After determining that we’ve met the criteria for adding North Dakota to our map and adding said sticker, we headed north on Highway 1806. Today’s journey from Fort Rice Recreation Area to Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park through Dakota farmland and the eastern edge of the badlands was a total of twenty-four miles! This is a beautiful park with some great opportunities to expand our knowledge of the history of the Mandan people and of US military operations in the Dakota territory. And it’s close to the North Dakota capitol of Bismarck. We’ll stay here three nights. After setting up camp we headed into town for some frozen yogurt and to Keelboat Park to find the replica of Lewis and Clark’s keelboat.

And the Thunderbird!

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.
