Monticello, Indiana

We arrived at our first stop today just before 4:00 p.m. We would have been here much sooner, but the address the park lists in the Resorts of Distinction directory would not come up on any mapping program or our GPS, so I used the GPS coordinates. BIG MISTAKE...they took us to a nasty campground on the other side of town. So, I called the campground and she gave me a totally different street address which brought us directly here with the GPS. This is "Western Horizon Resorts - White Oaks on the Lake" Resort. It is a beautiful park right on Lake Freeman. We'll be here a week, so we'll have plenty of time to explore the area. At 5:00 tonight they had a free pizza "appreciation" dinner at the cafe. They even deliver pizzas to your campsite here. Although, FREE is even better! Bob was thrilled to not have to eat leftover goulash tonight. :-) I will get some pictures of the park tomorrow and post them here. We met a really nice couple from Niagara Falls, Ontario at dinner. They are on a 5-week trip to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, etc. They are only here for 1 night, but I have a feeling we'll be running into them again as we head west.

One other thing I need to mention. We got several "thumbs up" and smiles as we were traveling today. We're pretty sure it was because of the lettering on our back window that says "This IS the life!" Thanks, Bud!!!

This monarch butterfly landed on

Found this sign in Delphi, IN -
we were surprised to see it
here and not in Florida! :-)
