Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

My World Tuesday - The gypsy life of a seasonal park ranger

Desert sunset

Ah, the winter desert was beautiful to walk through and the sunsets were spectacular. Yet as spring approached I knew it was time to head back to the Northwest and return to work as a cave guide at Oregon Caves National Monument.

My friend is a warden in the UK and he wouldn't do anything else. I can see why to be at one with nature is so freeing.

At one time, I also wanted to be a park ranger.

Lovely post. Happy 2009.

You've got some great photos there, Gaelyn. I'm so envious of the life you are living.

I think Stacey and I have taken that same trail before. There was patchy snow in the high country and we ended up taking some loop trail where we can see the Siskiyou Mountains and California in the near distance. Well, we slid down a snow patch from the ridge which led us to some jeep road which brought us back to some trail. I can see it in my mind but I usually don't digest the names.

I don't know if I have the courage to lead a gypsy life, but I sure envy the beautiful places in your world.

Looks like anonymous is advertising.
Anyway it has been yrs since i have been to the Oregon Caves,It was back in 1970 i believe,It makes me at least want to come back and check out the area sometime in the future.
Maybe this fall would be a good time.
