We go to a National Park in MO every October and rent a cabin on the bluffs over Big Spring (America's largest spring - once thought to be that largest in the Western Hemisphere but a bigger one was found in Brazil)
The Repubs government shutdown broke our streak because the park was closed.
I called yesterday to reserve a cabin for this year. It is closed again. This time for renovations. They're running new electric, plumbing, reroofing, tuckpointing and rebuilding retaining walls. The restaurant will reopen in late 2017 and cabins won't be ready till 2018 or 2019. Whatever will we do for our October trip?

The cabins are awesome stone, timber and log construction with huge stone fireplaces built by the CCC during the WPA period in the 1930s. Over the years we've stayed in all the cabins.



True that they are bottom feeders - so there is that.

WISH ME LUCK!!!! the circled one is the second egg my baby girl ever laid. The others are bought BBS Ameraucana eggs that I got from a breeder. Thank you guys for the advice about calibrating the thermometer. It tested THREE and this is the only one that was accurate in the house. That works out well because the digital thermometer I was going to used died moments after I decided not to use it LOL. I did the freezing point test and this one is spot on. The glass marbles are working very well as heat sinks. Every time I check the temp it is exactly the same, day or night.

That looks like a big egg for her second. Good luck.
