We may be abusing your kind attention to our adventure by failing to keep up to date with postings…..sorry.
We reluctantly moved on from Paynetown rec area, because we have routine medical appointments in Dayton. Spent a quick night by ourselves in Hardy Lake State Park; so weird to see all the campsites, all the facilities, lovely sunshine….and no one in the camp (not even staff).
Went south across the river into Kentucky for the weekend. Had to snake through Madison, IN to get to the bridge to cross. Only bridge for many miles. Busy Friday afternoon traffic, zig zagging through town and finally a last, narrow turn to face the bridge approach 100 feet away, narrow lead-up to narrow bridge, fairly sharp incline because bridge has to rise above big boats on river, and just as we drive past leading edge of bridgework….a small sign flashes past: “truck load limit 15 tons”.
Oh, you mean 7 tons less than we weigh?
Oh baby, what a crossing!
Still wiping the sweat from my brow….
So here we are 40 miles from the deserted Indiana park, and the campground loop we’re parked on with full hookups is filled!
Heading to Cincinnati today, Dayton tomorrow. Probably in town most of the week. Heading to Kokomo to do Thanksgiving next week with Robyn’s family (Jared’s driving over).
Our big news: we don’t have to report back to Dayton for three months! We’re going south!
