Charlestown State Park

DOGS, FRANKFORT, & MEXICAN FOOD.

Day 386 – It was overcast today, but it had quit raining. The high temperature at 72 degrees was perfect. This morning we went by the post office in Charlestown to mail a package and then drove over to Louisville.

BOO! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Day 385 – It continued to rain last night and most of today. This morning we went to Whole Foods and bought a few supplies. Then we spent hours going shelf-by-shelf through the two Half-Price Books Stores in Louisville. One of our favorite pastimes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAYLE! WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT YEAR AHEAD.

Day 384 – As soon as the sun came up, people were packing up and leaving the campground this morning. It looks like it may be nice and quiet for the rest of our stay here. Maybe the girls will forgive us now.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Singing Hills RV Park and Campground, Cave City, KY.

To: Charlestown State Park, Charlestown, Indiana (IN).

Day 383 – It was 45 degrees at 6:55 a.m. this morning when we got up. Our drive today from the campground in Cave City was north on mostly interstate highways through Kentucky. We’ll be staying in Indiana (IN) north and a little east of Louisville, KY, across the Ohio River.

LAST DAY IN LOUISVILLE.

Day 36 – We’re leaving tomorrow, so we got some things done at the RV in the morning, then left for Louisville. It was a gorgeous, warm day. Yes, WARM. It felt so good to have the sun beaming down, 65 degrees, and no wind. When we got to Pam’s house, she and the dogs were sunbathing in the back yard. Everyone was happy and relaxed.

HALF-PRICE BOOKS.

Day 35 – We hung around the RV in the morning, cuddling with the cats to keep warm; 30 degrees this morning. The high today was 45. After eating our leftovers from last night for lunch, we left for Half-Price Books Store in Louisville. There are two of these stores here, and we always return the books we’ve read during the year and get a new batch of reading material. We usually can spend hours roaming the aisles.

GOING TO THE HORSES, TOO.

Day 34 – When we left at 9:45 a.m. this morning, it was raining with a little sleet. You cannot stop a horse lover from riding a horse – neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow; or something like that. We drove to Louisville and picked up Pam to take her to her horse-back riding class. It was east about a little over 30 minutes in the direction of Shelbyville before we got out to the horse country. Even in the nasty weather, it was beautiful – with rolling green hills & horse farms of many acres surrounded by black picket fences as far as we could see.

GOING TO THE DOGS.

Day 34 – The high today was only 42 degrees; it was sunny. We hung around the RV in the morning, then went over to Louisville to see Pam and the pups.

CHARLESTOWN, IN/LOUISVILLE, KY.

Day 33 – Our car was done by 10 a.m. but we waited until after 1 p.m. for the shuttle to pick Rob up to take him to get the Honda. We both worked on a couple of projects, so we didn’t mind the wait. The windy, rainy weather continued and with it came a cold front. The campground started filling up for the weekend.

CHARLESTOWN, INDIANA – DAY 2.

Day 32 – We left home in NY one month ago. It feels like much longer than that – that’s good! We can’t help but wonder where we’ll be writing from one month from now.
