Love Those State Parks

Love those state parks. Spending the night in Buck Creek State Park in Springfield, OH. It was supposed to be only 4 miles from the Interstate, but we went about 5 miles on the most manicured curvy road after that to reach the campground - wide swaths of lawn mowed on either side. In the campground itself, there were grass lawns, lots of trees, and stayed in the tent section for the quiet since it is Saturday night and there is a reservoir here. (Are you sensing a theme in these state parks?) They had a cute outdoor movie theater made of a couple pieces of plywood painted white and are going to show Ice Age tonight.

Less than 700 miles from our destination (A&M, this means you! Fair Warning!) We have toyed with the idea to go for it, but our advanced age has its compensations - we are not in a hurry! So, will stay somewhere tomorrow night and be there Monday afternoon.

The Interstates were boring with lots of construction. We miss the small roads. We were within 60 miles of the Airstream factory and saw several Airstreams. Someday we'll have to take Twink back to visit her birthplace.

Here is the giant cross made out of aluminum siding - I think right across the Indiana border.
