Outdoor jobs for geeks?
davidw: Interesting question.  I love being outdoors, and find that it's necessary to get a fair amount of exercise to be physically and mentally healthy.  Perhaps it's best not to combine that with work, though...My grandfather worked as a forest ranger, and he seemed happy enough, although I'm not sure it was much of a geeky occupation (although he did know the common and latin names of a large variety of flora and fauna).  My other grandfather, OTOH, worked on the instrumentation of early jet planes.  Definitely geeky:-)
