So Anna and I celebrated our one month anniversary a little bit this weekend by going to going camping in Madison, Indiana. Located in the southern foothills of Indiana is Clifty Falls State Park. Anna went to this park as a child to see the falls and hiked the trails because her mom is a nature nut. She remembered it being really awesome. Well awesome it was, there were trees down everywhere we went and all of the trails were closed. We were allowed to walk on the paved roads leading to the trails which was fun just because of all of the trees that were down. There was wildlife everywhere, we saw a deer which was just watching us go by and many squirrels, there was a red fox that scampered off once we stumbled upon it. We saw all kinds of different bugs that were weird looking they were just hanging out. There were lots of bees out and about, evidently bees love sycamore sap. At Clifty Falls they have a little bit of a bee problem. I got stung. It hurt real bad. Anyways we got some great pictures check out Anna’s facebook to see them.
Madison was cool though. It is kind of like two different towns in one. The older lower town which has over 150 historic sites which is on the Ohio River and the new part of town, the hilltop. This has Wal-Mart, Kroger, Sonic, Staples, all of the modern day stores. But who cares about that stuff, the lower town was really cool. It had an apothecary, a couple of coffee shops, Hinkles Hamburgers (which is like White Castle but better), some neat antique shops and an expensive store (I think it was the Mercantile) that had bunches of kitchen nic-naks and household goods (fun place to look at).
So anyways we had fun with the trees down and the park in bad shape we didn’t even get charged to stay there, and there was tons of free firewood laying around the campgrounds so we had plenty to burn.
That’s all for now,
