I am at Chinle, not shiprock. It is more remote here. I work 3 12s one week and 4 12s the next. I work for Anderson Bates and they have always been great to me. I am getting $36 but it is a blended rate meaning that a portion of that amount is tax free. I hope I have answered all your questions. I am new to this forum thing.:wink2:

I have been at Chinle since June 19th and am staying at the Best Western. After about 10 weeks I was offered housing from the hospital but declined as I had worked out a reasonable way to cook in my room. I have a two burner hot plate and small frig. also a microwave but I don't use that. there is one grocery store here which has most everything you might need as far as basic foods. Some drive to Gallup but I think it is a wast of time and money. I have cooked some real good things with only a 1 1/2 qt pot with cover and a 8" fry pan. Chili, spaghetti, oatmeal, rice, pan fry fish and chicken tenders. also make coleslaw and salads, tuna fish and egg salad sandwiches. I have a Vita Mix and make a hearty smoothie for breakfast with fruit, tofu, juice and seeds that lasts me the morning. Bring all the basics, including a couple bowls to mix things and a dishpan as you will have to wash your dishes in the tub as the pan will fill faster and it is easier access. Also bring a couple dishtowels and dishrags. This is totally doable for the short term esp if you have specific goals in mind-a great place to study. Hope this helps.:wink2:
