Trip to the Olympic Peninsula and Our Stay at the Elwha Dam RV Park & Campground (Part 2&3)

Tuesday, April 26, 2016:

As dusk overtook the day last evening those elusive and legendary frogs of the "Frog Pond" next to us came to life in a big way.  With Serenity parked below the shore of the pond we had front row seats to the sounds of the "Frog Orchestra".  And what a treat and delight it is to hear the hundreds of frogs croaking to their hearts content.
I may have tossed and turned and it was and still is cold, 3 Clecius.  I slept fairly well and awoke around 5:30am feeling well rested and very much ready to get up so I did!

Thinking about it now the sofa bed is  bit uncomfortable and although a mattress topper might help it's just too much to bring into the small space of Serenity.  So I'll put up with it for now.

Spirit's time is now and today's Gay Tarot Energy is the “5 of Wands: The Hockey Game.  The project meets resistance.  Testing one’s ideas against others.  An enjoyable struggle.  Competition in the marketplace."

A bit of a struggle and a competitive market are pushing me to learn and grow more and greatly expand my knowledge.  Allowing in the wisdom of the cosmos and completely opening myself up to the presence, power, and guidance of Spirit will allow me to soar to new heights, heights I never thought possible with a good dose of humility and generosity thrown in there to keep me balanced and well grounded.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

Afternoon/Evening of Tuesday, April 26, 2016:

After breakfast and a relaxing morning we hiked down to the former site of the Elwha Dam, completed in 1911 and removed in 2014.  The Elwha River is another example of the magnificent gifts of nature however her mighty energy was harnessed to create hydroelectric power that was used to spur man's growth and development of the peninsula.  I could sense the nature's energy and rejoicing now that the two manmade dams are no more and she reclaims the rightful passage of the Elwha River and return of all the life that disappeared when the dam was built.  Nature is in its glory and the trees are rejoicing!
We passed through this gateway:
Down at what was once the bottom of the reservoir we came upon the remains of an old wagon: 

 Thank You Spirit and Thank You Nature!


After lunch we unhooked and took Serenity out for a drive so we could visit Joyce, the Joyce General Store and the former Joyce Railroad Station of the last remaining log built train stations in existence, if I remember correctly.  Now the Joyce General Store sure has a lot of life to her and what energy does she hold.  Walking into that general store is like walking into a live history lesson as you feel and sense the thousands of people who've walked into that store over the decades it's been around.  If you listen, you can still hear voices today, a part of their spirits still remain behind like a bookmark marking a page in their book of life.
Once we returned to our temporary home, Site 39, we reconnected Serenity to all the available amenities and headed over the Elwha Dam RV Park Community Center and laundry room around 4:45 pm to catch the results in the latest round of primaries.

It's about 5:30pm now and I find myself overwhelmed with thoughts of touring the rest of the Olympic Peninsula and recording my thoughts and the energy and history of the places I visit all based on the love, presence, and guidance of Spirit!

When we first stepped in the community center here at Elwha after our arrival the 'ESCAPEES, Sharing the RV Lifestyle' magazine caught my eye.  And in particular the article on page 34, "Advice from a Full-time RVer, Working from the Road".

I love living and experiencing life in and from Serenity.  I am well on my way to "Working From the Road" and joining the author of this article, Brittany Highland, on the road.  I'd love nothing more than to continue driving down US Highway 101 tomorrow to see the rest of the Olympic Peninsula as well as the rest of small town USA rather than heading back home...

...I want to RV fulltime badly enough that I'm willing to plan and sacrifice to make it happen and make it happen within the next twelve months or less.

I need to give into and feed my wanderlust!

I hear the road calling me and I'm taking the risk to make it happen.

I'm following Spirit around the continent and writing about it...join me on this journey and see and experience your life changed!
