Sylvan, Spearfish, Lead & Ike?

2008 West--35th Anniversary, Road Trip, South Dakota, States

After a rainy night today dawned sunny and bright. We did laundry and took our time breaking camp so that we had a dry tent to put away. Left Horsethief Campground and headed to Sylvan Lake for lunch and a hike.  Then we headed up US 385 to Spearfish Canyon but by then the skies had become leaden and it was spitting a light rain so we didn’t hike.  We stopped briefly in Lead to learn about the huge gold mine there but it was blustery and cold. Was it the outer fringes of the remnants of Hurricane Ike?  We started to head west on I-90 but didn’t get far before deciding to stop at a Best Western and enjoy a warm dry room and reliable internet access!

    Can’t wait to see all the photos, especially the side by side comparisons from Honeymoon 1 and Honeymoon 2.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
