Betsy or I checked in every one of them. That was an inbound count and they all had to leave, so double that amount for actual traffic through the gate since 10/06. We are a day time 6-6 gate mostly Mon thru Sat, which adds to the fun. We don't really think we are that busy, is why when I started doing the paper work today, I was surprised.

Thank you
A minor policy violation, no doubt, none the less, it provides the many that are following this thread, with invaluable insight about the actual functioning of the gates, that most here follow the thread to learn.
Thanks to the moderator team, and thanks to the posters. We have enjoyed even the idle personal chit chat.

Well, personally I believe the get together is on topic. We discuss mostly on gate activities, but finding things to keep us occupied in the down time is part of it. Read my blog at www.workampingstories.blogspot.com. My last post is titled Sanity and deals with this issue.
As always, I defer to the moderator and will respect his/her wishes.

Well I think the get together is in line with the gate jobs, just wish we were a little closer so I could attend. It lets other people monitoring this gate guards topic that there is more than the boring gate jobs, sorry.
On another note how many of us got rain last night. We had a down pour at midnight that lasted about 2 minutes then no more rain.

Same thing here, only it was around 2:30. One small thunderstorm and that was it, so very little standing water this morning. Not the gooey mess we normally have with a rain storm.

The weather guesser said around a 1/4 inch. Hmmm-we have 4-6 inches of standing water around the motorhome and we had at least two bands go through during the night. They each lasted well over 30 minutes with howling wind, lightning and a downpour.
