Has anyone heard if they have found a new caretaker for the Johnson Creek Airstrip this summer?

I have seen the recent advertisements for "Best summer job in the world"

I am actually thinking about doing it if I did not have the following minor issues;

1.) Mortgage
2.) Insurance
3.) Groceries
4.) Fuel
5.) The whole regular job thing...
6.) Etc.etc.......

I guy can dream......right!

If it was not for some of those issues I would be in

I've thought the same thing. Then I see the work they do and some of the people they have to deal with and I think twice. I sure hope they can find a good couple that will want to stick around for a while. Seems like we've been burning through them recently. Maybe we can get Paul and Beverly to reconsider!

I'll second the Paul and Beverly comment.
I doubt they would do it, but it was great having them there.
They definitely "Raised the Bar" for future Caretakers.

If I'm in good shape after I retire. I sure would like to have a stab at that job. I'd be in heaven (except cleaning the honey buckets and showers ).

Heck, I would love to go up on the weekends or during the week when I'm not working and help out or volunteer.

OK- I am not sure what will happen but I did apply for this position begining the summer of 2013.

It has taken me 3 months to come to terms w/ this idea but I will be ready next year. We will just have to see what happens Yes- I have had about enough of the corporate world

It is still a long ways out lots could change between now and then.

Best wishes DBI! With any luck I can make the same post in about 30 years.

I vote for Greg and Becky Swingle. All he needs is internet.

Darn, I just got notified by the state of Idaho they hired someone yesterday. A day late and a dollar short
