After struggling to barely survive financially in the flea market business, especially alone on the road, I gave up the gypsy life for a while and returned to Washington to work and live at Eagles Cliff Resort on the south side of Mount Saint Helens.

I parked my motorhome in the campground and when I wasn’t working Carson and I would hike and play in the surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

When winter arrived I returned to Carson, Washington along the Columbia River and parked at the Carson Hot Springs Resort campground. A friend and I opened a second-hand store for the winter.

I was really missing being a Park Ranger so applied to many parks and received an offer from Oregon Caves, my next adventure.
Gaelyn: I must say you live a rich life as you travel around the USA.
I can understand how the park ranger life would call you. Can hardly wait to see where it took you!
happy tuesday gaelyn…enjoying the story…you keep leaving us on edge…lol.
have a wonderful evening.
chat soon.
Love your shots — I live in Seattle. You are a brave lady and I do admire you! Enjoy following your adventures! Take care, stay safe and enjoy the freedom of your world! Thanks for sharing!
Love your Arabian night’s story and that fabulous shot ot Mt.St.Helen. Love your spirit of adventure.
What a beautiful place to do what you are doing.
This is a great story. I wish I had started doing this long ago, too.
I look forward to hearing the next installment of where you got on offer to work. I’ve worked in Olympic National Park before as a Sea Otter Researcher. So if this is a winter gig, you must be working at a desert or canyon type of national park.. or ?
Lovely photo of Mt St Helens. I remember when it blew up, and still have a paperweight made from the volcanic glass.
Very interesting. Carson is a beautiful dog.
Very interesting lifestyle. The glimpse of the Creek falls is a visual treat and so is the Mt. St. Helens. Lovely post!
Interesting life you lead. Mount St Helens in lovely. Good luck with the ranger job!
What a wonderful life you have being surrounded by such beauty every day! Lucky you!
