You know how sometimes ya just need to get away!!??? Well, that is the way we were feeling so we loaded the trailer, (left the winterizing fluids in, as we heard the forecast) hey it is still way better than a tent, and headed out. Nothing spectacular, just to southern Indiana where Dave read there was some awesome biking trails. It is at Brown State Park, just south of Indianapolis.
No this is not our trailer. :)
The farther south we drove the more signs of spring could be seen.
When we finally arrived at the park we were surprised to see the terrain. Lots of hills and Valleys....who knew in Indiana????
We decided to take a ride into town and saw this house...Just had to include the picture , is there such a thing as too many cats??? 
Just outside of town there is a very large reservoir. They also a huge campground right on the reservior.
.
Back at the park....the views are really pretty...now for a little more sun.
There are tons of red bud trees in the area and they are just starting to come into bloom. I bet in another week it is really pretty.
There are a couple of watch towers here at the park and you can see Dave climbed this one. It is really chilly here and it was blowing like crazy so I stayed grounded!!!!
Another more rustic tower....more to my liking.
This was the view from this tower looking across the valley.
When we arrived here at the campground it was sunny and 70 degrees. Soon after our arrival the weather turned on us and we had a ton of rain as can be witnessed by the following video of the road.
Since I started writting this the sun has once again made an apperance. They are calling for cold temps tonight, (thank you to the heater) and then tomorrw it is supposed to be sunny and 65. I can live with that. This is definitely a must do place to go again. Tons of trails, both hiking and biking, and many other activities. Dave says the trails remind him of Colorado in some ways. It is close enough that you can get here in just 5 hours, not bad. Come on down....do I sound like an add???
