We've had friends work at the north rim and enjoyed it very much. It's remote. I hear that Forever Resorts is a good company to work for as far as National Park concessionaires are concerned. We plan to bark up that tree if we get tired of Aramark.
ReplyDeleteHappy trails!
Ryan and Nicole,
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this was Forever Resorts or Xanterra?? Joining your blogs later today...interesting about your experiments with solar---I'm into the A/E sources as well!!
My fingers are crossed for you getting the Grand Canyon job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyra!!
ReplyDeleteWow you're a popular guy lately :)
ReplyDeleteWhatever job you end up with, here's hoping it's absolutely PERFECT for you!
Wait. What's that I hear? Echos from the Grand Canyon? And their from John! Woot! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the north rim, but as stated, it is pretty remote. You might want to check it out first before you commit. Could be right up your alley, or not!
ReplyDeleteCathie,
ReplyDeleteActually, "remote" is what I crave!! Away from the hustle and bustle and the noise and the crowds...just all that natural beauty waiting to be photographed!!
No. 5 for sure bro !!!!!!!! We like your style. Derek
