My first Hi to the Guy...
I'm heading in your "general" direction Tuesday (if going to Indiana could be called "general")
For the past 25 years (missing about 4 or 5) I've enjoyed the Covered Bridge fest in Parke County. (Madison county? Scoff-scoff--they have a total of 6 bridges. Parke Co.? Try THIRTY-ONE)
Go to relax, eat cheap (gain about 5 pounds), enjoy the melodrama (parkeplayers.com), chase the little dimpled ball around (the only course I've ever played where, after driving the ball, you take your cart through a covered bridge to reach the green), shop the hundreds of booths, and generally unwind. Been lucky to have a standing reservation at a bed-n-breakfast right in the center of the activities. I was fortunate on one occasion to secure the only room with a 4-poster bed, and my (former) lady did what you see below--thank heavens for the whiffle-ball gag or the owners and guests would have called the cops.
Whenever the car passes the stateline, I have a tradition of cranking up the opening credits theme from "Hoosiers."
My only regret for this visit is being not having someone to enjoy the proper usage of the 4-poster ropes with me...well, there's always next year!
