Helping Each Other

 

From our experience in Anacortes, Washington October 2012 - We headed for Mount Erie. I’d read online that there were great views from the top of this mountain. Our map gave us just a general idea of where we were going. We couldn’t find the street we were to turn on and ended up driving around the area several times. The first man we asked for directions wasn’t from there and didn’t know the streets. On another go around we asked a woman. She told us exactly where to turn. 

The turn off to the mountain lead to a narrow paved road that went around and around and around - finally we arrived at the top of the mountain. The two main viewing platforms overlooked an oil refinery - not the most beautiful sight - plus the pine trees had grown so tall and thick that you could barely see the water. The Internet article I found earlier mentioned this not so beautiful overlook and said there was a better view from a path near the radio tower. It’s a good thing we knew that because the view was spectacular - and the path looked like it led to the radio tower and not an overlook. 

When we were at the first overlook we talked with a couple and told them about the other overlook. After we discovered the path, we went back to tell them where it was. They asked if we’d gone to Washington Park in Anacortes and told us about the beautiful sights on the loop road. The view was outstanding - so much water and so many islands.

We can help each other navigate our journeys here on earth by sharing the good news about finding the right path and beautiful views along the way.
