Today we left the Elks Lodge we had been staying at the last five days in Greenfield, IN (15 or so miles east of Indianapolis - the subject of a post perhaps tomorrow)
This lodge was really neat ~ Chad I think you would have been very interested in it ~ I know my father would have been. It was built in the early 70's (1972 I believe). Remember the oil crisis then? When we stayed parked in gas lines for hours - in MA you could only buy gas on certain days based on your license plate number!!!
Anyway, the lodge was built then covered with earth, later planted with grass etc. So in the first photo Sir is up on the roof!
This is a better shot - from a distance showing, obviously, more of the outside.
The Lodge is running into problems now because of its construction. It was built with concrete (cinder?) blocks rather than poured concrete so now it is leaking, leaking and leaking some more.
Today we traveled 145 miles or so to end up in Louisville, KY where I hope we will do a Louisville Slugger factory tour as well as see Churchill Downs. I thought we'd be here three nights, but we only have an electric hookup and are very close to running out of water so we shall see how long we really stay! After that we are debating heading to Nashville (again) or going to St. Louis, where we haven't been, before we get to Louisiana mid November for yet more mods. Speaking of which I need to take some decent pictures of the new furniture to post (aren't you so excited!!! yeah I'm sure you are!!)
