Jobs for a Climber in the Gorge...

Post by DonnyP »

Does anyone have any good ideas of ways to make money while spending a few months at The Red? I have plans to spend the Fall in the gorge, and while the climbing bum lifestyle is a modest one, I will be needing some income. Working at Miguel's is an obvious avenue to consider, but does anyone know of any other good options or have work that needs to be done and for which they would be willing to pay someone? I will be coming down to KY at the beginning of August and staying as long as the weather is nice. I know August and a lot of September will be quite hot, so I'm willing to work during those times more than I will be climbing. Any information you can offer is appreciated.

Thanks,
Donny

I hear there is a market for used catalytic converters, or you could always try a lemonade stand at sore heel, or if you have a 4x4, transport people for a buck a head until it gets fixed.

If you've got a good meth recipe, I'm sure you could come up with customers.


To be quite helpful. I think the median income in Lee county is around $16k. Unemployment is around 30%. If you go and get your drivers license changed to Lee, Powell or Wolf county, They will give a EBT card to a white person.(There are very few "people of color" in these counties because its so poor that the minorities wont live there)
If you give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute. If you set him on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
