Beach to Snow to Desert!! Again!


Hi Everyone ~ 

We've seen a lot of different landscape during the last few weeks and all of it is picture perfect.  The picture above is us leaving California.  We took the road that took through Lake Tahoe and across Nevada, which is actually called the Loneliest Road in America.   Here's some pics from that stretch...


I got to see my waterfall after all...


and it sure was pretty!!




Scott loved this river!






Here we moved into snow




Made it to Lake Tahoe...





We didn't really get to enjoy the lake, I felt almost barred from it.  It's definitely not easily accessible.  We couldn't even get a picture of it.  Weird!!  From there we made it to Fallon.  We liked this little town.  Aaron loved the skatepark mainly because the kids were really nice.  We checked out the thrift stores where the ladies insisted on giving Lakyn a prom dress, and I mean insisted, even though we told them the kids were homeschooled and we were traveling.  So Lakyn tried them all on and picked a really pretty pale blue one.  Then they made her take shoes and accessories!!  Here's a pic...


Everything happens for a reason, maybe she'll need it on our way..  who knows?


This was an archaeology area with petroglyphs and caves and the lichen was so pretty!




This tree was out in the middle of nowhere with shoes hanging all over it!  Of course Aaron made a bee line for it with some old shoes of his!


We also found a hot spring in the middle of nowhere!  The main spring was 165 degrees!! 
But we weren't the only ones there... some naked people showed up!


This is another petroglyph area, Hickison campgrounds (which were free btw)  Really pretty!


If you look closely, you might be able to see Aaron..


We took the tour through Lehman Caves which was awesome.  The first two rooms we could feel a powerful energy!!  It wasn't until after the tour that we found out that there were a couple indians buried there.  I'm sure they must have been people who danced with power.  I made sure to ask for pardon due to ignorance and cleared our energies after the tour.  






Aaron acted as Ranger at this point



There was a cool shield formation at the end of the tour that looked like an angel wing but our batteries died in our camera, look for it if you go there!

We are now in Koosharem, Utah, about 30 minutes south of Richfield, visiting Scott's mom's cousins.  I will write about it in the next post.. they are very very nice!!!!  It's mother's day and I'm just relaxing.  

I set up an Amazon Store, which you can find the link or in the right column under my etsy store link.  I am posting recommendations in there, and if you end up buying it from my store, we get a percentage.  Anything helps on our journey.  I will be posting more things in there as I am able to. 

I've sold a couple more necklaces, which is cool!  I love it when someone actually pays for something I made!  It's definitely a confidence booster.  Keep checking out the etsy store as I try to display something new every so often.

Scott is excited about working on the Earthships.  We should be there soon.  I posted a banner link in the right column for you to check them out at their website in case you're interested to know what the heck I've been talking about.

Things are great with us.  Lakyn's turning into a reader and she is finding out who she really is, not being defined by her friends.  Aaron is turning into an artist, his work is really good.  I'll post some of it sometime in the future.  He also is beginning to write stories.  We are learning to trust our intuition and follow our hearts even when can't see around the corner.  Living authentically feels good and is food for the soul.  It allows inspiration to pour into you and all you have to do is follow your heart.



Love and Light,
Tiff and Family
