    I just applied for about 15 seasonal jobs at Yosemite National park. I really hope I get one of them.
    Seeing this video really helped me 💚‼️🤟🏽🤘🏽🌎

    In 2021 for the talent show I read a poem called “the lies of Yellowstone” and it talked about the first three - I’m not drinking tonight, I’m never coming back and I love you. So seeing that frame at the end made me laugh

    I just applied with Delaware North Careers to be a server position with Yellowstone general stores. I have an RV I’ll be living in full time with my cat and bird and I can’t find anything on what the RV sites look like out there for employees 😭😭 very excited though!

      Oooh, good luck!! So excited for you! I think employees just park their RVs in one of the nearby campsites if I recall correctly. The closest one to where I worked was Bridge Bay. Here's a link to some pics: www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/lodgings/camping/bridge-bay-campground/

      @@laurenericks0n ugh I hope so! Those sites look so pretty! I feel so fortunate that I won’t have to deal with the dormitories rules and lack of space. I’m a little sad that it’s for such short periods of time to work with them.

      @timberbee It's definitely intimidating but if you can make it through the first 2-3 weeks, it definitely gets easier! Also download all your music playlists to your phone before you get there bc there's no internet lol 😅

    Wow, thank you for your honest not sugar coated review of working in the National Park. Sounds brutal and I’m sure low pay while the National Park System makes oodles of profits. Where I work the owner has a different Mercedes’ for every work day but we haven’t gotten a raise in 2 years 😩

      I used Verizon and, at the time, I heard that they were the best provider. I would maybe take a look at their coverage map for 4G and 5G to be sure.

    IDK why people leave the Grand Canyon to go work Yellowstone every year. You have none of these issues there...there's internet, a town right outside the canyon and you're only an hour from Flagstaff.
