Crandon was a big mileage day for us, and Carol and I were especially concerned when we hit a detour on our route. Even though it was off our map, we were taken around a beautiful lake and only added a couple of miles. We were able to regroup with Pam in Crandon to find the home of Ralph and Sharon Walentowski. There was some miscommunication and Pam disappeared from our view around the first corner. Carol and I had only the information: there is a deck out front. We pulled up to the first house with a deck and were greeted by fierce sounding dogs and a young woman who was obviously not expecting us. She tried to help us and we explained that we only knew we were looking for a deck, she had a deck so we stopped. Then I remembered the people we were staying with were members of the United Methodist Church, but that did not help either. We continued down the road and finally saw the correct home as the rain poured down.
Ralph and Sharon immediately welcomed us into their home and family. Sharon plied us with delicious homemade food and cold drinks. They also had their son, daughter in law and granddaughter staying with them while we were there. Sharon and Ralph kept everyone entertained and happy.
Another happy ending to a perfect day.
Sharon and Ralph with family, Crandon WI
