Day 76 – Salem IN

We picked up some picnic food at the store, and Bill, Joy, and I headed out for Medora IN. Bill had seen on a map that there was a covered bridge there that was the longest in the US. The new bridge is right next to it, and it really is long. We drove through Medora and read about the brick factory that used to be there. We drove out of town and found the remnants of it. Then we went to Starve Hollow Lake (a state park) to have our picnic. It wasn’t too crowded nor too hot, and we had a nice picnic.

From there we drove back to Salem and went to Beck’s Mill. It is an old water mill that has been restored. It wasn’t open today, so we just looked. Back at home we found that RH and Jamie (Bill’s brother and sister) had decided to have a barbeque at RH’s on Monday. So we went to the RV to get some food to contribute.

Tonight we had BLT’s for dinner with the wonderful home-grown tomatoes! It is so sad that we can’t get these tomatoes everywhere and all year long. Absolutely nothing is better than an Indiana tomato. I probably could have made myself sick eating too many of them! We have decided to spend a couple of nights at Mammoth Cave Tuesday and Wednesday and then two nights in Asheville on the way home. So we should be home on Saturday.

I added a few more photos to the Family Visits Link on the left.
