Indiana, Ohio and into New York

Part of the Ausable Chasm in New York near Keeseville.
Ducks in a row. There was a parent and 24 little ducks near the dock at our friends cabin.
Deer in the lane leading to the cabin.
The dogs were swimming with the owners. Ms Watson was doing a lunge. LOL
Sunset in the Adirondacks was beautiful.
The Loon was dancing across the water. Their calls are eerie and beautiful.
Don't know what kind of bird this was near our campground, but it was colorful.
We saw this odd van on one of our travels.
The moon was so bright I could not resist the photo.
A couple of buildings in Syracuse N Y-- old and neat.
This tree would have made a neat hiding place for some child in hide and seek.
One of the campgrounds had a garden and it's guard.
Lighthouse near Lake Erie in OH
The Lake Erie fishing trip and the wonderful walleye Bil caught. Really good eating.
The following are cars in the Kruse Auto Museum -- Auburn, Indiana. Some of the cars were designed for movies and TV by Carl Casper. There is a site on line for the museum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZTiKxcrN2E











Very nice hearse with a casket inside.


One of the many fields of flowers across the states.
The statue in Auburn IN - perhaps they are a square dance city.
Smile and wave--you never know what you will get.

Missouri, Illinois and Indiana

One of the old downtown's we passed through.
The reason for being in Indiana, the family reunion for Bil. This was only a small part of the Frederick family.
More of the beauty the Lord provides as we travel around this awesome country.


This covered bridge from 1880 is on what was once the main road near Nashville Indiana.
This was the local jail in Nashville IN in 1897.
The local Stone Hinge in one of the cities we visited.
Once upon a time someone called this home, now only the critters live here.

Overlook of the river and dam down the road from the campground in Nashville In.
Skyline of St Louis as seen through the arch.
Large water plume in the distance from our campground in St Louis.
A visit to the post office in this area was a new experience. I had never seen one with the postmasters behind bullet proof glass. You had to pass things through a small trough like at the bank. If you had a package there was a large pass through with double windows to raise and retrieve them. Out of there in a hurry, that was me.
Passed this large cross and gave thanks for surviving the trip to the post office and life in general.

Lack of maintenance and your RV could look like this.
Who would have though we would find the Titanic in Branson Missouri?
At Louis was having Marine week the week we were there, The flags and marine copter can be see through the arch.
For the next few days the marines flew the copter with men attached to the hanging rope. Double click the photo and you can see the men hanging clearer.
