It's about that time of year when thoughts turn towards winter employment. This year, instead of Amazon.com, Phil and I are hoping to get a job that runs from October through March, or even longer if need be. We're hoping for a job in Death Valley at Furnace Creek Inn and Ranch Resort. If anyone's ever stayed there, or better yet, worked there, please email us and tell us about it. We really liked our drive through Death Valley a couple years ago (even though we thought our truck was going to explode), and it would be a nice place to stay for awhile.

Not really much new to report at Custer State Park. We're working hard, and getting out and about on our day off. Phil was feeling well enough yesterday to eat Chinese food, so we drove into Rapid City to get our fixes. Then we took Willoughby splashing around the creek for awhile, but it was near 90 degrees, and Xander, who won't dunk himself in the water, was overheating, so we had to cut the trip short and take him home to sprawl out in the air conditioning.
