Had an interesting customer at The RIVERS RESORT yesterday. Young man with a wife and two small boys who was trying to "get away from it all" and asked that I move him to a cabin further from the highway!
The next question out of his mouth is "What is there to do around here?" Followed by "Why doesn't my cell phone work?" and "Where is the closest internet connection spot?" Now, you need to know that he was only staying with us for ONE DAY! I slapped my forehead and said, "I thought that you wanted to get away from it all?"
I showed him how to entertain his 3 year old boy by throwing small sticks - boats - in the river and watching them go over the falls and float downstream. I warned him about the squirrels who were harvesting the big green pine cones and showed him just how heavy they were when full of seeds! I showed him the eaten cones so he would know just how HARD those little boomer squirrels work to secure enough food for the long winter.
Somehow, I just don't think that he was impressed with the nature that we have all around us; he wanted to be entertained. OH, and I told him that thanks to the electric company doing repairs, we had no cable for the day so don't even try the TV!
