Today brought with it a firm reminder to be thankful for what we have; our homes, family and lives. We started the day by exiting a metropark in Ohio (our hidden campsite) where unbeknownst to us a tornado had touched down recently. It was obvious that branches were strewn about but a lot of clean up had already taken place. As we made our way to the main road we saw the true destructive force of the tornado. House after house with missing pieces and trees topped or felled by the wind.
In an odd twist (pun intended) of events we ended our day in Michigan. From our campsite we are overlooking yet another recent tornado touchdown alley. The tornado painted almost the same picture...debris strewn fields, houses lifted and dropped, cars totaled, and entire buildings destroyed. To bear witness to two such natural disaster sites in one day speaks volumes. My heart goes out to all those that experienced loss from the tornadoes.
On a happier note Jess and I have one of the coziest campsites yet! We are staying in an abandoned barn! No chickens in here. This lifestyle may just change me forever!
