Hubby and I have decided to experience a little more regular adventure in our lives. While nursing at the county hospital can seem like plenty of adventure most of the time, it is the kind of adventure that requires a lot of attention to detail and ends up being the high stress sort. As for Chris, his daily adventure consists mostly with manipulating very expensive equipment as he searches for clues in the mysterious and powerful kidney. Also sort of high stress.
This weekend we are going to Shipshewana, IN. Not adventuresome you say? Well it is when you plan to stay at a campground owned by "a couple of elderly people" and plan on exploring Amish-land backroads on your bicycle and when you plan on visiting the Gene Stratton-Porter house which amazingly has no website. Actually, none of these places do. The research was done with the good old telephone and live conversation. Well, I did look at a Google map when the gentleman from Riverside campground was telling me how to get there. The idea for the trip even came from a BOOK at the library called "The Best Bike Rides in the Midwest." I am thinking Chris will be less afraid to camp in a place populated more by the Amish than regular-old-heartlanders. We'll see.

So are you driving and then cycling or just riding your bike to the middle of nowhere?
Both of Gene Stratton Porter's homes have web sites.

Which one did you visit?
Thanks for the info. Too bad we didn't make it to the Gene Stratton-Porter home. Maybe next time.
