Tammy’s Travels: 6 Months as VIP Volunteer at Fort Vancouver

Do All The Things

An amazing look at some of the things Tammy Williams did from her VIP experience at Fort Vancouver

Home page of blog, The Lady is a Tramp

My friend Tammy Williams has been an avid RV traveler and State and National Park volunteer for a number of years. She blogs at The Lady is a Tramp which is a fun record of her wild and often crazy adventures.

Her normal stay as a park volunteer is about six months and during that time she has a mission to "Do All the Things!" in the area. 

Currently as I write this, she is a VIP Volunteer for the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. Some of the things relate to her duties (and beyond) that she does as a VIP and others are the adventures she fits in on her off time and vacation time.

The following is a list of some of the things she has jam-packed into the last few months. Truthfully, I am totally, totally amazed at all the things she has found to do. She's my Adventure Heroine!
