Moved to Indiana

(Cicero, IN) Hi 73 Lo 49 -- It was a very chilly start this morning, but the sun came up and it didn't take long to at least be bearable. I wish there was a way to capture this cool weather and save it for August/September when we get to Texas.

We went to the Cardinal Creek Golf Club here on base for their breakfast buffet. The food was terrible, but at least it was better than cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast before we leave. We were in for at least five hours on the road so we wanted more to eat than just a bowl of cereal or toast. We left at 9:00 and made good time to Indianapolis. Our destination was White River Campground in Cicero, about 20 miles north of Indy. We stayed there in July 2010 and loved it.

It was neat to see all the planting of crops on our way. We get to see crops from beginning to end in our travels. It was smooth sailing till we got to the outskirts of Indianapolis, where the traffic really picked up. It's sometimes hard following Jim in heavy traffic. Lane changes can be a challenge. Sometimes he finds an opening and moves over a lane, leaving me stuck, and sometimes I have to move over behind him and slow everyone down so he can move over. But we made it in good time. We went through our set up routine then just relaxed.

After dinner we took a walk around the campground.

Our site. We're backed right up to the White River.













The view out our back window. The White River isn't much more than a creek right behind us.













The view to the left side of our site...













...and the right side.













Some more views of the campground.

Another trip, another view out our back window. We love this full timing life!

That looks like a wonderful park! I'm putting it on my list for when we go through there this summer. Thanks!

Of course that river looks small, you've been looking at the mississippi for a month, everything is small in comparison

Isn't it great having a new view out your window when ever you want one. Just think how many views you have had out those back windows since you have been on the road. How many views did you have when you owned a stix and brix?

I'm talking a look at this park for our stop on the way to Michigan in May. Glad I saved it to my spreadsheet as the distance between our stops works out.
