Living & Working in Great Places

Arrival Date

So last season I arrived on May 7 and there were alot of people around to keep eachother busy. This year i have to be there May 1. I dont assume there will be many of us there for about another week. Just curious as to what all of your arrival dates are? Probably May 8 for the majority of you. Anyone coming earlier then that? I am driving my car this year also. How many of you driving yourselfs?

Activities and Interpretation coordinator is the title I think. Basically working with the programs that NR has to make sure they meet with NPS requirements and complement the programs NPS has. Should be fun.; ▶ Reply to This

I will be performing the duties of the Acct. Mgr. and IT until an IT person is hired. I will be at the North Rim on April 15 if NPS allows us in.
Janette, I hope we can get together since we will both be early. I'll keep in touch as plans firm up.; ▶ Reply to This

On a connected subject, North Rim is still getting snow. I can see a fressh new white coating over the plateau from here, on areas that were clear up till yesterday.; ▶ Reply to This

After talking with Daisy, it does sound a bit hectic when opening the lodge but I am really looking forward to getting started. Janette sounds like she will really be quite busy getting ready for our guests by working with NPS.
I believe I'll be leaving Minnesota on 4/10.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Mike Thomason on March 24, 2009 at 4:43am: Janette, will do. I believe I'll be leaving Minnesota on 4/10. My time to complete tasks at home just got shorter. I need to stop 'goofing off' LOL. My route may take me right past you. When I get ready to leave you'll have to let me know where you're camping and I'll email my itinerary to you.. :o)); ▶ Reply to This

I am going to fly into Vegas the 25th, take the bus to St George, stay the night, and have them pick me up on the 26th. I am going to try and purchase a jeep cherokee while I am up there because some of the trails I want to hit are to far to hike to the trail head.
I am glad to see you are coming back.

Get down with the rubber finger mustache

I am really looking forward to working with everybody. I may be one of the shuttle drivers picking folks up in St. George until the all staff are at the NR. :0)); ▶ Reply to This
