Important Considerations

This work can be hard and monotonous. Egegik is located in a remote area- a plane or boat are the only ways to travel in and out of town. Most cell phones do not work in remote areas of Alaska. GCI and Bristol Bay Cellular cell phones are the most reliable in Egegik. We also have limited WiFi connection.
