Sunday in the Park
We took a short side trip to the Mississinewa River to see the Seven Pillars. The limestone here is soft and the rushing river (before the dam) carved out these "rooms" in the cliffs. Legend has it that the Miami Indians used these carved out rooms for council meetings.
Saturday night while sitting by the fire I was sure I heard a Basset Hound barking. So Sunday morning Jim rode around the park to see if he could find the dog. A few people pointed out the trailer where the dog lived but no one was home. So in the afternoon we stopped by and sure enough "Ernie" was outside. I could have sat on the ground and held him for hours. His face looked so much like our Rocky and he sounded exactly like Rock. However....we hugged and licked....and then moved on.
While sitting outside later in the afternoon a little hound dog came by, no collar or ID. She was sniffing around obviously looking for something. Later in the evening I'm sure I heard her barking and this morning she is stll running around loose in the rain. She didn't seem to want to stay and we think someone must have left her behind and she's looking for her owners. Most campers are gone but there are several "hosts" here so I'm sure she'll be taken care of.
It's Monday morning and we're waiting for the rain to pass so we can head out today for the beach...Illinois Dunes again :)
