The Great Adventure: October 2010

It's October in Indiana..one of the most beautiful seasons of the year if not the most beautiful (and the best month of the year for birthdays!) Time for a Fall trip to Crane to see what changes had taken place from the earlier summer trip. You may be thinking, "there they go again!" Well, you'd only be half right! Mom and I, once again, "loaded" the van as the naysayers looked on and made negative comments. (We won't name names here!) Although our mission was successfully accomplished, unfortunately, the term "overloaded" may have been more applicable and due to the whining and noises coming from some part of the van (oh, maybe that was the guys!) - we were forced to upack and divide the spoils between TWO vehicles.

Me with EVERYTHING overloaded in the van!

So off we go down the road in our two vehicles. The guys in the van in the lead vehicle and Mom and me in the Tracker in the follow vehicle. (We won't go so far as to say that was a mistake..so I'll not digress here...but should I say Dale Hollow...Mmmm....1987ish? Anyone? Anyone, now?) Anyway, we made it to Crane!

Our cabin at Crane and the "second" follow vehicle.

The fall colors at Crane were vivid and the water was beautiful. The days warm and sunny and the nights cool and perfect for a campfire. The cooking awesome...the fishing? Not so great, but you know us...fish we did anyway!

Mom and Dad fishing away...oops, maybe I mean dozing away.

Check out the beautiful fall foliage on the lake. Ahhhh! Fantasticly awesome scenery!

At night to stave off the cold and to avoid certain death by wild animals (such as cheetahs and bears that roam freely here!) we built a huge campfire.
