Work

First, I will say that work has been going great. I have been staying very busy. After we completed our orientation process on Friday, we started working almost immediately. For the past couple of days I have been cleaning cabins and hotel-style rooms located throughout Canyon Lodge. Because we are preparing the cabins for the first time since last year, we are “deep cleaning.” As part of this, we have to do some extra cleaning. That means having to spend time on your knees scrubbing toilets and showers; and even worse, cleaning the floor with a hand rag. The work is hard, but I am managing.

I stopped by the on-site Canyon Visitor’s Center today. It’s amazing. It has a movie theater and everything. There is also a bookstore in the visitor’s centers that has a lot of books that relate to Yellowstone.

Canyon Lodge will open on Friday, so that’s when things will start to get pretty interesting. I’ve been told that this is the hardest week we will ever work, considering we are having to “deep clean” every location in the park. After it opens, we only do general cleaning which is much easier.

Took a look today at my countdown calendar, 86 days remaining in Yellowstone National Park!
