Hillary - been there two times - its not any more isolated than Yellowstone. I was offered a park service job there and plan to go possibly next year. In August it was very hot; in Sept. it was raining. The lodge is old but not unlike Old Faithful...

- Hey Christina, Sounds like you have been at this for awhile. I am 59 and laid off from my project managment consulting job. I just heard from friends here in Ohio about this travel and work in seasonal jobs thing and I am reall excitied to get to it. However I am a planner and would like to know more about how you get the job and the place you want to do an go to and then how do you prepare leaving your home. Is there a place to get info or a book I can read about this?

- Hi Christina, It's been a very long time ago that I was in NS and PEI. I was camping at the time, and I remember a camp ground right up the beach from the biggest beach in PEI. And the only place I remember very well in N.S. was a little town called spring hill. Wish I could be of more help. But, don't forget about the church suppers on Fri. nights on the island. Have fun....

I have been living in Sarasota, Fl. for two years now and am beginning to look into seasonal work. Maybe when you are here this winter we could get together and chat. Have a good summer.

Chris Valentine said… - hey, i hear you worked at Shenandoah for a short time, could you tell me what the dorms are like? And maybe your experiences, also what job did you have? Think this would be a good place for a first time 20 year old season worker?
