The Lessons That I Derived from My Recent Wanderlust
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.

Nehalem Bay State Park
Just off of Highway 101 in the tiny little town of Nehalem is nestled Nehalem Bay State Park. The park sits on 900 acres of land that was transferred to the State of Oregon from Tillamook County in the 1930s. The park sat stagnant until a flurry of activity in the 1940s and 1950s, when thousands upon thousands of European beach grass, shore pine, and Scotch broom meant to strengthen and stabilize the dunes were planted. After over two decades of hard work, the plants had taken root and fulfilled their intended purpose. Nehalem Bay State Park opened to the public in 1972. Hiking, biking, and equestrian trails weave throughout the park, and an airstrip invites pilots to drop in and camp for the evening. Fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and beachcombing are among the favorite activites at Nehalem Bay State Park. In addition to the RV and tent sites, there is also an equestrian camp, an airstrip camp, hiker/biker campsites, and yurts available. Once inside the campground, the beach is easily accessible through a small hike over the dunes that separate Nehalem Bay State Park from the Pacific Ocean. The wildlife includes bears, elk, deer, and mountain lions. The deer and elk will often graze inside the campground, allowing one the opportunity to watch them in a close-up setting.
