It’s a primitive site in the Lost Bridge West State Recreation Area at Salamonie Lake near Andrews IN. Last night we had full hookups at a KOA. Tonight our fanciest amenity is running water at the community spigot! There are more developed campgrounds in the park but we chose this so that we can refine our dry camping skills rather than wait until we are in a truly remote campsite to discover we lack a critical piece of equipment or bit of know how. Besides that we are blessed with being the sole occupants of the campground and the opportunity to sit together under the apple tree!
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!
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.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
