I'm Back!

Things are looking up. Daddy appears to be on the mend. He isn't in a lot of pain now and is getting around pretty good. He is eating again so I am sure that will help with his recovery. Mother is still going down pretty fast mentally, but that is to be expected. I have been staying over there a lot lately.

After I was laid off we thought that we would have more time to travel. While tent camping this spring was fun, I think that we are just getting too old to sleep on the ground. So, we went out this summer and shopped around and found a popup camper that we really liked. A few weekends ago we took our new camper out for his first trip. We decided to go to Big Bone Lick State Park in Union, KY....just because we had never been there. Here we are...all set up and loving it!
Site #10
The park was immaculate. The bathrooms were spotless. There are lots of places to hike in the park. There is a small museum, a herd of bison, and this display which depicts how the animals were trapped in the salt licks that brought them to the area.
We had a great time and a much needed few days away. We have decided that over the next several years that we would like to be able to say that we have camped in all of the Kentucky State Parks that have campgrounds. This was our 9th Kentucky State Park out of the 52. This weekend we are headed to My Old Kentucky Home State Park....number 10! I'll post pics when we get back.
