No, this is not the gulf coast of Texas! This is site #54 at the Pioneer Family Campground in Lake Village, Indiana. I have rented this site for January 1 – December 31, 2011. I’m trying to picture it minus the snow. :) Believe me, I won’t be there when any snow is around!After wandering around the country for almost five years, I’ve decided to spend the summer closer to family. My daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Dennis, and two of my granddaughters, Avery and Phoebe, live about 30 miles away in Dyer, IN. Robyn and Dennis made a trip down to the campground today to check it out for me. (You can only tell so much from a website.) They both thought my rig would fit in well here, and there are no neighbors on the left. I had thought of staying for only a month or two, but the monthly rate is $500. I can have the site for the year for $975, so were I to stay for the whole season, that would average out to less than $10/night. It’s 45 miles from the Chicago area where my brothers and sister live, so I bit the bullet and made the reservation today.
I won’t arrive there until May, and still have the option to make trips to other areas during the summer like the UP of Michigan. This idea is growing on me, and Dennis reminded me that they are installing a heated outdoor pool in their backyard this spring. So, when I go to their house to do my laundry, I can spend the waiting time taking a dip in the pool. :) Not too shabby! I never thought I’d be spending that much time in Indiana, but I’m pretty excited about it. Any ideas of things to see and do in northwest Indiana would be greatly appreciated…
Tonight’s sunset was the best so far this year at Anahuac. Please notice the American kestrel in the upper right corner. :) Just had to sneak in a bird…Thanks for stopping by…. talk to you later, Judy
