We lead a life of serendipity. Meaning whatever we want as long as it doesn't cost too much and our health doesn't interfere and Clancy agrees. But sometimes we plan ahead.
Like planning for summer, when working people dream of taking a break and enjoying themselves too. They resist the Capitalist Manifesto, which requires people to work more for less so a few can work less and have more. Which is why the few recently took even more, so people would lose their jobs and stay home instead of going on vacation. If they still had homes.
Of course, when they lose their homes, they feel unencumbered and travel more, looking for work. Thereby living their dreams after all. So it all works out...for a few.
Where was I? Doesn't take much.
Last year (2009) we worked as volunteers for the Oregon Parks Department. This year, we did not secure positions at Fort Stevens for 2011. Instead we will spend June at Collier Memorial State Park in the Cascade Mountains near Crater Lake. Then July and August on the coast at Nehalem Bay State Park , 10 miles south of Cannon Beach. In each park, we will work in the Information Center, dispensing brochures and wisdom about the local attractions and the closest wifi service. No selling firewood or cleaning campgrounds. Sounds great!
Yet life has a way of working on its own. Check back in eight months to see if it works out.

Good luck Bruce and Jenna with planning the rest of your activities for the new year. Sounds as though you have made the best lemonade from the sour lemons that we've been handed. We will make it all work out! Humans are resilient and flexible. Not all of us are driven to accumulate an endless number of dollars. Some of us just enjoy driving and exploring and enjoying our moments on earth! Take care..
Nehalem! One of our all time favourites. And we can't come. We will have to be in Canada.
