We travelled to southern Indiana to partake in the Covered Bridge Festival of Parke County. We are staying at a small campground Pam found on Hipcamp: Happy Campers Campground in Brazil, Indiana. They only have 4 sites, but they are nice.

In total, there are 31 covered bridges in the county laid out nicely on this map. There are 5 colored routs you can take to see all of them. We only visited around 20 bridges in 3 days. They all start to look the same after 10. The drive around the county is beautiful. Narrow tree lined roads – many gravel – with lots of old farms and rolling hills.

There are 10 festival locations in small towns across the county where community organizations and vendors offer crafts, food, and unique items.

In early October, we attended the Airstream Wisc-UP Rally in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Our 3rd rally of the year. There was good attendance with over 20 trailers. We stayed at the Skillet Creek Campground on the south side of Baraboo.

On Friday, we took care of official business and elected new officers:

We then toured the Al Ringling Museum with the Al Ringling Brewery attached. This is the only museum tour we have ever taken where you can take a beer with you! The tour was interesting and afterwards, we had dinner in the beer hall. The circus organ is amazing.

Saturday, we visited the Ski-Hi Apple orchard in the morning where they have a huge gift stop and great baked goods baked on site. In the afternoon, we visited the Mid-Continent Railway Museum where we took a 7-mile (round trip) train ride through the countryside.

On Sunday, small group of us toured the Al Ringling Theater. Truly outstanding; you need to take this tour if you are in town. Called America’s Prettiest Playhouse
built in 1915. Al. Ringling Theatre is a treasure of rare quality. Magnificent and richly designed in the style of grand French opera houses, the theatre is a masterpiece of European architecture.
