So for our “shake down” trip::
Linda and I spent four days and three nights at the campground and had a wonderful/comfortable time. In the evenings it was a little chilly but with the Alde heating system we were as warm as toast.
We had the opportunity for many campfires and a lot of hiking which will be the topic of some upcoming posts.

John Muir (1838-1914) was America's most famous and influential naturalist and conservationist, and founder of the Sierra Club. This website, known as the "John Muir Exhibit" features his life and contributions.
In his life, Muir published six volumes of writings, all describing explorations of natural settings. Four additional books were published posthumously. Several books were subsequently published that collected essays and articles from various sources.
But we do have: Life Steps, Capitol Steps, The Twelve Steps and more…
Life Steps By Catherine Pulsifer, © 2007
“Our entire life is made up of choices,
What we decide,
the action we take,
the attitude we display
All represent the steps of life.
Sometimes we take two steps forward
And one-step back.
Some of us take baby steps
Some of us take giant steps
But the secret is not to let that
one step back turn into a failure.
Learn from backward steps
And keep on stepping forward in this dance
Called Life!”
Capitol Steps: “The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.” Read More
The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous::
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
I wonder who engineered these steps?
The steps of the engineering design process are to:
The Ten Steps/Reasons for not washing:
1. I was forced to wash as a child. 2. People who wash are hypocrites - they think they're cleaner than others. 3. There are so many kinds of soap I could never decide which was right. 4. I used to wash, but it got boring. 5. I only wash on Christmas and Easter. 6. None of my friends wash. 7. I'll start washing when I'm older. 8. I really don't have the time. 9. The bathroom isn't warm enough. 10. People who make soap are only after your money.
“Watch where you step
For where you step
May lie
In the circle of danger
Or friendship
Or happiness
Or goodness
Watch where you step
Watch where your mind wanders
Watch what you think about
Watch your future
Because it will help you
Become the person you dream of being
Watch where you step
It changes your future
It changes your fate
Listen to others
They will guide your walk
Like signs on a road
They will tell you where to go
Where to step
Watch where you step
In order to achieve your dreams
And make the impossible possible
Watch where you step
Be cautious
It'll help you prosper
In the future of your dreams
Watch your step closely
Like a hawk eyeing it's prey
One moment your mind will be aware
Of what you're doing
And the next moment
It will not
Watch where you step
That's the only way
You'll get what you want
If you're nice to somebody
If you care
If you respect others
It all revolves in a circle
So watch where you step
To have a happy life
Think before you act
And you'll always
Prosper” Anika, 10
