Neither of us could get too excited about Indiana, not just because diesel has gone from $2.89 in Missouri to $3.09 in Illinois to $3.18 here. To give it a fair chance, we decided to camp at the Indianapolis fairgrounds and go downtown, this being Saturday and we being highly social.
But it turned out the fairgrounds were hosting a 4WD Jamboree, and the place was swarming with Jeeps with oversized tires, surrounded by admiring young-twenties swilling beer. I have nothing against this but it didn’t look like a good place to camp, so we drove on to the Indie KOA (our first - $36/retired vet, elec & water & WiFi, other hookups extra) 14 miles east of Indianapolis. The KOA was very nice with wide grassy areas and many trees, bordered by a cornfield. The restrooms were less nice, and the park (like all KOAs) contains family oriented facilities we don’t need—pool, game room, ping pong tables, etc. The campground host noticed our California plates; he hosts at Folsom Lake most summers, maybe 3 miles from our home.
