That was where I decided to stop. And there was that area for the horse carriers. I had no idea where I was going specifically at that point and I was tired and I had no idea where I was at and especially because that was in the middle of the night and I couldn't see anything beyond the headlights of my Jeep. I remember I went back to the place the next night, too, to sleep in my Jeep because I had been parked on a mountain peak and the nighttime air was very cold and driving down the mountain to the lower elevation made sleeping in my Jeep easier because the air was not as cold. I went to that place after I heard a detail mentioned on KOMO4 television news in the afternoon although the creek and the bridge was a place I had to find because I roamed away from the area with the other bridge and that bridge where I stopped was only a few feet above the creek.
Recently I have been thinking that the purpose of all this is because my activities are creating an antidote to a situation that is far beyond our control and come to the point of being every man and every family for themselves.

PINK FLOYD LYRICS
"High Hopes"
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
2006 film "The Queen" DVD video:
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: Think I'm going to walk back. I don't feel like stalking.
HRH Prince Charles: Are you sure?
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: I'll take the dogs. Walkies? Yes! Who knows the way home?
