Credit where credit is due
I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with a representative from Xanterra - the company who runs the lodging at the National Parks
Yellowstone National Park Lodges
he explained the system they are trying to run under covid restrictions and explained why I had not been contacted earlier in February
it is not the way I would have planned the procedure but it does make sense
______________________
If I choose to book another lodge in the park and that is where we end up staying, they will give me the rate that I would have spent for our original reservation
he promised to try to help me if he can find lodging in the Old Faithful area if possible
[ the reason I need lodging there is that we have a tour leaving from there at 6:15 AM the day after we arrive and travel while dark in the park is highly discouraged because of animal movement ]
so now we wait to see, along with many others in the same fix, what happens as the year progresses
