Taking Hunter and Keegan camping at Turkey Run State Park has been a tradition since Hunter was four years old. So today, 12 years later, we are set up at site #227 in Turkey Run. We like this site because it is on a small-circle road, under tall trees, close to the restrooms/showers. This has been a busy summer for everyone so this week before the boys return to school was the only available date. Unfortunately, it will be the hottest week of the summer...90's everyday and humid. Thankfully, we have air conditioning so we can, at least, get cool when we need to.
We left Decatur around 11:00 a.m. for the two-hour drive. The boys rode in the motorhome and I followed in the car. We stopped at the last rest area on Highway 36 before crossing into Indiana for a sandwich lunch before arriving at Turkey Run at 2:00 EDT. Our plan for the week was to hike in the morning when it would be cooler and swim in the afternoon. We found out that the pool is closed because the college kids who lifeguard and staff the pool have gone back to school. It would have been great to cool off at the pool but that wasn't to be.
Today was supposed to be the coolest of the five days, so we decided to be true campers and have a wiener roast and make s'mores before the daily heat keeps us inside for supper. It wasn't too bad and nothing tastes better than a roasted hot dog and s'mores. When it got dark, we went inside and played games like Uno and Old Maid while eating popcorn. Hunter and Papaw played a couple games of chess. That ended our day.
No pictures today; just the written diary. Tomorrow will be better.
