He built a cabin on Steamboat Bay and then one at the end of Coolin Bay. In the late 1940s, he took his son along to film the flume on Indian Creek and the log drive on the Priest River. http://scawild.org/2018/01/03/1948-video-of-the-last-log-drive/ Robert and Georgene spent their first summers together on Priest Lake lookouts.
