Travels N'at 2017: Mars to Turkey Run State Park, Indiana

So, after a busy week of catching up on laundry, updating web sites, and trying to overcome lag, we are off again. This time it's to Turkey Run State Park where the Castle and Fletcher families are having their family reunion. Why should I go? This is also the book launch of the Castle Family book for which I did a lot of research.

We left just about on time - 9 am and had a nice drive until we hit a deluge right past Columbus. It was a miserable drive for about 10 miles when it cleared up and we hit sun again. All was well until we hit I 74 just north of Indianapolis when the skies opened up again. It almost felt like hail was hitting the car. At least we were almost to the exit, which we could barely see. Listened to most of the Pirates game, but since we couldn't stand the Cubs announcers and had to listen to 93.7, it faded in and out. Just as well since they lost.

Got to Turkey Run about 4:30 and checked in. The room was decent. It could use a bit of upgrades, but it is a state park inn, so I am sure that there are limited funds for doing so.

Found the Lusk Room that was the "headquarters" for the reunion and also Shari Castle, author of the book and my client. We chatted a bit and then decided that we would all go to dinner together, along with Emily Thomas, who also had worked on the book.

Dinner was a buffet that was really down home fried comfort food. There was a salad bar so that was a major part of our dinner.

Emily and I went down and tweaked the slides for my presentation for Saturday night.

We all then gathered in the Lusk room for the unveiling of the book. Shari emceed the evening.
