Getting into the Groove with G.A.S.

First, I would like to express our gratitude for our dear friends John and Susan.   They’ve been sharing with us many helpful hints about all the do’s and don’ts when it comes to RVing.  Even with all the challenges of the repairs Rosie has needed within the first week, we’ve been having the time of our lives. We’ve spent the last several days camping with them throughout Idaho and Oregon and experienced many extremes in terms of the variety of camping.  We’ve gone boondocking (out in the middle of nowhere), stayed in a National Park forest camp with only a water hook up and primitive toilets and finally a campground run by a native American tribe complete with all the amenities, pool, showers, laundry, WiFi, electric and water hookups and a casino within walking distance.  None of us are much into casino’s but all agreed it might be fun to check it out.  Josie and I dropped five bucks total between us in the dollars slots.  Susan donated a whole dollar in one pull of the handle in a nickel slot machine.  And John was the big winner after slipping a twenty into a slot machine and won $199.00 plus his twenty dollars back.  We celebrated john’s win by having a drink in the bar and listening to a Reggae Band.  This morning we’ll continue North and West making our way towards Seattle, Washington where their daughter Ashley with be getting married next weekend to a fine young man by the name of Mark. I look forward to what today’s adventures have in store for us.  My awareness continues to teach me that each moment is an opportunity for me to take responsibility in the co-creation of my experience, both the good and the bad.  Just remember, shit happens and sometimes it’s totally out of our control like the hurricane that recently hit the coast of Texas.  We send out our thoughts and prayers to all those that are unsure as to whether they still have a home to return to or not.  And last but not least, gratitude to all those that are providing service for those in need.
