Mother Nature Can Be Tough








Yesterday afternoon Mother Nature was wreaking havoc on us. We had a heavy thunderstorm with big winds and hail. The crew prepping for today's opening had to bail for a few hours. The winds put two trees on the powerline downvalley and we were without power for 19 hours. Finally, power came back on about 11:30 this morning. We still opened on time using auxillary power. As long as you didn't mind using the restroom by candlelight, the inconvenience wasn't too bad. Judging by the smiles on people's faces, it was still a pretty fun day.
