Volunteer.Gov

It is a very quiet morning in the visitor center at Fort Vancouver.  Nine visitors in two hours.  I would much prefer being busy to this.  That is one reason why we are going to move the trailer to our driveway in Canby this week.  Our new house has so many tasks on its "to do" list that we need to spend more time there in order to get them accomplished.

That being said, this is a good place to work.  The work is easy. The set-up for the volunteer is close by and all needs are there; 30amp service, water, sewer, and garbage.  Free laundry facilites are provided as well.  It is a metropolitan area so shopping is unlimited here in Vancouver, as well as in Portland acrtoss the river.  This area is a treasure trove for exploration, whether it is the coast of Oregon or Washington,  the mountains of the Cascades, the Columbia Gorge, or the deserts on the eastern parts of both states.  If you have thought about being a VIP (Volunteer In the Parks) this would be a good place to start.
