Doug...
I'm fairly new to the message board..last year was my first year, so maybe this is known info to most people but....how in the heck did you guys get the coolest gig in the world? Running the Portal Store would be a dream come true. Do you guys own the place? Do you run it for the forest service? How does it work and how can I take over someday.
Your doing us all an invaluable service Doug. Thanks!

HOW did we get here?Started in about 1968 I was just like everyone else went up to climb the East Face and look around, came back over the years to go up with other people and in 1983 was waiting for someone to come down and saw the store for the first time, In 1987 I was working in area and the Store was For Sale and seems like it had been for sale some years but no one would buy it. We put an offer in and the rest is history, We are on a Lease from the Forest Service (permittee) for the land.
