Anyone interested in camping in Indiana today?

If you are, you might want to rethink it! Snowed again over night (Friday night - Saturday morning) and currently have 5 (plus) inches drop over Indianapolis. Not sure how deep it is where I live (near Anderson), but this is what we look like as of a few minutes ago.

For what it's worth, you can still camp at Indiana State Parks, but you won't have water anywhere, there are no entrance fees off season, and the campsite price is greatly reduced with the water for the state park is turned off.

However, I did have a great time this morning with my 730 John Deere mower-tractor with the attached snow blower-thrower attached to the front! And we are still sleeping in the camper tonight, as we do most week-ends, even though it's parked in the drive way! In spite of snow, we're still using the camper as much as possible.

So if you come to Indiana today.... be sure to bring along a snow shovel!

, I hopped on a plane and went back to the condo in Sanibel. Let me know when it melts and I'll come back and we will go camping.

Now THAT'S true Yankee ingenuity! :B

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Dutch, I really do love the Indiana state park system but as I grow grayer I have less tolerance of the cold weather and especially snow. Saturday morning instead of shoveling the 8" of fresh Indiana powder, I hopped on a plane and went back to the condo in Sanibel. Let me know when it melts and I'll come back and we will go camping.:B

Great pics though!!

Dutchman that looks like work to me! I have some of that type of work to do in the morning and I'm not excited about it.

Snowshoe weather! Compared to some, yours looks inviting.

Looks cold. Has been up to 70 degrees F in western Nevada at 4700 feet elevation. Spoiled, I guess. But, a storm is coming tonight. We will see.

Darn it.

I was just thinking about shovelling out the trailer (6" more TODAY), then breaking it free of the ice (minus 15 yesterday), and heading to ol' sunny Indiana.

Now what to do????????

The people in Boston would probably look at your pictures and think, "Hey, not bad at all! I could go for that!"

Sure, if you change all that white to green, raise the temp by about 60 degrees, and change the sky to blue! :B

I heard it was in the single digits yesterday afternoon - that's a mite chilly for camping, even in one's backyard. ๐Ÿ™‚ I take it you aren't using the water system at present.

Agreed, your snow-remover rig sounds like fun to use - and wayyyyy better than a shovel!
