4:00 p.m. Nice room here at the Maswick Lodge! The hassle-free experience continues, bags are already in our room. The compound is laid out like a college campus with 2-story dorms, and we got the dorm way at the end. Our room was right above the one with the ceaselessly screaming foreign family. Fortunately the only time we heard them was while passing by their door, a credit to the thick walls and solid construction of the place. Unlike typical rooms, this one had a sloped ceiling that gave it an extra-spacious look. A Southwestern motif in colors, with all the usual modern conveniences. While I crashed in bed to capitalize on the time zone effect (mid-afternoon NBA games!), Dena headed out to enjoy the views at dusk. She got to see a variety of deer and elk that came out of the evening shadows, and also got to feel firsthand the effect of local temperature plunge that comes with 40 m.p.h. winds.
8:00 The Maswick is well known in these touristy parts for its cafeteria, and we took advantage. A nice spread, and we hung out leisurely until about 9:00. Like most architecture we've seen, the layout is wide open and the carpeting creates a quiet enough atmosphere for relaxing conversation, at least at this later hour.
