The beauty of Park County....

If you don't have any plans for October, you simply must plan to go to the Park County (Indiana) Covered Bridge Festival !  And for heavens sake, don't do it during the week  when there are only a few tens of thousands of people to annoy you--plan on the being there on the weekend with everyone else in Indiana!  Keep in mind that you have to start early in the morning since all roads leading to (and in) Park County are filled with yard sales and other tourist traps, so you can only go about 5 mph most of the way.  But the wait is worth it!  Look at the lovely outdoor scene I managed to capture.  I can't wait to go back and enjoy the peace and serenity of the great outdoors again this year.
