Cathy & Jay took delivery of their new black and silver clamshell T@B just before Tearstock in July. They were camped near us there at Atwood but we didn’t really get to know them until they and their dog Zoe stayed a few sites from us in Cottonwood campground at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota early last month. Then we saw them southbound as we were headed north on Highway 16 in South Dakota’s Black Hills. When we thought we saw them pass us on US-101 in Forks on Friday we sent them a text. The exchange of a few messages revealed that we both had reservations at the same campground on Sunday. So we made plans for a dinner together. We chose Downriggers on the waterfront in Port Angeles where we enjoyed the views, craft brews, local salmon, and wonderful conversation. We swapped tales of life in our respective T@Bs and of road trips past and present. We’ll stay in touch and look forward to the next time our paths cross!
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!
