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.
