Finally! My Yellow Star! Here's my poll: Should I work in Yellowstone?

[joeybee12]

Meaning, for this summer. Got offered a job--it's office work basically. Four months. Don't have the details of the contract yet--money isn't the issue--I've just always wanted to do this, and this seems to be the right time. Ask me anything, or just vote in my poll!:hi:

[wryter2000]

1. I should have checked other...

"You have to ask??!!"

Congrats on the star! :bounce:

[joeybee12]

4. Thanks--took them two weeks! That's what happens when you donate

by check!

2. can you record some geological specs for me?

i want to try to gauge on a short term basis the activity of the area

[joeybee12]

5. Such as...I'm not geologicallly inclined...is it beyond my grasp?

Seriously, do i need any specific knowledge?

[7th_Sephiroth]

8. yeah

its a large, volcanically active area

[joeybee12]

13. That I knew...any particular area you're interested in?

[7th_Sephiroth]

17. just want to know

the rate of activity over 4 months

[joeybee12]

21. Well, I can let you know when/if some of the inactive ones go off!

There are a few that have become dormant--maybe they'll welcome my arrival with a good blast!

3. No brainer. Of course you should.

[joeybee12]

6. Yeah, I've pretty much made up my mind to...I just needed an excuse

to create a poll!

[FrankBooth]

7. That's where my parents met !

they were both working there in the summer of 1963 - they got married 6 weeks later and are still together. Go for it!

[joeybee12]

9. Aw! Were they college kids at the time?

Or around that age?

[FrankBooth]

10. Yep

mom was 19, pops was 24.

[joeybee12]

11. Have they been back since?

[FrankBooth]

14. They dragged us kids down there in '75

We had a blast. I don't think they've been back since then though.

[joeybee12]

16. First time I got there was 1989--wish I had made it a few years earlier

before the fire--it's still incredible, but I would have like to have seen it before that.

[Freebird12004]

12. not just yes - but Hell Yes !

go for it! fresh air and trees! But you'll learn to dislike tourist

[joeybee12]

15. The good thing it's office work--not dealing with the guests--that would

get old pretty quick--any kind of service job at the peak of tourist season would be grueling!

[Freebird12004]

18. just *driving in and out* will get to ya too

:grr:

[joeybee12]

22. Been there a few times--only once in July, and that was nuts...

...traffic jams and always an accident somewhere!

[Freebird12004]

26. as you said - you will be inside

go for it ... work someplace where you enjoy being there!

[4_Legs_Good]

19. ARE YOU F*CKING CRAZY???? YES YES YES YES YES

For goodness sake YES, do it DO IT

DO IT NOW!!!

Don't pass up an opportunity like this. If you enjoy nature I can't imagine anything cooler.

DO IIIIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!

[joeybee12]

23. Um, is that a "yes"? You weren't real clear on your answer!

;-)

[donheld]

20. If i had a chance i'd do it in a heartbeat

You'll have a wonderful time.

[yellowdogintexas]

24. after my two days up there, an unqualified yes is my answer

where will you live? Park Housing? That would really be cool.
At Mammoth Cave the seasonals have housing options.

You will have the advantage of the long summer days, it will be very late when it gets dark, so after work you can bum around the park, take photos, go down to Teton etc etc etc ..


fabulous opportunity!!!!!

[joeybee12]

25. Park housing--Canyon Village

Yeah, the late nights will be great!
