Another travel day today. We continue our westward trek. We left Add-More RV Park in Clarksville and jumped onto I-64 again. I always thought Indiana was dead flat but, as usual, I was full of shit. It was a gorgeous drive west through southern Indiana with combined forest and farmland situated in gently rolling but not insubstantial hills. We are starting to pick up our pace so we are breaking our informal rule and using the interstate system to cross the midwest.
We pulled off near Evansville, another Indiana town on the banks of the Ohio River. We pulled into the Vanderburg 4-H Center. It looks like the location where a county fair or an NRA meeting might be held but they have full hookups and it’s fairly cheap. Our drive today only took a couple hours and we crossed over the dividing line between the Eastern and Central time zones a half dozen times before leaving the Eastern behind and cruising into the Central, gaining an hour.
We had so much spare time after setting up our trailer that we headed into Evansville to look around. Foolishly, I did not expect anything interesting but, again, I was the donkey because the first thing we found was Gerst Bavarian Haus which was a restaurant and a tavern and previously a hardware store. It is in a gorgeous building. The food was pretty good and they had a fabulous beer selection, so we took advantage of both. It wasn’t cheap but the food was worth it.
Then we took a cruise through downtown and for the third time today, I underestimated something and found a metro area oozing with gorgeous architecture of municipal, residential and churches that look like old cathedrals. The traffic was even pretty good. It seemed a very nice place.
