FIrst days

After six days and 1700 miles I made it to Mammoth Lakes safe and sound. With stops in Big Sky, West Yellowstone, MT and Reno, NV and a few places in between. I have some pictures from the trip that I will be putting up shortly when I get them.

Now that I am back in Mammoth Lakes, I will say that my first day back was a good day of catching up and seeing who’s around and what happened during the summer. In short all I can say among the people I knew the summer was a season of weddings. I believe there was something like four weddings and couple of other engagements thrown in. During the summer it is Needless to say it was busy at the alter. Now it’s all about the snow.

Which brings me to reflecting about the first day in employee housing. Last year my first day in employee housing was quite an eye opener.

25 empty beer cans, including four in the bath room.

The beginnings of a raging party.

One of the guys hooking up with his girlfriend that night, who were so into each other they forget the fact that was now somebody else now staying in the same room with him.

And that doesn’t count the overflowing trashcans.

Needless to say, the next day I moved out of there the next to a much better place and to roommates from around the world.


This year.

A clean living space.

A bunch of books about the vegan diet and lifestyle on the kitchen counter.

Now I’m living with the RA for the building, who is also one of the bus drivers for the mountain.

And for the other two roommates that have arrived so far. One is working at June Mtn with me and the other is a bus driver I knew from last year and Denali.

It’s a small world.

It’s been a good start, now it’s time to see what shape June Mtn. is in.
