    About this ebook

    We do not always know where we are going or where we will end up. We often hear of the advice that we get about making plans, setting goals, and to keeping focus on our intented direction.For the most part, that is good advice and a good plan to follow but sometimes life cirucstances simply do not follow this. The best intentions can be completely wiped away seemingly in an instant when we least expect it.
    This is a story about me and my family when our best plans took an unexpected turn.that we did not know how to deal with at the time.
    We had a devastating blow happen to us when we had just gone from home to do some short errands and expected to be right back. While we were gone we received a call that our place was on fire. We had just left so how could such a thing happen so quickly. When we got back home the whole place was destroyed. It was nothing but a pile of ashes.This is a story of how we went from here with nothing left but the vehicle in which we were riding and a few personal items in the trunk of the car.The shock of the situation forced us to make decisions fast. This is a story of how we went from here with nothing left, the decisions we had to make in a hurry ,what we were able to do and eventually manage to make a new life for ourselves.

    Despite a long ordeal of getting to a better place and new lifestyle we ended our journey on the most surprising ly successful way that we never had previously thought of ever achieving This story is interesting reading by its self but also it can be quite a compelling inspiration for others who may find themselves in very desvastating circumstances feeling that there is no hope for things to ever recover and get better. It shows that with hope and determination one can succeed. It's possible to achieve an even better life in due time than the one that was left behind..It can be a long hard road to get there. As you look back you may be grateful in the long run that it happened and possibly even have some good laughs about what you did along the way to pull through.

    Originally I had begun writing various materials and projects for a public school system when I was employed as an education specialist. Later I changed careers and worked as a National Park Ranger in a number of parks in the western United States. As a park ranger along with the regularly assigned duties I also did historical research and wrote materials for their official website. Due to the fact that I had these various experiences I met so many people, listened to all kinds of stories, personal experience and encounters I decided I wanted to write stories and articles in my own way without the limiting restrictions of some organization.My latest project has been to write short articles and stories that can be read quickly and easily giving readers some ideas of topics they might like to pursue on their own.I still get letters and stories from people I had met Some of these have been published. People had gotten quite excited about having their stories included in a permanent collection. For this reason I still am asking people to write to me,tell me things that have been of interest to them or what some of their own experiences have been. It has been so much fun to hear from elderly indiviuals particularly because they have lived through times that we did not know or had any experience of it.As time goes on I hope to continue collecting and writing about subject areas that are different from the usual more common topics in hope that my readers will enjoy a new approach.

      Preface

      A Road to Somewhere!

      This story is about truly finding a Road to Somewhere."

      We do not always know where we are going or where we will end up. We often hear of the advice that we get about making plans, setting goals, and to keep focusing on our intended direction. For the most part, that is good advice and a good plan to follow, but sometimes life circumstance simply do not follow this, or pay any attention to what we had in mind. The best of intentions can be completely wiped away seemingly in an instant when we least expect it, then what? Do we give up on life or do we just keep going until we finally find a way to make it work?

      Another thing about this story is that in more recent time I have written stories about other people, how they had interesting past experiences, and how they had arrived at new destinations. Quite often in the process of interviewing others, we would be discussing how I had acquired this job and how I ended up living in a different location far from where I had originally started. For this reason, I decided to write my own story for other to read.

      This is my story, what happened to
