the beauty of the Black Hills is what keeps me returning. Then to stay the whole summer and take ones time to really get to look at this area is supreme. Take a bag lunch head out to one of the many back roads and find a great site to just sit and...

Profile Information

Hometown:: Weston, OH

About Me:: I have come to the realization that the typical American dream of 2.5 kids a house with a white picket fence and the dog does not exist for me. Instead, I have accepted the fact that for the most part I am going to be alone and transient in this world. There is too much to see, too much to do and such little time on this Earth to possibly do it all. But, Hell there is no harm in trying is there! So, I am going to work my way around this world and enjoy my love of people, food, drink, writing and hope that I can find a niche that I can fit myself into and be happy.

Last Seasonal Job:: Mountain Sky Guest Ranch

Favorite Seasonal Job:: Coldfoot Camp

Where have you lived and worked?: Ohio, Alaska, Montana, Minnesota and Soon to be Rio Blanco Ranch Colorado!

Dream Job:: To own and run a back country lodge or ranch

Day 2
Good Morning South Dakota! The greatest thing about camping is waking up with the sun. Well, at least I wake up with the sun. Angie still enjoys sleeping in as late as I allow her to. The KOA was a welcoming sight in the morning. The "K"ampground was teeming with National Park employees enjoying a preview day of the grounds and also taking advantage of pancakes, sausage biscuits w/gravy and bacon from the kitchen. We, however, only opted for coffee that morning. We bro… Continue

Work in New Zealand this winter!

This winter I will be attempting to do something that I am sure a lot of you here on CoolWorks have either thought about doing yourself; or have already done but wished you would have had some help.
Some people here thought it would be a great idea to share with you some of the information that I have gathered to try and make it easier for the rest of you. What a fantastic idea!

As my plan goes now I am planning to be there from Mid-Oct/ April. I do not have firm dates but this should not deter… Continue

National Park Cross Western Tour...Help Me!

I am starting out at Rio Blanco Ranch on June 1 +/- 2 days. So my girl friend and I, or rather me really decided that it was necessary to take a little bit of time to reach our destination. In an attempt to please me, distract me or simply just not have to do it herself she leaves me with the sole responsibility of planning the trip. Really? Does she have any idea what she is getting herself into? Quickly I pull out my National Park Passport book. There are a lot of stamps I need between here an… Continue

I'll keep plugging away on the apps and I'm sure I'll find something good. Good luck to you on your ranch adventure. I'm looking forward to hearing stories and seeing photos. Likely see you on chat soon enough :)

At 10:08am on April 24, 2009, Mark Prince said…: Thanks for the in sight Kevin. I think it will be a good season there. Ill be the bar manager as well. Sounds like a small staff there which is fine and haven't met a chef yet that's terribly eazy to get along with either. From your posts looks like you are heading to coldfoot camps. I considered that as well did a summer in Skagway awhile back. Hey in addition to the salary did cash tips amount to much? Anyhow thanks again and really have a great summer Delete Comment
