Thursday…..
Arrived in Evansville, IN area early afternoon……however, it appears that some better cartographers are needed in making Indiana maps!!!! Even mapquest was wrong……it took us over an hour and several SHARP turn arounds to finally find the County Park…..Burdette Park. A real nice and clean park with RV camping , aquatic center, ball fields, mini golf, etc., etc. The price is good($18.00) for full hook-ups, so all that is needed are better instructions, better maps, and a better system for naming their roads in this area of the state.
After relaxing for a few hours and a walk thru the large park, Jeremy (our youngest son) arrived and before long we were being whisked around Evansville with the top of his convertible down and the blue skies above. A clean and neatly kept city of 110,000.….very impressive for this size of town which lies on the northern bank of the Ohio River.
He is the campaign manager for the Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress from the 8th District of Indiana. The candidate dropped by TheHowserHouse this afternoon to introduce himself and to meet us. A great guy with great looks and full of charm…..glad he is running and not me.
Went to dinner at a pizza and microbrewery in town. Wonderful specialty pizzas and very good dark brew!!!!!! Then off we went to the waterfront for a quick trip to the local casino where we dropped some cash, and we were not winners…..as usual.
Back to the Park…..found it this time w/out any difficulty. Still some strange ways to get here over some weird road connections.
Soooo, think I will let my body sink into the bed, read a new book, and enjoy the real quiet out here. And it IS quiet.
