Sitting here at the campground at Grahams Island State Park actually on an island in Devils Lake, the largest freshwater lake in North Dakota. We pulled in on Wednesday for a luxurious four night stay on Site #154 with full hookups and a very easy walk to the boat ramp and along the lakeshore. This place definitely caters to fishermen and from our spot we can watch fishing boats come and go and successful fishermen cleaning their catch at a state of the art cleaning station. Yesterday we enjoyed a trip to town to visit the laundromat and the grocery. Then last evening on a lovely walk through the campgrounds we had a chance to make friends with some fellow T@B travelers from Holland MI. This morning however we’re hunkered down inside our T@B 400 totally enjoying the comfort of this lovely shelter as rain pours down. Our Accuweather app promises the rain will continue for hours to come. Life is good and the adventures we’d planned for today can wait for the rain to pass.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
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.
