1st trip --- day 1

We got off to a late start, finally leaving Detroit at 5pm. Ben was a great traveler, mostly. He sang, yelled (Ben's version of talking) and fussed to let us know when it was time to pull over to eat. We entered Indiana at sunset. Our plan was to set up camp at Indiana Dunes State Park. It's beautiful. Unfortunately, all campsites were full. We tried two other campgrounds in the forest. Both were full. At this point the sun had set completely, so we settled on the Days Inn.
See how happy Ben was to be free!
