Indiana, Batesville October 17-24

Indian Lake Campground is about 56 miles south east of Indianapolis.  It is a very large campground with about 400 sites.   Once again we had some downtime because of rain. We met a really nice family camping next to us from Batesville. We really enjoyed sharing  campfires with Keith and Pam on several occasions.  On Saturday between 3 and 5 pm the campground had it's Halloween party for the kids.  We had about 180 of them visit our camper looking for goodies. 

Batesville, Indiana

Kay and I took a drive to the little town of Oldenberg, IN which was just a few miles north of Batesville.  They call it the town of spires. 

This sign will tell you the story of the following pictures

The Convent

The church next to the convent

 The fire hydrant across the street from the convent.  I thought it was very cute.

 Some of the quiet roads out of Oldenburg

 Nice little stream, but not big enough to kayak.

 Typical farm of Indiana.

 A soybean field with the fall colors in the trees.  The camera doesn't pick up color as well as the eye but it is beautiful anyway.

 Back at the campground there was a Halloween party for the kids in the campground.  Since we didn't have any candy on hand we had to make a fast trip to town.  There must have been about 180 kids show up.  The following are some of the kids.

 Here is our friend Halie.  They had the campsite next to us.

 This little girl was in a big hurry.

 Here is one of the youngest ones.  He never did wake up.

 Some views of the campsite

We had a very pleasant stay at this campground.  We are adding this one to our list to come back to someday.  Our list is really getting big.  There have been so many good places to stop and explore in the states we have been to so far yet there are so many left to explore.
