First stop of the day was First Ladies National Historic Site.  The site preserves the home of Ida Saxton, wife of President McKinley:

It happens that adjacent to the National Park site is Camp Tel Yehudah, where I spent a week in the late 80s for a Young Judea National Convention:

That’s it for the Summer 2021 trip.  See you next summer!

Summer 2021, Day 63: RV Hall of Fame

This morning I met fellow pilot Shane for a flight.  There was no wind and the grass was wet, and my wing, uncooperative under the best of circumstances, was impossible to get off the ground.  After breaking a prop in a launch attempt, Shane let me try his APCO Hybrid wing.  It was much more accommodating, and I had a nice Flight 137, my first in Indiana:

The field where I flew was a few hundred yards from the RV Hall of Fame, which surprisingly has so far eluded us:
