The Indiana State Fair and Fishing the Bourbeuse

 




Aug 5, 2025 - We're headed to Missouri to visit Deb, and Aunt Gerry & Uncle Gene are coming for a weekend of camping and fishing.  But we haven't made it to the Indiana State Fair yet, so we'll ride our bikes down for a few hours before we head out this afternoon.


It's $2 Tuesday, so $2 entrance and $2 fair food.  We started the morning with a mini funnel cake (which wasn't very mini)




Next it was a corn dog










We split a key lime shake from the Dairy Bar, that was SOOOOO good.

And then we're back on our bikes and headed home.




Only a 3.5 mile ride on the Monon to the fairgrounds 





Yay, we're on the road again!





Deb's new Moon Flower






The squirrels have gotten all the big tomatoes, but they don't bother with the cherry tomatoes.  Kev's happy to get any home grown tomatoes.

we bought a rack for the roof, for a little van overflow

Aug 9, 2025 - Fishing day!  Then some games and beers at the VFW.





We're ready






We were on the river by 7:00AM














It's a beautiful morning on the river






We started off with a bitty fish






Now that's a little more respectable














UG's on the board






Next it's shuffleboard at the VFW

Aug 10, 2025 - Today’s another fishing day!

Kev started with a bitty fish
