It's that time of year again when MATC starts to find folks wanting to work as caretakers/ridgerunners on the 267 mile section of trail that MATC looks after. Anyone interested can find out more information on matc.org. I'm on the hiring committee and I look for those with extensive AT hiking experience as well as experience in dealing with the public. Guides, wait staff, teachers, retail clerks and the like are perfect. Basically the job focuses on imparting LNT principles to those using the AT.
