There is a Delay to the Start of Summer Camping

I understand why... but that doesn't change how odd it feels to not be preparing to head to Elkader.

It's not just the campground. Yesterday, I received an email that said if you are an employee who is working remotely, you should plan to continue to work remotely until May 15th.

It feels like there's a lot of pressure on May 15th to deliver

1. the end of working from home
2. the opening of the campground

For the record, we have a seasonal campsite. I sent a check to Deer Run in April for ~$1700 that paid the balance of our seasonal campsite. The total for the season is $2471.00. The campsite is open for 183 days (6 months) from April 15 - October 15. That's a per day rate of ‭13.50273224043716‬. On May 15th, it will be closed for 30 days. ‭13.50273224043716‬ x 30 =  $405.0819672131148‬ as credit towards our monthly electric bill, which is never more than $100, or towards the 2021 camping season. It's a decision to be made in the future as I think it's too early to make any sort of bet on the 2021 camping season - it's one of many uncertainties in life at this point. Thus, I'll be determining what our total for electricity was for the 2019 season and make an informed decision. I will also consider whether the $2471.00 seasonal rate is going to increase. In 2016, it was $2075; in 2017, it was $2161.40; in 2018, it was $2268.40, in 2019, it was $2471, so, roughly, it increases $98.80 a year so 2021 would be $‭2,569.8‬0 (estimated).

A lot to think about for sure!
