A Bit of Indiana History....Post Views....18,401

 Monday we checked out of French Lick Hotel and hurried to catch a ride on the trolley.....
(though I was caught without water in the midst of a gnarly acid reflex attack.....too much BBQ sauce the night before?) 


Soon we were in our car and driving through limestone hills
to Spring Mill State Park for a bit of Indiana history.   












Spring Mill is an authentic southern Indiana pioneer village of 100 people in the early 1800's centered around the grist mill run by a huge water wheel.  









           water runs in from a never freezing spring      

                                 

Grinding corn for meal....

 rope bed 


I remember swinging on  tree ropes like these with my foster brother, Jim, when I was in early grade school......

this chair made out of those ropes?

No trip to Indy is complete without a burger at 
Cheeseburger in Paradise....

                                                             AND
                                               chocolate nachos.....
                                                          Oh, Yah!!


Time to wave goodbye to Indy for another year......
On to Milwaukee.....



This has been a good 2 "bit of Indy history" days in the life of Grandma G.

"Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation."  (Psalms 17:18)
