Re: Arch Rock Construction

How is the construction going on? They should be near completion. I spent a lot of time in that old booth.

u talking about hwy 140 entrance?

Yes. They're getting a new booth. Hopefully the air conditioning will work better than the old one. That's the hottest spot in the park. It gets over 110 degrees in that booth during the summer.

That'd explain the cranky rangers.

No, there's other explanations for that. They try their best to be professional. If only the visitors would do the same.

In my experience, the rangers have been uniformly professional, in spite of the wretched behavior of some visitors.
Taking pizza bribes, however...

My comment was meant as humor.

They don't do that when the booth is at 110 F. Ice cream maybe...

That's been done, and greatly appreciated.

You can't feed the bears.... but you can feed the rangers.

They do try hard. Most love the job and don't mind the heat or the occasional difficult visitor. I was able to disarm a few and had them smiling when they left.

when i went through there about 3 weeks ago, it was way far from being completed! in fact, the early afternoon i went there (on a weekday)., no work was being done.

They're probably waiting for a busy weekend to continue the work.
