Thank you for all of the kind words in your posts, not only to me, but to our friends here on the Trump Train.
Andrew Carnegie, author of Think And Grow Rich, studied the wealthiest men of his time, specifically- their shared habits and behaviors used to succeed. One skill or quality recommended and used by the most successful of their day, was to be able to tap into a power or resource referred to as infinite intelligence. It’s that unexplainable force that moves in a mysterious undefinable way, that can be conjured up and used with recognition and belief skills, and manifests or delivers things we desire, often at the darndest of times. Some call it far more than coincidence.
Having hiked for over four years now, from March to November, I have had the remarkable experience, multiple times over, of having things appear or go my way, at what seems like the most perfect moments in time.
I go with the flow, and do not believe that when it happens, it’s happened for the last time. I am grateful, with no expectations for further benefit, but do not dismiss the possibility of further good fortune. It’s kind of an uncanny learned skill that just happens, and believing in the art of it, seems to be a key factor. It’s hard to put into words. Infinite intelligence kind of connects everything at some metaphysical level. No witchcraft or voodoo. Just the operation of the 3.5 pounds of grey matter that the good Lord gave us to use.
Maybe- it’s even simpler yet: having a belief that the good Lord will provide. ;O)
A practical explanation seems to be that living outdoors for 6-8 months speaks to us at a primal level and taps into our dna or blueprints, and after time, up bubbles all of these innate skills that have perhaps lay dormant from our birth, or perhaps it’s just our senses coming more alive as we have to rely on them in serious survival situations, to include life or death decisions. It’s like the old adage- use it or lose it.
I feel very blessed to be able to traipse across the rivers and valleys, the mountains and deserts, in California, Oregon, and Washington, with everything that I need, tucked into a backpack that I wear strapped to my back, and to live relatively comfortably as I do so, in all manner of climate and weather.
Great post, this comment pretty well sums it up:
“Here’s the reality folks. The DC Beltway and their entire institutional system of crony politics and financial graft is at risk. In order to protect their own interests, financial interests, every single effort is being exhausted to keep you from recognizing the scope of our united beliefs as America-First Americans.”
I did not make it (although I am a graphic artist). On a whim I googled “hillary as wicked witch” LOL many results, lots of people agree with you haha
Hat tip for trying, but I will not have any more to do with Nikos or anything he posts.
You certainly didn’t need to apologies to me.
I am moving on ...to other threads.
Cheers.....

Went on FB and messaged snugs
Please have a wonderful evening. This nik group, or whatever it’s called, is not for me.
Cheers....
love your post. The media, Lindsey graham and others are all doing their best to discourage etc.
Maybe this is why DJT is having more rallies. Keep out front. Keep his platform/message strong
Lets continue to pray for him
Exactly.
This is all about dispiriting us-and Trump.
To get us to let our guard down.
Buckle up.
We’ve got this.
Thank you so much for posting pictures of Trump Rallies. Miss Trump doing them!
S’OK, Gator.
We’ve got your back.
Even when we toss rhubarbs your way.
My sainted mother used to make the best stewed rhubarb from the remains of the victory garden in our back yard. It was my job to go get it.
I know. Different rhubarb. More rhu, less barb, although I think the leaves are inedible.
I do know what your saying and you really know how to put it into words for understanding. It seems you have quite a lot of Native American Indian in you as I see it. I could be totally off base.
I’ve lived with the presence of people around me most of my life. I’ve only started actually seeing more of them in the last ten years or so. I fell into listening to people who didn’t understand and advised me to sell items in the house thinking my situation would change. Big mistake. I now only talk to other people who have experiences somewhat like me and it seems our paths quite often cross others for understanding.
Your open to crossing paths with others who have lead you in the direction you need to go and how to experience what they have to give. Have a good summer and keep us posted.
That’s it. Nelda’s Diner.
Lots of tasty beef grazing along that stretch of road between Welden and Lake Isabella.
Saw my first bears between Tehachapi, and Walker Pass, while out on the trail.
Thanks for the invite. I’ll definitely give a shout out whenever I get back that way.
Thank you very much.
I started hiking in 2012, after experiencing some very serious cardiac issues. MI, pacemaker implant, hypertension, sky high cholesterol, and a stent in the widow maker.
Not to brag, but my anecdotal story of that particular day, was by no means a one off event. More the norm, but not so much as to the harrowing aspect.
A friend of mine played minor league ball for the Chicago Cubs. He was a great hitter getting paid $600 a month in AA ball. He got benched so that a bonus baby could get playing time. The bonus baby got a $100,000 bonus to sign on with the Cubs. My friend became disgruntled. His batting instructor was Hall of Famer- Ernie Banks. Ernie told my friend Sty, Sty- life’s a banquet, partake of it. My friend didn’t get the message and went in and told off the farm director. He got fired for running his mouth, and never made it up to the big show.
When I’m out hiking, on the best weather day, or the worst, the hottest day, or the coldest, the windiest day, or the calmest, the sorest I’ve ever felt, or the best, I try to remember Ernie Banks advise to my friend Sty-
life’s a banquet, partake of it. ;O)
love your adventures
talking about bugs..(or we aren’t? let’s do) I had the dogs 15 years and did daily romps and tromps through the woods. Sometimes for hours. NEVER a tick on me. now and then found one on them - especially Toby. The other day sitting in my yard reading.. felt something in back on neck and pulled off a tick. Disgusting things. The cicadas are still serenading me
Busy weekend here at hotel. Fri night Dolly Parton and Sat Whitesnake .. date night tomorrow.. seeing Xmen... I’m into that sort of thing.
night all..
;>)
Great Pictures! Thanks so much for sharing!
Very good picture
and she going to melt
in November with a
Trump Victory!
I don't believe the agitators will be too successful in causing too much trouble.
