Caretakerjobs.com

Living north in the summer and migrating south for the winter appeals to me; so too does a chance to return to my agricultural roots. Working seasonally on estates or ranches seems like a way to combine these two so I've taking an ad out with Caretakerjobs.com.

Some years ago, as a consultant, I had a job overseeing a large ranch in Colorado; ensuring, among other things, all ranch activities were in compliance with environmental regulations. Another of my responsibilities was to help the owners find a ranch manager couple; that's how I discovered Caretakerjobs.com (and similar websites). At the time, I would have loved to take the job myself but the timing wasn't right; the owners since sold the ranch and bought a vineyard in New Zealand.

So yesterday I subscribed to Caretakerjobs.com and posted an ad for seasonal estate, ranch, vineyard, etc. work. I'm not seeking full-time work and don't really need a salary; but this website might be a way to combine my desire to stay warm:) and get back to my roots! It may or may not lead to something but its all part of the journey.
