On the road again! Left suburban Indianapolis and off through corn country. Through the pretty town of Pendelton, and took a slight detour. Traveled through lits of corn fields and even met up with two combines! Eventually we made it back on a highway and off to our next stop. Spending the night at the Lodge at Olgebay Resort. This Resort is in Olgebay Park, the only self supporting municipal public park in the country. The park is a former summer ...

Left the cute town of Pella this morning. Such a pretty town, with its Dutch heritage, lovely homes, and several parks. Would love to see it in the spring with all the tulips!

Through several small towns, Peoria, Champagne, and points east. Crossed into Indiana, also rural and filled with c...

Continued out of town and through the mountains along the prettiest route . The beautiful stre...

Took it easy this morning, as our pass to get into the park was not until this afternoon. After breakfast, took a short walk along the lovely river path to a glass blowing shop. Beautiful glass creations made right here in the building. In fact there were two different ar...
