    Description

    Hi! We are the Snows and Uncle John a family of 4. We live in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia in Golden. We have lots of projects on the go, presently we are working on preparing an RV site, clearing some of the forest and making firewood piles. We’re also doing some clean up around the yard, and tending to the garden, we love being outside.
    We have a few camping trips planned this summer and are also looking for house/pet sitters.
    We have an RV trailer set up for accommodation for workaways in the campsite we are developing near the river.
