Clifford (the big, red bus) was loaded with luggage and 19 of us... and we rattled and rolled for 5 hours on Friday night, January 4, 2013, arriving at Camp Shenandoah Springs in Madison, Virginia about 10:30p.m. It was DARK, and it was COLD! Old Clifford barely squeezed through the narrow, 1&1/2 mile drive cut through banks of trees leading up to the camp.
We met Mr. Bryan's group from Redeemer Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, and totaled 35 people in all. The lodge building where we met as a common room was heated by a fireplace so most of stayed wrapped in coats and scarves, but we sang and snacked and it was good to be with old friends again. The two groups met for a winter retreat in January 2012, and have stayed and worked together in Pikeville, Kentucky for a summer mission week for the past several years.
Pictures are in the Right Column box. Enjoy the memories!!
