Before you die you should...

Work in a national park. I have worked in Yellowstone National Park for 4 seasons. I got to work with people from all over the world and U.S. It was fucking rad. We worked 5 days a week, lived in a dorm, smoked weed, ate mushrooms, climbed mountains, played disc golf at night between elk and buffalo, swam in hot springs, swam in rivers, swam in lakes, kissed beautiful foreign girls, Partied every night with great beer, great weed, great music and great people. Everyone should do this at least once before they die. Here is a small list of other things I would like to do before I die. 1)EVERYTHING. I'm not even kidding. I want to sail around the world. I would start Key West, then off to Cuba (Fuck the government), then through the Panama Canal, then the Galapagos, before heading down to the South Pacific, Vanuatu, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, then up through Indonesia, over to India and Sri Lanka, (Watching out for Pirates!) Through the Red Sea, Through Egypt, into the Mediterranean, then its time for Greece, Sicily,Spain and Morocco, then out to the Canary Islands, across the Atlantic to Bermuda, the Bahamas, then back to Key West. (bypassing Miami because its full of douche bags) 2)EVERYTHING ELSE. Who's coming with me?

Count me in.
As far as National Park work, the government doesn't want me working for them, apparently my employment history is undesirable.

You have to know when the jobs are posted and a connection is important as far as I know. Military background will do wonders.

I loved Yellowstone, I was only a visitor but Yellowstone is one of the best places I've been to.
As for things I want to do before I die, I only have 2 things and I could probably do them at the same time. 1. See Aurora Borealis 2. Visit Alaska
3. Achieve immorality

I know how to sail, i would need like 2 people. Never done ocean before though, should be awesome. You dont need to work for the government, i worked for these people Delaware North Just print your app and mail it in, they will almost certainly call you. (Work in the canyon if you can) They set you up with a dorm room and 3 meals a day, pay sucks, but who cares? They know your not there for the money, so they dont work you ass off.

I've seen them a few dozen times in the mid-west. Nothing like the descriptions my Alaskan friends have given me though, Alaska is a must see.

that sounds like a kick ass job, my friend
I'd love to be able to do something like that. I wonder if any of the local-ish parks would hire me..
I hope all of your plans and hopes for the future manifest beautifully for you!

Yup park jobs are fun and Alaska is great.
Now that I'm not up there I've actually seen billboards that said "Alaska - B4UDIE"
Anyway everyone plan a trip up together and I'll take you guys on the Alaskan vacation of a lifetime!
