Tired out already

Indiana

Our trip to Florida started out at 6:30 am....a little later than we thought but early enough!

We travelled as far as Austin, Indiana where we found on the map a little green symbol saying there was a State park with camping. It looked closest to the highway so we went looking for it. On our way to finding it, we decided we were getting ourselves into the middle of nowhere so thought we'd turn around. As we turned and stopped on a sideroad, a truck turned behind us and was about to carry on down the road when he stopped and backed up. I watch too many CSI type shows and of course my mind wandered to places it shouldn't! The man was very kind and told John where to go (no, not that "where to go") so we carried on down the road we turned on! That turned out to be a narrow paved road with many curves and hills! We were really starting to wonder if we should turn around and go back to the civilized highway LOL We decided once we got to the end of the roller coaster ride, we'd go down to the park and see how it was. We drove up to the office and a lady came to the window and said that she had been sleeping until we drove up (in a southern drawl....I didn't think we were that far south, but apparently we were) She asked if we were from out of state and we said yes....she said that will be $7.00 and the site would be $17.35. John thought she meant it would be $17.35 total until after he'd paid and she asked for the extra $7.00. It was quite interesting but we paid and continued on. The park looked very nice as we drove in and it was. We had a nice camp site and there were quite a few in the campground. Of course, I had quite a few random thoughts of Criminal Minds type scenarios that could play out in the Hillbilly type setting....kept me awake for part of the night LOL.....I think I need a break from these shows!
