People want to come and play in the snow, but don’t want to
put chains on or go 25 miles per hour or leave even a car’s length between
their bumper and yours.
People want snow for their children to play in, but you had
better have cleared parking for their four cars (when only two are even
supposed to have parking spaces next to the cabin) even if they arrive in the
snow storm that put more than a foot of snow on the ground, plus the snow that
slid off the roofs!!
People bring their BBQs and set up a family party on the
side of the State Highway and walk with babes in arms across the road slowing
the 25 miles per hour to 5 miles per hour for fear of someone nonchalantly
walking out right in front of you!
People are kind and considerate of others even under the
above circumstances. Truly amazing how
helpful and giving some folks are under these long-prayed-for snowy
conditions!! Strangers helping others
put their chains on tighter so they don’t run askew. Homeowners letting babies use their bathroom since “none are
provided” by WHO?
If you are playing on the side of the Hiway, parked in the
unplowed lot of an “out of business”
business entity, who is the person / business that is supposed to
provide a Porta-Potty service? The USFS
maintains THREE heated bathrooms, nice new ones paid for by PG&E as part of
their FERC – Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - contract to use the water
from Pinecrest Lake to generate power.
The heated restrooms are just TWO miles away on plowed roads!! When people are told that tidbit of
information, they walk away - and not to go to Pinecrest to use the facilities
– muttering about the “inhospitality” of us Mountain Folk! I just saw a Rent-a-RV parked in the Inn
Parking Lot – now that is a great idea, bring your own Porta-Potty,
refrigerator, stove and a place for the baby to take a NAP!
When we are traveling we use the “facilities” of fast food
restaurants or gas stations but ALWAYS as customers. A cup of coffee each, a pastry, a batch of tator tots/French
fries, or even an ice cream or milk shake makes us a customer and is a small
price to pay for a clean “facility” when you need one!!
The business of business is STAYING in business!! EVEN
Disneyland is not FREE, so get a clue and plan accordingly!
