Seasonal Work Available

This is the fourth summer I'll be cooking at a National Park.

I just got my employement package in the mail, Yellowstone National Park, seriously one of the most interesting places in America.

If you've got the time or inclination, run over to http://www.coolworks.com
and check out all the seasonal and full time oportunities for adventurers. There is a wealth of information, blogs, personal pages, tons of photos from first timers and addicts like myself.

There's something about the wild life hanging out round the dorms, the spotted fawns skipping along side mom, the bison en mass walking through the cabins for rent, the elk wandering down the trail that does something for me. Lake Yellowstone is my all time favorite location in the park. This year I'll be flying and that will make it a little different.
If you want cell service, you can hike up Elephant Mountain, to the very top, and climb a tree. I'm told it might fade in and out, but worth trying.
Another option is to walk to Fishing Bridge. Once the trail is open because the bears have quit eating carrion along the shore, its only a little more than a mile. Great ice cream cones, too.

There are regular phones, but who uses them anymore?

Will be posting photos all summer.

Women Who Run with The Wolves In Cool Places

I'll be working and playing in the Grand Tetons this year.
I got an awesome job working at Jackson Lake Lodge, cooking, baking, and whatever else they need.
I found this gig at CoolWorks.com, met friends, and connected with a potential room mate.I look forward to whatever adventures come my way.

I wrote this blog post there:

Preparing for the season, we find ourselves packing up. Not stuff, I mean kindred spirits.

We know the sound of our pack when we hear it, listening for that certain sound, a recognizable wildness and independence.

I'd rather take some chances living on the edge, running wild in cool places than den up safely in a cage while my paws turn grey.

We've learned to watch for bait, usually there's a trap hidden under it.

Wolves may wander alone, but they have the most fun in their pack, accomplishing more, bringing down big game.
A word to the wise, if the howl doesn't sound right, give it a wide berth. The sun is shinning, the rain is refreshing, we den where we will.

Some call us wild. Others call us free.
