North. Good.






3800 miles later (6000+ K) I am in Anchorage. Stunning drive, stunning views and stunningly long drive. Well worth it, but am cooked right now.

I stopped by the office to see what was happening. I am stoked - what a great group, and I will be busy busy, but am very much looking forward to the next 6 weeks here!

Welcome to Big Bear

School is done. The job search is awful. After a year of not working, my savings are hurting. Somehow getting more education has made me less employable. Lucky for me, my aunt Maryanne has volunteered to let me stay in her cabin in Big Bear, CA.

!!Maryanne Rules!!

Big Bear is not a bad place to be unemployed and looking for work. I have landed a short term gig with a group that works on the Yukon River. They employ renewable energy technicians, working to get communities away from using diesel generators to create all their electricity. I'll be training folks in remote communities and doing some installations with scheduled time in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Anaktuvuk Pass. I hit the road soon. I am very excited and I know this trip will be amazing. I'm also kinda fried from the endless dead ends in the job search. Hopefully the next step will present itself along the way...



These people hired me!!
