Back Home Again in Indiana

We crossed over the swollen Wabash River today and back into our home State of Indiana.  You just can't help but to break into that famous song, "Back Home Again in Indiana".

We turned north and drove through Terre Haute which in the home of Indiana State University.  Craig and I attended Indiana University near Bloomington. This part of Indiana is on eastern time, so we lost another hour.  We will get it back once we get up to the northwest corner of the State.  Crown Point stays on Central time.  It's confusing, I know.

We found a nice campground near Bloomingdale.  We only drove 143 miles today and it rained on us the entire time.  It let up a bit just as we pulled in to Peaceful Waters Campground that also has an Old Goat Trading Post.

We had some lunch and Craig remembered that we had two frozen lemon squares that Mom had made for us.  Wow!  They were SO good.  Thanks, Mom!

Not "knee high by the 4th of July", but man high by the 8th.  I hope it will dry out in time for harvest.

We are just a few miles down Old 41 from Turkey Run State Park.  This place is full for the Covered Bridge Festival, but today, not so much.  It's really a beautiful piece of property with a nice pond.

Cabins for rent.

 

Someone has great talent with making carving out of old tree stumps.

Dave and Kathy own the place and Dave started showing us pictures of very large bass that were caught in the pond.  When Craig heard one was 8 lb 8 oz, he decided to wet a line.

I did some fishing, too, but we didn't catch anything.  The rain has the pond pretty stirred up.  

Aren't these carvings amazing?

Tomorrow we drive down the road a few miles to visit with Ron and Carolyn.  We met them nearly two years ago in a campground in Arizona.  They live in North Salem, Indiana.  We so look forward to seeing them and catching up on family happenings.

Blessings,

Kathy
