I’ve been living a gypsy life since 1992. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
After a winter on the flea market circuit in the Southwest Dale & I took on “real” jobs back in Washington working and living in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest at Eagles Cliff Resort. This remote off-the-grid campground, four rustic camping cabins, a bunkhouse and general store are located on the south side of Mount St Helens amongst huge second growth Douglas fir.
I ran the general store and Dale took care of cleaning, fixing, and fishing. We gathered firewood and mushrooms in the fall, hunkered in for the winter, rejoiced in spring and worked hard in summer.

We were caretakers at Eagles Cliff for almost two years, then bought a school bus and hit the road again.
