Brown County State Park

We took a few days off last week and went down to Brown County State Park and to Nashville, Indiana.

On the way we stopped at Hickory Hills BBQ in Edinburgh and picked up some sandwiches and slaw. We then headed over to Ogle Lake at the Brown County State Park.


We chowed down on the BBQ. You know you're eating good BBQ when you get it on your trunk.

We then decided to walk around the lake. There are several different walking trails at the park.


Anita commented about how us being noisy would keep any snakes away. Wrong...

Next stop was the fire tower. I vowed to get up further than the last time we were there. I did not make it any further. In fact, I stopped at the same place as last time. In my defense, it's a little shaky.


We then went down to Strahl lake. It was pretty crowded there, so we decided to find a quiet place to read for a while.


We pulled over and set up our chairs and read for a bit.


Next we stopped by the Nature Center, which was pretty cool. They had snakes, and turtles, and a beehive, and lots of other things.


Finally we headed to the hotel, the Brown County Inn. We've stayed there quite a bit over the years. During the summer, we just camp out by the pool.



Ok, I have to admit it, I am addicted to the claw game in the arcade by the pool. Why? Because I'm actually pretty good at it. We have amassed a rather large collection of toys that we will be donating this year.
