Summer Staff

Summer is upon and our summer staff has adjusted to their summer routine. They can plan on cleaning a few cabins, some bunk rooms, a few canoes and some dirty camping gear almost every day. Andrew and Rachel are working a little over 40 hours a week for us but still have lots of free time to fill. They both spend a lot of time on the Internet but they are slowly adjusting to life with slower and limited Internet access. It has been a struggle!

As soon as the growth of what passes for grass in the north country slowed down we found Andrew a job weed whipping at a neighbor's estate.  After weeks of training he now possesses a mean weed whip and his services are in demand. Tomorrow, he is helping a neighbor on a nearby island haul take-off shingles from an island cabin to a dumpster on the mainland and tonight he is working at the Trail Center restaurant.

Rachel has only been here a couple of weeks. Since she came late in the season she hasn't had much of a chance to meet our neighbors. Today Lin is taking her and two of the summer staff from another resort into Grand arais for grocery shopping. So far Rachel's main activity outside of working is to feed Andrew. She claims that he really likes bananas.

To fill their free time they are venturing into fields where no staff member as gone before. Andrew won't tell us what the project in this picture is suppose to end up being. However, it is obvious that Rachel know what it is suppose to be and has some serious doubts about it ever working.
