Herschel does Indiana

Postby BirdbyBird » Mon Oct 10, 2011 10:25 am

I watched her put our dog food and extra leashes in the bus. I am not responsible for her forgetting to put in her extra shoes. :) We haven't stopped at a Walmart yet so I guess it must not have gotten so cool that she needs any sox and shoes. For now that sandals are working.

Southern Indiana looks pretty this time of year.

Remi and I got to go out in the big kayak. Remi said he felt so much braver because I was with him. I think he is finally figuring out that the lady is not going to randomly throw him in the lake.

Image

There were neat things to see out on the water. And apparently there are numerous creeks that drain into the lake so that the water carries a lot of silt. The lake only allows electric motors and .....well paddles. :) Parts sections were fairly shallow probably because of the run off from the creeks over time. We did see some big fish jumping after something not too far from the kayak. So I guess the fish like this place, too.

We paddled under the small bridge so that we could check out the small creek.

Image

ANd then coming back out I could look out onto a bigger part of the lake.

Image

Nice wild flowers along the bank.

Image

And here was a very busy squirrel along the waterfront. I told Remi that Stuart would have been over the side if he had been floating along with us. You know how his brain shorts out at the sight or even the thought of a squirrel! :roll:

Image

Walking in the park I found this Bluebird box. There were several to be found attached to the back of some of the camp ground signs. Sure made good use of an already existing post.

Image

Here is a picture of a nice lady named Carol I got to meet outside of Nashville, IN. She and Bill (The Driver) live in a wonderful house filled with all sort of neat things from their trips and with a beautiful view of Indiana autumn leaves.....and a hungry herd of beautiful deer that come to feast on the corn that they put out below the screened in porch. And, no, I can not explain the look on the lady's face...but it was the better one of Carol....just saying, woof! :o :)

Image

(Thanks Carol and Bill for allowing us to stop by and visit. Dinner was as wonderful as the great company and conversation. And let Bill know, we focus on Alaska this year and then will have to think seriously about heading south of the border in the future! :) )

Well here are Remi and Stuart listening attentively to what my plans are for today. I told Stuart it was probably his turn to ride along in the kayak. He is so excited but I bet the lady has to work extra to keep him in the kayak. And that the kayak will have more water in it from draining off his coat for the times that he does get to swim! Silly Stuart dog.

Woof, Woof and a wag until next time,

What a great tour Herschel. Glad you all got to meet Carol and Bill and see their beautiful house. Roe was disappointed that we didn't kayak at Lake Chicot, but there was no access from our sites. We would have had to carry the kayak to another part of the park where there is a boat launch. And besides, no one else had a kayak with them. Looks like a nice place you were.

Good job Herschel! Looks like an amazing place to chill out and of course always nice to visit with friends. Sure did miss you at the AR GTG and the twins were asking about you. They said I was useless to take them out to see stuff. Frankly, I just can't be bothered. Keep having fun with the GHL, it looks like the ladies have trained her well as far as getting out and having fun in the short bus.

errrrr's to you, Chewy
