Not sure if this is the forum's idea of a PM, but it seems a little lacking in the P department. If it is not, please send me one, or let me know how to send one. I would be very interested in any insight you might have.
Kelly - A buddy in another survey firm may still be looking for surveyors to work in Stehekin. May not be advantageous for you (with your 2 new babies) as you'd be gone for maybe 2 weeks at a stretch. But if you're interested I'd suggest you call Jeff McManus at Bush Roed & Hitchings, 206-323-4144. BRH is a great firm to work for and Jeff is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Just a thought.
