Hi Gale,
Have you ever heard of the Anna Pigeon
series by Nevada Barr? She writes about a lady Park Ranger in a bunch of
remote locations like this. You might enjoy the series!

Sitka
Alaska, worked for the Forest
Service. This was when we were in town. When we were out in the field, they
paid us to camp in the wilderness. All we did was hike around surveying
possible archaeological sites in the way of logging operations. Walking through
the Alaskan wilderness, carrying guns in case of bears, watching eagles, seals,
wildlife. Then after work, we could fish, or whatever we wanted to. They flew
us to isolated areas in little float planes. Sometimes we would take the forest
service "yacht" a 56 foot working vessel, piloted by a guy who
survived a 1,720 foot tsunami in Lituya Bay
in 1958. He told us his story while we were with him. He would set out crabpots
and we would eat crab for lunch and dinner. We would also take the
small boat along small inlets, into caves via water access, and just cruise
around looking at stuff. What a great life!
