Village of Trees
Friday we set out from Baker Oregon early in the morning. We didn’t even stay long enough to take the town in, but driving out, there wasn’t much to see. Truck took quite a while to fire up in the morning. On route to Rupert, Idaho. (a place I did know I would find myself settling down in for quite a while) It was a 5 hour drive. Thomas and I listened to a few modules while the check engine light stayed on, reminding me about the gut feeling I told Marrakech about the night I bought the truck. There were really beautiful sky scapes through Idaho on the way there. Made for excellent cloud work.
We pulled in to “The Village of Trees”, a quaint RV park nestled right off the freeway. Seemed nice and convenient to stay at until we set out for Utah. After registering at the front office, we pulled up, de-hitched, I set up my workstation, and was able to take a few calls before HBI closed. Eric called and said he made dinner for everyone. He made a delicious curry rice dish, nice and spicy. Rice, vegetables, and chicken, my favorite, nice and lean. Eating at the table in his trailer made it hard to feel we were on the road. Very cozy.
After dinner, went back to my rig for one last SRP appointment. Phone connection was stable. (ahh, I remember thinking things were going to work out just fine on this trip!) After a really deep session on the illusory nature of time, I went outside to exercise some before winding down to meditate and sleep.
Overall, pretty standard day.
