<linda> Kat, think about it
07:11:47
<Kat> Oh, I am just put the dates in my calendar! We'll talk!
07:12:16

07:12:40
<linda> Kat, got so excited huh?
07:13:13
<Kat> linda, yep! LOL
07:13:16
<Dave from B™> C'mon, Linda. Just auction off the bed to help pay for your trip:D
07:13:31
<Dave from B™> Kat doesn't really want to go anyway.
07:13:34
<linda> Dave from B™, lol, good morning
07:13:38
<Kat> Dave from B™, she just did a I have first bid!
07:14:02
<Dave from B™> I hope both of you get to YNP this year
07:14:24
<linda> Dave from B™, me too. the thought of not going is yucky ;)
07:14:54
<Kat> You could fly to Denver Linda and we can just take my car!
07:15:03
<Kat> Save on rental
07:15:10
<linda> Kat, sounds like a fine idea
07:15:23
<Kat> linda, :)
07:16:22
<Kat> Then drive back to Denver and you could fly home from there. We would have a place to stay too there
07:16:36
<linda> i have a ton of miles from delta I need to use
07:16:52
<linda> Kat, :)
07:17:11
<Dave from B™> Tickets to Denver are cheaper as well
07:17:22
<linda> Dave from B™, for sure
07:18:33
<linda> and these cabins have amenties, like a fridge
07:21:59
<Kat> I just looked it up! They are nice!
07:24:27
<Dave from B™> Didn't they just remodel some of those rooms?
07:24:56
<Kat> linda, could go really cheap and camp at Madison! 39.00 a night
07:25:02
<Kat> Dave from B™, i believe so
07:25:36
<Dave from B™> I think it is closer to $20 if you are a senior
07:25:43
<Kat> Visibility bad!
07:25:55
<linda> Dave from B™, dont know, stayed in one in canyon once
07:25:59
<Kat> Dave from B™, correct- how did you know? LOL
07:26:44
<Dave from B™> 099 told me:)
07:26:57
<Kat> Lake is pretty far from the basin - would mean leaving very early for OF
07:27:02
<Kat> Dave from B™, LOL
07:28:30
<linda> my lungs and body don't deal well with camping, we'll talk
07:28:31
<Kat> It's doable - my motto is you can sleep when your dead haha
07:29:08
<Kat> linda, i get it! cabin is great!
07:29:22
<linda> Kat, I just booked what was available
07:30:17
<linda> Kat, i will keep looking
07:30:30
<Kat> linda, lucky to get that! :) They are really nice! So much to see
07:31:21
<Dave from B™> At Lake, you are so close to Hayden Valley and Canyon
07:31:38
<linda> Dave from B™, yes and closer to lamar
07:34:31
<linda> Kat, pm'd you

07:46:36
<Kat> Oops! LOL
07:46:53
<linda> :D
07:47:01
<Kat> Not going to see Daisy!
07:52:27
<Kat> Dave from B™, you're going to have to get to the park in August! :)
07:55:36
<Dave from B™> Being down 2 full timers at work limits what I can do. I'm hoping to start traveling in July/August.
07:56:21
<Kat> LC
07:56:46
<Kat> Dave from B™, :thumbsup:
07:57:51
<Dave from B™> I'm itching to get to the park as well. All the bear sightings. I WANT to go:)
07:58:07

<Kat> Clearing nicely
08:18:45
<Kat> Tardy
08:24:41
<Art (Working)> My god, cabins w/ no bath are $165 a night now with taxes
08:24:52
<Art (Working)> Sorry just looking online and almost spit out my coffee
08:25:19
<linda> :D
08:25:49
<Art (Working)> I just submitted an expense report for work and that's more than one night hotel I paid for next to Bryant Park in NYC
08:26:23
<Dave from B™> Art, I know but check all around the park. Prices are outrageous.
08:27:12
<Art (Working)> But isn't all the lodging around the park owned by the same 2 companies?
08:27:24
<Dave from B™> Channcellor was saying OFI Old house wihtout bath are 225+tax
08:29:05
<Art (Working)> Not sure if true but heard that a lot of the lodging got bought up by DNC/Xanterra around park?
08:29:37
<Dave from B™> I think they own a few in West. I'm not positive.
08:30:39
<Dave from B™> And, people wonder why so many people are boondocking and camping these days
08:31:42
<Art (Working)> Lots of folks boondcking in the pullouts here in Gardiner this year (I'm assuming due to Mammoth being closed)
08:32:04
<Art (Working)> It used to be common to have all the pullouts full when Mammoth was First Come First Serve but once they moved to reservations that stopped
08:36:48
<Kat> So many people are priced out of ging at all!
08:37:55
<Kat> going*
08:39:11
<Kevin L™ 🌵> My kids will never be able to take their families like I did. I would get 2 cabins without bath.
08:41:43
<Art (Working)> 10 years ago we paid $50 a night for a cabin I believe
08:42:09
<Art (Working)> Roosevelt cabin, no heat no bath, no water even just a bed in a box ;)
08:42:31
<Kat> Art (Working), I remember that!
08:42:51
<Kat> Cabins with bath were under 100.00
08:43:05
<Dave from B™> I remember paying $9/night for those. Aren't they almost a 100 now?
08:43:48
<Kevin L™ 🌵> When I first came to the park I paid $49 for a cabin without a bath at the Lodge - weekly rate!
08:45:41
<Kat> Kevin L™ 🌵, wow
08:46:17
<Kat> Camping is the way to go!
08:48:28
<Dave from B™> I have stayed at so many awesome free spots. Of course, depreciation on my rv isn't free. But for some reason, that doesn't feel as bad.
08:52:23
<Kevin L™ 🌵> At least you don't have to pack every knight.
08:56:21
<Dave from B™> That is definitely a plus and I can also be out of my campsite in 3 minutes if necessary
09:01:03
<Art (Working)> And as expected, Firehole lake drive, which had 0 repairs done to it, is closed again
09:03:35
<Kat> OF finally
09:04:25
<Art (Working)> I'm not sure what was more entertaining, watching Pink Cone, Bead, Box, etc., or watching cars attempt to drive through the damaged section of road
09:04:51
<Art (Working)> You can not get around them so your only way around is through
09:07:11
<Dave from B™> I wonder why it even opened in the first place
09:13:34
<Dave from B™> What other construction is currently going on in the park and why can't this be a top priority. Or, with thermal road damage are they thinking of moving the road?
09:14:59
<Kevin L™ 🌵> A bandaid on a compound fracture does no good.
09:16:31
<Dave from B™> I hope they aren't thinking of making that a biking/hiking trail
09:17:53
<KorbenC(T-4)> Good morning all
09:18:06
<Kevin L™ 🌵> hi
09:18:18
<linda> KorbenC(T-4), hi
09:18:37
<KorbenC(T-4)> linda, Kevin L™ 🌵, hi
09:22:14
<Art (Working)> Can only guess as no one has heard from the park but the best guess we have is that there's a "Open these gates on X day" runbook
09:22:18
<Dave from B™> Morning Korben....almost time for liftoff
09:23:33
<KorbenC(T-4)> Hi Dave, I am getting there :) Going to try and clean the car out today, might not survive that :P
09:24:01
<Dave from B™> Yeah, Art, I was wondering the same thing and then got a phone call from the boss to shut er down.
09:27:17
<Kat> KorbenC(T-4), Morning Korben!
09:28:14
<KorbenC(T-4)> Kat, hey!

<KorbenC(T-4)> I think Beehive has a few hours :)
09:29:11
<Kat> KorbenC(T-4), agreed
09:32:14
<Kat> Think Aurum is going to sleep again?
09:33:02
<KorbenC(T-4)> We probably missed one overnight
09:33:40
<Kat> KorbenC(T-4), most likely
09:33:53
<linda> KorbenC(T-4), I've heard that before lol
09:34:28
<KorbenC(T-4)> linda, :P Shhh, don't tell it my secrets
09:34:30
<linda> both aurum and bee were very sneaky last night
09:35:13
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Both can come out of nothing
09:35:37
<linda> Kevin L™ 🌵, yep AND THEY DO
09:36:17

11:53:40

17:48:30
<linda> Kevin Depot, yes. have you tried it yet?
17:49:14
<Kevin Depot> Still in the box. Feeding chickens and catching some stuff in the depot.
17:50:07
<linda> Kevin Depot, that will be fun to watch
17:52:24
<Kevin Depot> I will have to figure something out to attract them.
17:54:17
<linda> Kevin Depot, this is hummingbirds right? one cup of hot water and 1/4 cup of sugar, I usually put in hot water from tap, stir to help dissolve and then one minute in the microwave
17:54:55
<Kevin Depot> Yes hummingbirds. I may put a plant out that they like.
18:04:33
<linda> Kevin Depot, i hang fuschias out but you may be too hot there for that
18:05:25
<Greg 🤠 on ca> Kevin, hummers love hibiscus
18:06:23
<Kevin Depot> They are hanging around my desert willows but they are all in the front yard and I don't want to hang it there. I think it would go home with someone else.
