The campground of the county park, at Adrian. It was still
fairly early in the day, but we were lucky to still be able to get a spot.
There are few travelers here, despite appearances. Nearly all of the campers
are locals. This place is a real draw for nearby residents. In addition to
a great campground, there is a pool, picnic areas, and some trails. |

A look around our first campground. It was mid to late afternoon,
by the time we got set up. This was where had our first occasion to test
our procedures for making camp. |
|
The sun is nearly at the horizon, and it will be dark in less than
an hour. This was a very busy, and very happy campground. The night was
the pitch black of the country, with great star filled skies. It was filled
with small night sounds, laughter, a chorus of crickets, and quiet talk.
The night smelled of campfires, and the woods were filled with the blinking
of fireflies. All and all, a very peaceful, satisfying night. |
|
Leaving the park, very early Sunday morning. We are headed out to
take a little peek at Adrian, before heading back out on the Interstate. |

A look down main street Adrian. Yes, it was as quiet as it looks.
This was actually a refreshing change, compared to my years living on a
very busy street in one of the most densely populated areas of Milwaukee. |

The big old church at Adrian. Actually, this is St. Adrian's church.
The town of Adrian was named after the wife of a railroad magnate. The
naming if the church was a pure coincidence. |

A nice close up of the brick, and granite work of the main entrance. |

This former hotel is now the senior citizen center. |
