Artist Retreat in Williston, Florida

Williston Crossing is one of the remote places we like to tell people about.

Following the coach through cow and horse fields of northern Florida.

A mill by the side of the pool!

Here we were cut off from the world--there was no phone service, no Internet, and no TV reception. On the particular week we were there (June 15 to 22nd) it rained almost every day.  Otherwise we got out to swim or ride bikes. Once a day we rode up to the top of the hill to use the phone.

This must be a really fun place during peak season! But mostly we worked on our music inside the coach.

What a party this must be during peak season!


Being cut off from civilization is never a problem for people like us! We just took up our artist's tools and got to work, Kim studying and selecting his new set of sound tracks and Dede arranging a jazz version of "You Raise Me Up."  We took turns preparing meals for each other so the other one could keep working. ...the kind of work we love: music, music and more music!

 Staying for a week in small space with just one other person is not a good way to "get to know them" but rather, a good way to confirm that what you know about them is what you like.  It was a beautifully quiet and productive week.  Kind of like the quiet before the storm! (After this we head up north to see all the friends and family we can squeeze in.)

The phase where we parked our coach was the most mature.

 

There were three phases to the park: this phase has just received infrastructure (road, sewer, electric, water).
 

 

The second phase was just getting a laundry and bath house.

 It's inspiring to be in an area of new growth and to see the excitement and momentum of progress!
