Indianapolis, Indiana – Lake Haven Retreat

As you can see by the map we are progressing diagonally across the United States – we feel some remorse that we are traveling through so much of the country and not seeing anything – it reminds me of the quote that says, “Thanks to the US highway system you can travel quickly across the entire country and see nothing.”  In spite of this our objective is to spend as much time as we can in the Maritime Provinces of Canada – that is our prize.

Today was another long day of 360 miles but the next two days should be much easier.  We are pulling over into rest areas more frequently to walk around and stretch our legs so the trip takes longer but we enjoy it more.  The last rest area we stopped at a guy in a motor home pulled in but did not stop in time.  PRC

 

 

The drive from Wichita, Kansas to Indianapolis has been very green, all shades of green. Lots of lakes, streams, crops and churches.   Sadly, all this beautiful green comes at a price – humidity and no-see-ums (teeny tiny bugs).

In case I forgot that we are in the “Bible Belt’ I had an abrupt reminder as we passed this humongous cross off the freeway.

We are at a very pretty RV Park in the south section of Indianapolis. There’s a lake with Canadian geese and their goslings.  Peter says it is a Canadian entourage that flew down here to greet a returning Canadian as he gets closer to the border.  I saw a killdeer bird.  It brings attention to itself to protect it’s nest by pretending to be wounded.  The sound of all the birds has been lovely the last few days.

We are getting accustomed to our routine. Tomorrow we don’t have to get up so early. This is because we don’t want to leave during the morning rush hour. Tomorrow will be our last stop in the US.  As Fancy Nancy says, two more “get up’s” before Canada.

Next post will be from Sterling State Park in Monroe, Michigan.  JY
