Extra Extra Read All About It or What Are the Chances???

He has to be in one of these two cars with 12 police cars ahead and behind.

So we are making time today on I-64 and Pat decides to pull off and get gas before getting into Indian-Celina Lake at Hooiser National Forest here in Indiana.  We see an exit that has several truck gas stations which means lots of competition, low prices, right.  As we get off there are all kinds of sheriff cars and state police blocking the roads.  Pat pulls into the station and fills up.  There are all these truckers standing around talking and line after line of trucks and cars waiting to get back on the highway so we are thinking let’s go back one exit along this little side road and get on because of the “construction” cones, etc… We navigate through corn fields and end up on a narrow road actually to the south of the exit we got off on(25 A/B Route 41 between two little towns of Stacer and Warrenton(?).  This road is blocked as well to 41.  Pat says to me what is going on is Obama visiting Indiana today?  I am laughing at him.  We park behind 3 other cars and get out to talk to the sheriff deputy and sure enough Obama is coming out of Evansville to visit some little company called Millennium Steel Service (54 employees) and they have blocked off all roads into and out of the area including I-64.  We end up waiting about 20 minutes watch the helicopter go over the road to check out everything and then Pat and I are waving and I take the photo.  The deputy says he sure hopes Obama doesn’t get shot because then Nancy Pelosi will become President.  Don’t know if it was a joke or not.  One nice couple with us missed their dentist’s appointments in the next big town, but in the meantime the wife saved a little kitten from the soy bean field(?) And the bad weather from the night before moved ahead of us.   

We like camping in National Forests and with the Army Corp of Engineers (as long as we are above the dams in storms).  Most campgrounds are closing down now and the window is only a few more weeks. Most of these campgrounds are run by volunteers that get free campsite space for the season in exchange for taking our $13-20 a night for the running of these camps. I will try to take a photo of this beautiful place tomorrow am before we head to Ft. Boonesborough in Kentucky. We are trying to stop at every state once.  Can't wait to get the state map to put on the RV...Getting giddy here, it is more like back east and cool at last.
