Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for this weekend after the 4th of July. Luckily we had our choice of either of the two Walk-In sites. We chose #18 and paid for three nights but we have the option of extending our stay to a max of fourteen nights! On our walk around this evening we began to surmise that many of the campers are families that come here the same week or two weeks every year and have created somewhat of a summer camp atmosphere. There’s quite a few white DIY 5 gallon bucket lanterns. The primary mode of transportation is golf cart, even on the roads outside the park! But we have to say we’re enjoying our little quiet dark corner of the camp!
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!
