Keith Larson said… - Congrats on the Furnace Creek job. Please keep us updated. I'm very happy with my winter gig. Otherwise the place would be one of the first on my winter list.

Brandy Dunn said… - Jackie, I didn't take the job at Furnace Creek. So I know they are still looking for someone at the front desk, bell man, reservations, housekeeping, and warehouse. I recommend you call HR directly and talk to Steve. Tell him you are very interested. I must tell you though they only pay $8,00 which is CA minimum wage. Don't mention my name. It may only hurt your chances. If you want you can call me at 865-622-1075. Please let me know what happens. GOOD LUCK!

Joan Meyer said… - Several people had satellite TV hooked up at Canyon. Some said it was difficult getting a signal between the trees, others said no problem. We didn't have TV so I couldn't verify. (I did a lot of reading) We did have a land line phone and signed up with a local internet service. The cell phone worked if you stood by the door, facing east, right hand in the air, with your foot in a piece of metal....you get the idea. I was told "they" were working on getting another tower for better reception so maybe.

- The last year I was there 2004, we had a construction crew staying in the upper circle with us. They were rebuilding the road from Canyon to Tower. The RV camp was extended for the extra people so a lot changed. I don't know how it is this year. Maybe somebody can clue us in. DNC has two stores at Canyon 1 is a small camp store and the other is a big general store with a diner (50's)style, and merchandise. They had a book section, jewelry, clothing, food, and souveniers. The shifts varied, some were split into 4 morning & 4 night because the store could be really busy at those times. Its in walking distance from the RV camp via a path through the woods. You have to be careful about not leaving stuff outside to attract bears, bring mosquito repellant, and if its very dry they will have fire restrictions -outside grilling would then be by propane. I hope you will like it as much as I did.

Robyn said… - Hi Jackie, I look forward to meeting you at Canyon in May. It is so nice to be in contact with people before we arrive there. I'll be staying in the dorms.

DPar said… - Cool. I'm looking forward to working with you. It's nice to meet someone I'm going to be working with before I get out there. I'm not a huge fisherman, but I plan on doing a ton of hiking and mountain biking. I'm hoping to stay on the road for a little while as well. Any ideas for winter?

Sequoia said… - Yes they have spots for RV's I believe $30 a week, unless you get a manager position and negotiate a free spot.
