It got incredibly busy at Big South Fork this week, and I really got blindsided by it! I knew visitation was going to pick up as the fall colors started to show, but it's been so very quiet up til now that I wasn't ready for it.
Thursday I was staffing the visitor center by myself (usually we have at least two people) and it got very busy. Part of that was that it was just me - if I was talking to someone at the desk and the phone rang, I had to let it ring - but there was very little down time during the day. I called over to the campground and found out that it was completely booked for the weekend! I'm sure it's the same for next weekend, too - everyone plans to come out starting in the middle of October. Over the weekend it was the same - busy, busy, busy, with very little time in between the people that came in, and we needed two and sometimes three people out front most of the time! It finally wound down on Sunday afternoon, when everyone was going home, but I'm sure it's only going to get busier from here.
It's strange, because other places I've worked start to die down once the summer is over - but here, fall is a big season, so it's getting as busy as I've ever seen it, just before I'm getting ready to leave!
