At the end of April, I got a call from Yellowstone, wanting to talk to me about my possible employment there. Given the fact that Yellowstone’s start date was pushed back, I wasn’t too surprised. They would hardly need me in late April, if they weren’t going to open until June. I talked to the Yellowstone representative and she told me that they were still considering me for the front desk at one of their hotels. The next day, I got an email confirming it. My brother will be working in their cafeteria. We’ll be flying out to Montana in early June.
From what I understand, things are going to be run a little differently this year. I’ve seen a closure list and I know that only the Old Faithful Lodge and the Snow Lodge will be open in the Old Faithful area. And even then, it’s strictly the cabins. I heard that there’s going to be a skeleton crew this year, because few people will be staying. Everyone had to alter their reservations, even my uncle, who visits Yellowstone once a year. I’ll be there at the front desk to check him in when he arrives.
I don’t know the other restrictions this year, except that all food will be takeout and the cabins have their own bathrooms. What I do know is that this year will be an adventure. A short adventure, at only four months, but an adventure nonetheless. My mom has said that she would like to be a fly on the wall, just so she could see what it’s like.
