the raccoons ate the marshmallows!

I just came back from camping in Big Sur and wandering around California with friends. It was unbelievable and I sat up on this beautiful cliff and wished everyone posting and reading at SR a little of the beauty I was fortunate enough to experience. I hung out after everyone else went to sleep and played my guitar while I enjoyed the beautiful moon and stars. I had mountains filled with redwoods and ancient trees behind me and the pacific glowing silver in the moonlight stretched out in front of me. it was delicious! I wasn’t chemically altered or drunk and I told the night sky and the universe that I was really ready to accept what life was offering good or bad… and that even if I wasn’t really ready(hehe) I would deal with it! thinking of dealing with life... magically... made all the voices of the people here and the love and support i have gotten here pop into my head! so I wished everyone well and a little piece of my happiness and serenity. Thanks everyone for camping with me! summer is go out and play music time for me and travel/camping/surf time ...so i may not always be around on the boards as much as i would like to be.... but all of you are with me in my heart and we are going to have a fun summer!

My wife asks every year.... Where would I like to go for a vacation?

My answer every year... I wanna go see the big trees.

Thank you for bringing me with you. Maybe one of these days when I become rich and don't need work no more, I will get on my bike and ride cross country so I can see the trees from the seat of a bike. The view from the road is so much nicer on a bike then in a car.
So where we going next? *LOL*

Are we there yet?

but I don't hafta go right now.

ummm can we stop? I need to go.

Are we there yet? How much longer? 2 more sleeps? awwwww
Are we there yet? Is it morning?

I am hungry

Are we there yet?

I can't wait, in 3 weeks going to the first NA campout for the season around here. Then in August, spending 8 days camping in Cape Cod. Already downloaded a MA meeting list for the trip.

Dear alice,
As I too will travel this summer, I'll take along my favorite trailer park goddess with me, should I ever need a quick lesson in good pagan etiquette, or even perhaps a new set of strings for my strat...
