If you have read Tony Hillerman you know the legends and folktales about immortal beings living in the Sacred Mountains that surround the Dine'tah (Navajo reservation). Those same mountains protected the parched desert that is now the Dine'tah when the apocalypse drowned most of the world with the “Big Water.” And, after the Energy Wars there wasn't enough fuel to maintain the lifestyle we enjoy now. The world lay fallow and empty without an apology from anyone. These are dystopian tales.

"We are jam packed with private rentals this weekend (July 30-31) so here are some notes to know!
"Our morning rentals will go until 1:00 p.m. Therefore, our doors will open slightly after 1:00 today and tomorrow to make sure all of the rental guests are able to head out.
"Our evening rentals were bumped up to 7:00-9:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday due to our low attendance numbers in the evenings the past week. Today and tomorrow the pool will close at 6:45 p.m. to allow time to clean up between our daily swim and rental times.
"We hope to see you and thank you for understanding these small changes for the weekend!"
