About Me:

I'm 22. I'm a junior at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR and am studying in Siena, Italy until May. I love the outdoors. I love to travel. I love adventure. It's what life's about...

Last Seasonal Job:

Tour Sales Representative at Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge in Cooper Landing, Alaska

Where have you lived and worked?

I built a bridge in the Grand Tetons and worked on a trail crew in Ouachita NF with the SCA, I worked at the Grand Canyon, been a boat instructor at Lake Powell, worked several seasons at Crater Lake NP on the boat crew (love it!!!), and worked at a lodge in Cooper Landing, Alaska (beautiful) this last summer.

Dream Job:

Any job that allows me to really experience a place.

At 8:47pm on April 10, 2008, Kristen said…: Yeeeeaaahh!!! Yay us! I know, I've been over there maybe like 5 years ago. I've never been able to get the place out of my head. Then I met someone at a boutique I work at that works for princess in skagway for 6 mos. After hearing all of her stories I pretty much decided I had to do it. What are you going to be doing at the KPL?

Unfortuantely, we had to cancel the 3/12-16 Vegas trip because Sheila and I both came down with pretty bad colds. We'll try again in April. The Schnaze surgery is elective to correct a deviated septum; it'll normalize my breathing and occurs on the March 24th.

Certainly relay my best to Tess and Jake when you communicate with them. I can still visualize you three taking off on the hotwired golfcart! Is Tess still in Flagstaff? Pleas tell her that I'll be at Lake Powell this summer. What's Jake up to? No doubt you'll see him in Alaska, I assume? I think 2005 was the best summer I had at CLNP!

I assume you heard Capt. Gene died about a year ago from lung cancer? I kinda miss the old grouch. I think it was Gene who kept things together at Crater Lake and thats why it all fell apart last year.

Nothing from Darrah in Wyoming yet.

All for now.

I don't have plane tickets yet either, Princess is gonna arrange all of the flight details cause they get good discounts. It looks like you have a lot more seasonal work experience than I and you've been to AK, so do you have any suggestions on what all I should bring with me? Good Luck with the finals!!!

At 3:46pm on March 9, 2008, Breaze said…: Nice! I'm gonna be working at the Kenai Princess lodge as well as a server in the restaurant. I can't wait to get up there! I fly out May 9th, maybe we'll be on the same flight? I love this website, it would be amazing to be able to make some friends/acquiantences before I even get there. Are you gonna be staying in the employee housing? Well I would love to chat some more and share some info on our new homes!!!

Yep, I'm going to run tour boats from Wahweap for the summer. We went there in the winter of 2006 so I am somewhat familiar with the area. Sheila and I are going to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon March 12-17 and might stop by there again. I anticipate bumping into some of the Crater Lake employees at South Rim. Crater Lake wanted me to work there again as boat manager, but I know a "shit filled twinkie" when I see one, so I politely declined. Last summer was a mess. The stories that I heard and the infighting and whining during the 7 weeks I was there kinda tainted the experience. Hopefully It'll be a better crew this year.

Lets get together for coffee sometime after I get back from Vegas/Grand Canyon and we'll swap Crater Lake stories. Maybe we can piece togerther the entire summer of 2007, before Capt. Joe and after Mauria.
I know a good spot near Lewis and Clark for coffee, so give me a call when I get back in town..
I go in for nose sugery on March 24th so don't be surprised if I look like I've been in a bar brawl.

Say Hi to Jake for me if you talk to him.
