This has been our second stay at Newhalem Campground in North Cascades National Park in Washington State. This time we stayed three nights in Site A6 and we still didn’t have enough time to explore the area. Next time perhaps we’ll stay in one of the other campgrounds. There’s a cute little campground adjacent to the company town of Diablo, right on the edge of the lake, and Colonial Creek is lovely, especially the waterfront sites. And there’s lots more possibilities we haven’t yet explored. Perhaps something nearer Washington Pass would give us a nice chance to do the hike to Cutthroat Lake. This “American Alps” park is still topping out our list of best places we have visited. We want to come back.
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!
