Life at the Coulter Bay RV park for employees was simple and fun. I would get up at 6:30 am and take Lucy for a walk. A very cold walk. Then go across the street to shower and dress. Back to the RV for makeup and to pack my lunch. You could drive to work at the Lodge but it was much more fun to ride the bus and visit with everyone. We would all clock in and start to work. Carmen and I worked in the warehouse where all the inventory stored. As you can tell from the pictures it was a scarey room! Lots of flammables. The two college girls are folding tshirts which was a never ending job. I wored as a clerk inputting sales orders and logging all merchandise receipts. At lunch we were off to the cafeteria which had probably the dirtiest floor in the world. In the 5 months I lived there it was NEVER mopped. I usually brought a lunch but would often get Irene, the paymaster and everyone's favorite person, to sneak me a lunch or a piece of pie. After we ate Irene would round up me and Sandra and we would walk until time to go back to work. At 5 we headed out to the bus for a ride home. Then I would walk Lucy to Coulter Bay and back, approximately 1 mile. Sometimes we walked further depending on what was planned for the evening. Once the weather was warm enough we kayaked at least once a week on the Snake River. We had potlucks once a month. Sometimes we hiked or went into Jackson. And on Friday nights we played Mexican Train and drank lots of Corona with lime. Sandra and I eventually got thrown out of the game for having too much fun!
