I met Mark and his wife Sat. and found them both to be very friendly and
typical Hoosiers. My only complaint was that he didn't offer me coffee
<G> or birthday cake (You didn't know it, but I was turning 34 right in
front of you). They have a great place up on the hill. Highly recommended
as a stop for hikers or car campers. I'll definitely stay there in the
future.

Sat. night.

Wombat. The others: Surefoot, McGoos, Rockhopper (the girls) and Red,
Foo-Foo (sp?), and Mad Dog. Nice guys all (of course). I went to Damascus
for some grease at Dairy King. I went to The Place to leave a note for
these guys. I left my e-mail address, and not my real address. What have
I become???
