I would like to hear from anyone out there who is workamping solo rather than as a couple. I have tried to read about some of the jobs that are out there, particularly with COE. (I'm a retired COE civilian employee, btw.) It seems that many if not most of the positions want a couple to be camp hosts, with some maintenance, i.e., grass mowing, repairs, etc. I would prefer something other than hosting, say working at a visitor center, entrance gate, etc. I excel at anything in an office, but my strong suit is not answering dumb questions or dealing with unruly people. Wouldn't mind the outdoor stuff except if it's too strenuous for me. Also, at 67, I'm trying to sell my house and leave the grass cutting behind. I'm sure there are a lot of jobs I could do and would like, but I'd like to hear what others find once they get out there. Thanks. gypsy

Gypsy,
Being from NC, you surely know about the Federal Programs in the Nantahala Forrest and others. There are always openings in the visitors centers and for interpretive tour guides. Sounds right up your alley!
You can obtain a list of openings with dates and skills required. They even include working at fish hatcheries and other programs with the National Park Systems.
