Taking our brightly colored van, we'd seek out other uniquely scenic spots to explore, such as a majestic ancient forest within the "See - Can't - Yous" mountain ranges. Hiking beside brook & stream & colon- nades of fir & pine bathed in the morning light, the peace almost surreal, it's as if in a sense we'd entered another world ... a lost Garden.

Nightfall would find us camping under the forest's canopy, star gazing, at times the heavens seemed almost animate as if telepathically twinkling esoteric messages of great knowledge & beauty. Now & then we'd happen upon a hot spring the healing waters, soothing & washing our cares away, re-uniting us with a sense of the interconnectedness of all life.
I can still feel the gentle breeze caressing my tan glistening, skin laying amongst the smooth warm boulders ... the soothing intonations of the flowing waters ... the wafting leaves of the madrona, oak & maple forming portals along the river's meandering path.
