outdoor ed


so maybe you ask what's next in life for this fella. well as i posted before, i really loved teaching outdoor education. so, i've been in contact with a privately owned camp in colorado where i plan to teach outdoor ed. this spring. i have a phone interview with them on thursday and if everything goes well i'll be starting in mid march. i'm excited. it gives me a good reason not to be in the midwest in the spring when that one plant - whatever it is - pollinates and almost kills me every year.

the outdoor ed. gig will last me 2ish months and then... who really knows?? actually, i've applied for over 25 jobs with the National Parks service and National Forest service. mostly i applied to be a wild land forest fire fighter, but i also applied for trail maintenance positions. i applied for places like yosemite NP, glacier NP, pretty much anything in the northern rocky mountains, and even alaska. i guess its now a waiting game to see what i'm accepted for. i don't really have any experience doing any of that stuff, but hey it's worth a shot to do something wild and new, right?

in the mean time, it snowed here last week and it was quite beautiful! the picture to the right and the one below are a snippet of my work, but check http://www.flickr.com/photos/aclark_photography/ for more of the shots i took of the winter wonderland.
