i really enjoy reading your posts, please keep going. I want to experience the things you talk about, but i am unable this year, so reading yours helps me wait for my turn. Which i am hopeful will be next summer!!
thanks for responding, i think the bear at the campfire would definetly scare me. I hadn't thought of bear bells either, i have hiked mostly in the canyons in the sw not as many bears there, i saw one in the grandcanyon but he was running the othe...
Well lets see, Bears like food and the smell of food and garbage set them to hunting.So, keep all food inside the rv or tow vehicle with the windows rolled up. Do not put ice chest outside or under your rig. Bears know what those are and they go f...
We are going to try a new life in our fifth wheel rv, but i have lived in Florida all of my life and know nothing about bears. i have heard and read some stories about bears getting in rv's for food. Does any one have any advise, anything about co...
Keep in touch and compare notes with others about seasonal jobs in great places for the mature and retired crowd.

- Hi Julie, I am having my check direct deposited...for me that is simpler. The ATM @ the Lake Hotel charges $1.50 per transaction, so I normally withdraw at least $80 when I need spending money. I charge things like gas on my credit card. Room & Board are automatically deducted from my check each week. I think I am netting about $170 per week (i.e. not much) but you need to expect low pay for this sort of situation....do it for the fun and adventure, not the money. Thanks for the nice comments about my Blogs...please keep reading them. Richard

- Julie, I work at the Bridge Bay Marina General Store. It is just like working at a convenience store in your hometown, however you are in the middle of a huge National Park. Just about everyone you meet is in a good mood because they are on vacation. It is important to be friendly and outgoing, and remain positive about your decision to do seasonal work. I work 5 days on, and 2 days off....I have done tons of neat things during my days off (hiking, fishing, boating, sightseeing, wildlife viewing, chuckwagon dinner, white water rafting....on and on). I can write more if you have other specific questions. Richard

- Hi there Julie, and welcome to Coolworks! Let me know if I can help you in any way as you begin your seasonal work adventure. My first season has been a blast....no regrets. Take a look at Yellowstone as a possible first stop, as it has been a great time for me. All the best.

- Julie, I have not yet applied to work at Zion--I am interested in applying for the 2010 term--I thought I would also apply at Bryce but after spending a few days this past June, I have decided that I would be much too isolated at Bryce and have illiminated it from consideration. I think I would be a better fit at Zion as at least there's a town nearby and I happen to know a couple in Springdale. My sister is working at Olympic National Park in Washington and although she is rooming with very young girls (my sister is 60), she is making the best of it and is actually quite happy at the Park. My sister's residence is in Olympia so at least she can go home every 5 days or so. She is working hard but has enjoyed her first adventure in the Park. My concern is the room mate issue--not sure I can be as forgiving as my sister.
Good luck and keep in touch.
