A visit from our special friends to our little corner of the world — Blue Mountain and its neighbouring areas — deserves a post of its own. These friends drove all the way from Hamilton, Ohio, a good nine hours on the road, and it only took them five years to finally announce that they wanted to invite themselves over!
They weren’t the only ones who came to join the fun. Three other friends, who had visited before, decided to tag along for the adventure. After all, good company and a little wandering are always worth repeating!
Judging by the photos below, I’d say their wanderings around our little town and its surroundings were well worth the wait. And judging by the smiles, I think they enjoyed their visit as much as we enjoyed having them!
