Mounds of History
Indiana’s Mounds State Park happened to be in the right place at the right time for a 2-night stay as we traveled east. We’ve continued to be pleasantly surprised with our somewhat random park choices.

Reg is working on his end-of-trip wrap-up post with all the facts, figures and details I don’t bother myself with. If you have questions, you’ll find the answers there! I’ll repost it…
