Jim went to pay for three more days of camping here at the National Park.  He needed to be down at the pay station by 10:00 am or new people coming in could pay for our spot.  He got down there 10 minutes early and found out we were in the Central Time Zone now and he was an hour early.  We set all of our watches and clocks and he had to go back an hour later.

We went to the post office to mail a couple of items and then we drove to Michigan City, Indiana to the Shoreline Brewery and had a beer.  After that we drove to the Backroad Brewery in La Porte, Indiana and then to Figure 8 Brewery in Valparaiso, Indiana.

It was 51 degrees when we woke up this morning and it reached 74 degrees today.  It was beautiful and sunny. We found one geocache on the Valparaiso University campus.  Jim grilled tonight and I bought Bush’s Baked Beans, some potato salad and made some deviled eggs.  We had another fresh ripe tomato from the garden at the fairgrounds.  We only have two left.  I’ll be sad when they are eaten -- they have been so tasty.
