Great hearing from you Connie....I had a feeling you were having Internet issues as a number of you seemed to disappear from the web site for the last two weeks. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to use my laptop and cell phone at Fishing Bridge. So I check in with DNC on Monday morning...I sure hope they are expecting me! It occurred to me on the way up that I really didn't contact them after getting my employment agreement, and returning all the paperwork. I assumed that if anything was wrong they would call me....there I go assuming again :-) Anyway, I am sure everything is just fine....I just like to worry a lot. Not sure how quick I'll make it to tower, but I know we wanted to share a hike or go horseback riding (or both!) My first priority is to get moved in, and get my work routine down. I'll be posting my time off days as soon as I know them. Hopefully will meet you soon. Richard

It is probably better that you are gettin in a little later than I did. We have been without so much at tower. Today is the first day I got my WiFi hookup and that is only because I caught the guy who was hooking it up and the rest is a long story. Mammouth and Tower were without electricity Thursday morning, We didn't get hot water until I think Wed. all the days are running together. But I did get my first paycheck today and it was a little more than I expected for the first week. Still not much.. but the scenery is part of the pay up here. As well as the interesting people you get to work with. I keep waffeling back and forth between loving it and wondering why in the world I said I would do this into September. I have virtually no phone service. I had a room where I did have it, but moved to this one thinking I could still get verizon... I have to go out on the fire escape to talk to anyone.. But, so far, I think the good outweighs the bad.. They openned Dunraven pass today and that is a big plus for getting around. Most of our customers show up just before the store closes and the lines get really long.. I have been the only person on cash register at that time.. but, it is working out well. The meals are so good I eat much to much!
