Terri and I took a trip to Indiana to visit her friends and family.
We left out on October 7th and returned on October 22nd. On our first morning we stopped and had breakfast with Mo (Hunter 2) in Bixby. We stayed there until just after noon and then got on Historic Highway 66 and headed to Missouri. We boondocked the first night at Robert E. Talbot Conservation Area east of Cathage, MO. We had a bonfire and talked to a bow hunter that had pulled into the parking area. The next morning we continued follow Route 66 into Illinois. We spent the second night camping at Eldon Hazlet State Park on Lake Carlye. We had another bonfire and relaxed under the stars. On our third morning we jumped on I-44 and made good time going to Fort Wayne Indiana. We took the trailer out to a friends farm, parked it and stayed with friends. We visited, watched deer in their backyard and I discovered Black Squirrels. On the Monday the 14th we took the trailer north into Michigan. We spent two nights camping at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park, located just north of Grand Haven, MI. We traveled up and down the coast of Lake Michigan. This was the first time for me to see any of the Great Lakes. We visited a couple of lighthouses and a lighthouse museum. After the second night, very cold and strong wind a rain ran us out of Michigan. Since I had never been to Ohio, we made a quick rainy trip to Napoleon, OH. October 17th Here we stayed in a motel and left out the next morning for Fort Wayne again. We took the trailer back to the farm and spent four days visiting and then headed south to Indianapolis. We stayed in Indy for a couple of days visiting with Terri's family. On the last morning I got up early and drove the two hours back to Fort Wayne to get the trailer. When I got back to the motel Terri' had packed up and secured breakfast for me. We headed out and spent the night in Springfield Missouri before making it back home. All in all it was a great trip and I saw a lot of interesting sites and had a good time while I checked a few things off of my bucket list. On top of all of that Terri and I did not kill each other....... One side note: A few days after I got home I checked my credit card account online. I found a $336.00 charge from CCI Hotel Res. It was made after I returned home. I turned this into my credit card company. My point is always check your transactions, especially after travel....
