Description

Do you remember, when you were a child, how you treasured a secret hideaway that only you knew about?

Wherever this place was, no matter how small or big, the important thing is that it was yours. It was a room, even a closet, a field, an enclave, a copse of trees, a refuge to which you could escape to slay your dragons, ride your winged horse through the air, command your ship on the mighty seas. However imagination enticed, this hidden spot was a safe place to indulge your dreams and daydreams:. There were no watchful adults to chuckle indulgently over your cute antics, no siblings to roast you.

There was just the secret hideaway, this place where you were free to be who you were and what you imagined yourself to be.

Peaceful Stream is such a spot, but one for the adult who remembers what it felt like to be a child. Tucked away in the landscape of Eastern Washington, this quiet river flowing past green grassy banks is easily overlooked by the people driving by on the highway, just above. Indeed, to find it, you have to be a distracted passenger, looking out the window, and even then it passes by quickly.

“Pull over! Stop quick! There’s a beautiful draw just back there!”

With a sigh the driver stops, and you get out, walk back several hundred yards (it took a few seconds for the driver to properly respond), climb over the guard rail and scramble down the hill to the stream.

And then, ah . . . you are there, in a space between shadow and sunlight, in a place that pays little heed to the traffic on its way back from Pomeroy to Dayton. The trickle of the stream is calming, the nearby hills protective at the same time they beckon you to explore.

There’s an adventure waiting, just for you, in this place . . .
