Traveling Again

After a long period in West Virginia, we’re back on the road. Our first stop was at Alum Creek State Park. I loved sunrise. The fish were jumping at the end of the pier. One boat just circled in the area and kept catching fish.

As we were driving near Van Wert Ohio, we saw LOTS of wind mills. It looked like more, but the sign at the rest area says there are 152 2-MW wind turbines. It is an amazing view. Lots of energy being generated without CO2 formation. Very cool!

Today we visited Indiana Dunes National Seashore. It is our 40^th state and 123^rd national park/monument/etc. The trail had a lot of stairs. But the stairs were the best part. Walking in the sand was difficult. We walked in shoes for a while but decided that walking barefoot was better. That worked until we left the trees. The sun and sand were VERY hot. No wonder so many people were swimming in Lake Michigan. BTW, we could see Chicago in the distance.
