    This is awesome man such a throwback. I worked at the lodge kitchen 2015, and old faithful inn porter in 2016!!! I love this for you bro and hope you’re still out there living your life. I’ll be back next summer ideally in management

    D!!! Moose Anderson here! I put you, along with a BIG THANK YOU, in my latest movie! You hauled a mountain of gear to our room for us! My movie with you in it is my 2nd Yellowstone movie titled “ Off The Beaten Path.” I would be proud to call you my son. You’re a great young man! One of the best I ever had the pleasure to meet. I’m subscribed and watching you! You should have told me you had your own channel! My wife & I think of you often. We can’t tell you enough we appreciated you. Keep smiling and I hope to see you again, in Yellowstone, and soon! 😉

      @@dhoward004 It’s a small world. I just saw you raising the American flag in the new Old Faithful Inn video by Xanterra! I’m pretty sure it was you that answered the phone the day I called to book a Crow’s Nest tour. I didn’t realize it was so well known and I thought 2 month reservation for it would have been adequate. I was dead wrong. I cried on your shoulder and gave you my sob story about how I didn’t get to do it on my last trip, because it was closed for Covid. You plead my case to Hershey, and you guys squeezed me in to make my bucket list dream come true. You have no idea what it meant to me. I am forever in your debt. Obviously it meant a lot, as it as a looong scene in my movie. My dad gives me crap about my 30 minute rafter scene being boring! 🤣 I guess some people get it, and some of us do. I tried to show it, for all those not Blessed to be able to do it. I am fortunate to have the health, and funds, to make this trip. Not everyone has those. We stay in Old House rooms when we come, typically for 6 nights with all our hiking, video and camera gear. An old guy, it would kill me hauling all that inside. I thank you for so many reasons and will never forget you. You are great person. Your mom done good! You are Blessed. That is just a fantastic shot of you with the flag on the roof. So iconic! Great job buddy! Our paths WILL cross again! Moose Anderson 🫎

    Just got hired for this summer working in housekeeping. How do the checks look? And what days do you usually get paid?

    • @dhoward004
      @dhoward004  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      NaQuan Grant Pat day is every two weeks. I signed up for direct deposit but the first form of payment for everyone was Check regardless of if you had direct deposit or not. The pay varies but from my understanding to all the housekeepers that I talked to they got paid somewhere around $9 maybe a little bit more and also the tips vary depending on the time of the season. I usually got paid on a Wednesday.
