    It is a bug in the new software, It doesn't seem to recognize many punctuation marks.

    That reminds me of a book. In the preface, the author said he was going to put all the punctuation on one page, and the reader could place it where ever they wanted to

    Several years ago they extended the expiration date for my pass as a result of a closure so there had been a precedent which was what my expectation was based on.

    Was that possibly when Rose was running the show? I've always found her to be much more talented in customer service than most at Ginnie. Extending a pass by a few days costs the resort little to nothing and helps the customer feel much more appreciated.

    The most powerful minds are the ones that can be changed.

    It certainly is a nice thing and customer friendly approach if they offer such, however it should not set an expectation, as it would not be normal. As well as the customer gets hit by the force majeur the business is already been hit even worse..
    Apart from the money needed to put the place back in order imagine all the losses for the days they needed to be closed.
    I can totally understand a business policy that is not offering an extension on such basis..

    No offense meant to you as the following is a generalized statement.......But that's the problem with doing something "nice" for people. You do it once, and it becomes expected from then on with alot of people. Whereas others of my mindset look at something like that as a nice gesture and am appreciative, but don't ever expect it to happen again.

    Cave diving is a drop in the bucket to the ginnie revenue stream, camping forms the base of their revenue. If I recall correctly they did not do it just for me but for all cave diver annual pass holders. The expectation formation process is definitely different across individuals; we all have are cognitive biases.

    I wish they'd sell a few different levels of annual passes, with one including camping. Whatever the fee was, it might be worth it... as long as you have plenty of weekdays off.
