Indiana

Tuesday June 11th

We arrived at Mounds State Park in Anderson Indiana around 7:00pm, and of course it was raining!!  Drove over a pretty cool bridge along the way, I forget where it was exactly but I'm pretty sure it was as we were getting into Indiana.


We are still just following this rain all the way.  This park is actually huge!!
We are only staying one night here so we really didn't even un-hook, but here we are
After looking over the trail maps I was excited to do some trail hikes in the morning, they had tons of trails.  We took Jemma for a short walk to stretch her legs, had dinner, and called it a night.

The next morning we had breakfast and headed out to the trails!!  They call this park "Mounds" because of the man made mounds that the archaeologist found way long ago, they believe that some tribes used them as either burial grounds or as like stages for religious ceremonies.  I, however, was skeptical that they were even man made, they were nothing really special to see, but I used my imagination and I suppose they could have been made by Indians.

These were very nice trails, well maintained, some had boardwalks, some were along the White river.  We hiked 3.5 miles, and headed back to pack up and head out to Elkhart.

We arrived at the campground in Elkhart a few hours later, and this campground was nothing special, basically an open field, but we were only staying one night so it wasn't to bad.  We have an appointment at 9am tomorrow to take the camper in and get some warranty work done.  That's the only reason we stayed here in Elkhart.
Got a pretty bad rain storm while there, with a tornado warning in the next county, needless to say, that kind of freaked me out, so i went online and bought us a weather alert radio.  I think every full timer should have one!!

Thursday June 13th
We got up and packed up, and headed out to drop off the camper, and had a long boring wait until they were finished doing the work, but they finished around 3:30 so we decided to make the 2.5 hour hike to my Mom's house in Michigan!
