Kings of Cumberland

We are fast approaching the 1 year anniversary of Camp Freedom. I discovered the real estate listing on the Internet around this time last year and it seemed to fit all the parameters we had established in terms of location, size and price. We quickly arranged a visit and just as quickly, we all four decided that it was the right place for this project. It just felt right. I really don't believe in a god or fate, but I do believe that when you're on a positive path in your life, there are signs of it all around if you just pay attention. There have been many serendipitous events surrounding our acquisition and enjoyment of Camp Freedom that have always made me feel very confident in this decision. Thor often reminds me that we happened to sign the purchase agreement for the property on his 10th birthday. The town of Cumberland which Camp Freedom is located in is nicknamed "the Island City," which also happens to be the nickname of Minocqua, WI, which is a town that also holds great significance to me. Ray ran into a man at work wearing a Rutabaga Festival t-shirt, which is Cumberland's main summer festival. So imagine my delight when finding our family name in some town history on the Cumberland's Chamber of Commerce website. Not only are the names familiar but the spirit of the characters involved really resonate. Please check out the link and pay special attention to the last paragraph. Happy 4th of July to you all. I hope you are all fully embracing your freedoms! http://www.cumberland-wisconsin.com/
