Awesome.
Hey, that was posted last year. I'm heading to New Mexico this year.
Cheers,
Timothy
Hey! Saw that you'll be in working in Ketchikan this summer and that you might be from Chicago? Me too! Who are you working for up there and what's your position?
Nah, I'm not heading there this summer. I hope everything goes well for you.
Hey I'm headed to Ketchikan for the same job in about 2 weeks, maybe I'll see you at work?

Ray-Ray said… - I read a post by you about a debate whether you should be a canopy guide or something else... I was wondering how you got started as a guide? Do you have special training, or did you get an 'in' with the right company? It's something I'd like to try, and I'd appreciate it if you could provide me with a suggestion or two. Thanks.

I'm leaving on Tuesday- can't wait. Just be glad you won't end up having to pay Canadian gas prices!

- Hey, I got a job working for Kenai Fjord Tours out of Seward! I'll be a deckhand, and I might end up hanging out in Anchorage through the fall term to work and save up for the AT next spring.
Where do things stand for you? , Are you still thinking of the AT for next spring?

- thats a bit too early for me, I think I'm just gonna end up flying up there. I'd rather drive, but with expenses of driving it looks like it'll be cheaper to fly up there. i'm interested in the canopy adventures place. I thought about applying there, but ended up getting a job at a fishing lodge instead. lemme know how it goes.

- hey I read on the ride board you were seeing if anyone wanted to go to Alaska. I'm trying to get to anchorage and I read in another post you might have some more people coming with who would continue on to Denali. Anyways just wondering when you plan to arrive in Alaska?

- Well, I applied for a job at a lodge near Denali and one working for Princess Tours on the train... I don't think either will work out since I can't get there till June, though! I am meeting with a fisherman about getting a job in Bristol Bay later this week, which I've heard is a fairly dangerous area, so we'll see how that goes... I wouldn't want to work in a cannery unless I had to, so I'm trying to get a job out on a boat actually catching fish (hopefully salmon or maybe halibut).
Guiding does sound really neat, though- I'll check that out. And ziplining sounds like even more fun! Do you have to be trained or certified for that kind of job? Thank you!
Sorry, I'm really bad at keeping up with this website, haha.

- I'll be based in Sitka for most of the summer. I'll spend a few days a month in KTN.
KTN is a fun place. I recommend hiking up Deer Mountain with trash bags and sledding. The Artic Bar is a fun time. Its really laid back. You can hang your jacket on a hook by the door and walk away without worrying. Going out to eat is expensive and groceries are too. So take any chance you get to go on other operators tours at a discount or as a comp. Its a cheap way to do something fun and break up the week. The rec center is the cheapest gym no free weights though. They have classes which are a great way to meet active people. There is also a running club and a few 5ks throughout the summer. The library has a good selection of books and movies. A good raincoat and waterproof shoes are vital. Let me know if you have any other questions I"ll try to respond faster next time.

- About Me:
- I once took a 22 hour train ride in 110 degree weather to southern India because someone told me they have every type of fruit known to man there. At the time, I really felt like eating some mangoes.
With that said, I wanted to hike the AT this year, but I didn't have enough money for the $1.50-2.00 per mile thru-hike. I was told that Alaska was a good place to make money and enjoy the outdoors. So now I'm heading there in a few months to do just that.
I enjoy traveling and meeting people. I like to eat spicy food in countries where I don't speak the same language. It's always fun to get those little mystery things I know I didn't order, but somehow ended up on my plate. I love finding anything for free that I can salvage and later use.
- Dream Job:
- A guide job were I get to travel the world and talk to people.
