6:40 am - Saturday - February 17th - GNHS - 50° F, humidity 80%, wind 2 mph out of the east by northeast......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 72° F. On this date in 2013 TLE and I finally made it to Key West, FL, the southern most point in the U.S.A.....
For the first time in 10 days TLE and I worked. It felt somewhat weird to be getting dressed in work clothes, and greeting customers after another long hiatus. We had just two rentals Friday.....a multi day (3 to be exact) all day rental, and a 1/2 day rental to some folks from Palm Desert. We got both of them out at their scheduled times (9 am and 10 am), and then it was time to relax....lol! Hard work, right?
While our customers were out Hunter and I began to get our rentals for Saturday ready by checking oil levels, adding oil, blowing dust out of air filters, checking tire pressures, and wiping them down after 10 days of sitting. We actually have 6 rentals going out Saturday, and 5 of them are multi day rentals, with one single all day rental, so we'll be busy both Saturday and Sunday.
Once the prep work for Saturday was finished I took off on a 1 mile out and back walk.....TLE decided to take a day off....I managed to up my average speed to 3.6 mph walking solo....
.....our 4 hour rental returned on time at 2 pm. Once they were checked back in I took the 4 seat General down to the fuel station to top off her tank, and then to the wash station to wash her, and get her ready for Saturday. Once again our multi day, all day rental returned on time, and by 5 pm I had that RZR fueled and washed for Saturday.
As I wrote yesterday, we are entering the President's Day long weekend, and the park is sold out. The RVers began streaming into the park around 8 am, and the onslaught continued well into the early evening. Along with being sold out comes the attendant rise in noise level, but we are used to that. We know that by Monday things will be back to normal when the weekenders return to their workaday lives.
When I wasn't working I was reading my current post apocalyptic series 'Bunker', and still enjoying it. Nothing else to report on for Friday. It was just one of those routine, drama free days we love here at Colorado Outback Adventures.
Thanks for stopping by!
