INDIANA 2011

Click around on the clock above--enlightening.

Route and stops through Indiana.

This is the farm where Judy grew up.  Her brother, Jack

now owns the home place.  Notice the daylilies on the right.

There are those daylilies again.

Our motorhome is parked out back but not in view.

This is Judy's sister (Catherine) and brother-in-law's (Lauren) place.

  We wanted you to see how close the properties are.

In fact, Judy has three brothers, a sister, and two nieces

 who live within two miles of this location.

This is great nephew, Lincoln Paul.

Lincoln's big sister, Aspen

With self-applied lipstick!

Uncle Eric (Dennis' brother) and Lincoln.

We spent several days here.  It is close to Bloomington,

IU, famous tourist area Nashville, and Brown County

State Park.

Lake Monroe, a Corp of Engineers lake, in the National Forest.

Our site in the NF--we are smoking salmon for dinner.

And toasting for the camera.

It's ready!

YUM.

Indiana University campus, one of the most beautiful in the country.

Just quoting the brochure.

Here is some beauty.

Bloomington is the home of Hoagy Carmichael.

If interested you should be able to read the sign.

The other side of the sign.

                                                              

Dennis and Hoagy writing songs on IU's campus.

Downtown Nashville, IN.

We could not find a country honky-tonk here like the other Nashville.

  However, we did visit bluegrass music's creator Bill Monroe's

 auditorium and museum in Bean Blossom.

The tourist trapped in his native habitat.

Crafty, happy reindeer.

Bean Blossom's covered bridge on the way to town.

The next seven pictures.

This is the first two-lane covered bridge we've seen.

Judy, in the brush near the red covered bridge.

A HUGE pool at the state park.  There were only 9 swimmers.

(over built?)

Hiking around one of the lakes in the park.

An old fire tower that you can still climb (and we did),

now doubling as a cell tower.

From the top.

Dennis is fixing the short in our electrical connection between vehicles.

Our site in Indian Lakes TT.  When I took this picture, it was

104 degrees.  (See final picture.)  I had to make several adjustments in Picasa

 so it would not look too hot.

Through the spinning wheel!  We played a little.

  Judy wins about half of the time.

It seems fair that she allows me a few victories.

Ahhh!

HELP!
