Replying to *$HOOD$*

Hey I am thinking about driving from Maine to Mount Hood this summer. I was wondering if anyone knows of any part time jobs available in the Hood area. Plus what is the cheapest way to live out there cause Im fresh outta high school and have no money. Can you like live in a tent by the river or something? Do people actually do that? Is it worth goin to Hood with the conditions? Anyways I pretty much need all the info I can get on this so I can go out there for like a couple of months.

Be alive today.~MARLEY
