Introduction to our idea

So, we really like hiking and camping and outdoor things of all kinds. And we were looking at the Indiana State Parks website the other day http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/ and we decided that we would do a tour of them all. Being money-conscious (cheap) as we are, it seemed like a good idea to buy the $36 annual pass and try to get it done in a year. But, the passes go Jan. - Dec. and we got all excited and decided to start now anyway. So, we will be visiting all 26? state parks in the next 14 months.

A little about us: We are Jesse and Abby, both 30 years old, a home remodeler and a teacher. We have two dogs, Cash and Cooper, who will be going on most of the trips with us. We live on the White River on the north side of Indianapolis.

We will be trying to provide honest and useful information about the State Parks that we visit. We will try to give info about the trails, inns, restaurants, and other ammenities. We will also probably throw in some info about various other places we visit along the way, even if they're not technically inside the parks.

This past weekend, Sept. 26 and 27, we visited Turkey Run and Shades State Parks. More to come on these trips.
