Aldersgate Camp Ravenna, KY

     I spent a week at this camp.  It is nestled in the hills of Kentucky and is the most beautiful camp I've ever seen- setting, buildings, upkeep, etc.  I painted interior walls of bathhouse, raked gravel after flooding rains, and helped serve and clean up after meals for special events.   

     The camp is on the site (and now caretakers) of a former town, Fitchburg.  The largest charcoal iron smelting furnace in the world was the main part of that town.  The remains are now a National Historic site.

     After completing my week here, I drove an hour and spent the weekend with nephew and family.  We toured the historic area, visited a Shaker village, and enjoyed displays and shops of products by Kentucky artisans.  

     I will now be traveling and visiting in the home area of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
