Trip to the Olympic Peninsula and Our Stay at the Elwha Dam RV Park & Campground (Part 1)

As we drove over on Sunday to pick Serenity up for our trip I was as nervous as I was last October.  I was nervous the entire drive home.  I guess I'm still adjusting to being an RVer.  It's still all so new to me and I guess I'm scared to do something wrong or make some kind of mistake when I/we go about camping.

Monday, April 25, 2016, 9 o'clock sharp:

After a relaxing morning we were underway cruising along in Serenity.  After about a five minute wait, and a minute of questions we were through the border and cruising down the I-5.

We stopped at a Fred Meyer near Bellingham for groceries and then Jack In The Box in Oak Harbor for a quick lunch.  And we are now aboard the Kennewick crossing Admiralty Inlet from Coupeville (Whidbey Island) to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula.  After a 25 minute float on the water the ferry is docking.

My nerves settled down once we returned to Serenity after our grocery run.  I was getting into the "zone", my "zone" of being a happy camper and feeling totally at home on the road.  As we got Serenity parked and levelled I was getting more comfortable and was feeling quite at ease as we made the necessary hookups for water, electricity and waste.  Parked in Site 39 of Elwha Dam RV Park.



It's now 6:15pm and we're sitting comfortably in Serenity simply relaxing and "being".  With me being Wizard Oron through and through...thank you Spirit.

I love the natural landscape that surrounds us, that we also drove through...tree lined and canopied two lane blacktop...stunning and beautiful...

...as I sit and look out the window as I struggle with a crossword puzzle I'm filled with happiness and contentment...this is life, my life...

...life on the road suits me and I most certainly suit life on the road.

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.

'19 The Sun of Life' and '12 The Mirror' and Light and Shadows

Thursday, November 12, 2015.  Yesterday we had an early morning even though we could have slept in all so we could spend the day with a friend with a trip across the border.  We made a quick jaunt down to Edison, Washington and picking some baked goods at the Bread Farm Bakery.  Then we returned the same way we came and made stops in Fairhaven and Bellingham, two cool little towns that we love to visit every now and then as they have cute, charming, and historic downtowns.  I was not planning to purchase anything but returned home with a small paper bag full of goodies-incense, candles, incense and candle holders, and a t-shirt and hoodie.  Oh, I picked these things up at Third Planet in Bellingham.

After a walk along the Fairhaven boardwalk we stopped for a delicious lunch at Dos Padres, a great little Mexican restaurant we discovered a few years ago.  We stopped for coffee a little later at Woods Coffee in Bellingham.  A couple of more stops and then we were on our way home and across the border in no time at all.  We arrived home around 7:00pm so we spent a little less than twelve hours in the Us and as a result had a great visit with our friend.

Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Energy is "19 The Sun of Life: A powerful symbol of light and fertility, the Sun of Life heralds a season blessed with joyous enlightenment, robust health and emotional harmony.   As the glorious rays of cleansing sunlight spill into the shadows of your heart and life, so the warmth reaches into your very bones and energizes your spirit.  It is time to let the inner sun at the core of your being shine for all to see, bringing warmth, light and harmony to others, and by doing so to connect with the consciousness of the universal mind.  The Sun of Life beckons you to see beyond the noise and clatter of human reality and become aware of the vastness and generosity of the cosmic soul."

Today's Tarot Energy is "12 The Mirror: Patience and prudence are the keywords here, although trust plays a large part in the process of crossing to the island where insights into our own unconscious workings may be revealed.  This process differs from the journey of the Hooded Man, who makes a conscious decision to withdraw and contemplate the universe.  In the Mirror, a surrender of will is required.  Insights may come from dreams and meditations, but now is the time to force the pace or drive on with a plan or desire until you have heard what your soul has to say, and your bruised and wounded spirit has been healed.  Be patient.  Let the journey commence and awaken afresh and full of energy, ready to deal with the world and the challenges it raises."

Surrender of will is the energy of the day.  Give yourself over to Spirit and allow your inner shadows to be revealed and see the light of day.  Listen intently to the voice of your soul and allow yourself to washed, cleansed and purified.  Allow the realignment that is necessary take hold in your life and give you the wherewith all to awaken and face a new day of change and the gift of life for yet another day.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
