looks like this.

Snowpack is climbing. It's now 82% of the March 3rd average. April 6th is generally considered the snow pack high point and at the moment with roughly a month to go we're at 68%. There is still four or five feet between the dock and the water.
