It has been a tiring few days from all the strenuous snow shoveling and stocking of boxes. I feel like I have been getting in much better shape though lately. Combined with all the walking and hiking that I have done in the past several days, I have been burning off those calories!
The snow is so deep! However, the pit is coming along. That's the area where the snow was piled the highest. The top of the building was barely visible over the snow piles. I think that everyone here is working hard, and working together. I expect it to be a very successful season for everyone overall! The progress is very visible. It's amazing the amount of snow that there is out there! I am starting to get more and more excited for when the store actually opens (which should be Wednesday, May 29th). I am keeping my fingers crossed that all goes that way.
However, I have been thinking lately about how much I will miss some of the friends that I made from last year. I think that it was a very nice season last year. Really, I don't expect to ever be able to replace the people that I met from last year. I am just hoping to meet a lot of new people. It's such an amazing place to work here in Rocky Mountain National Park! One of the only negatives about this job is that I make so many friends and then I don't get to see most of them again.
Well, there are going to be several more days filled with hours and hours of snow shoveling. I plan on posting updates periodically through out this summer. Especially when I start more hiking and adventuring in the park!
