Today we drove to Bainbridge and to Pike Lake State Park to check out the fall color and to revisit some happy memories of times past. Bainbridge is nestled in Paint Valley, so called because of the spectacular display of fall leaves. This weekend was the annual Fall Festival of Leaves in Bainbridge. The weather cooperated: it was mostly sunny, and the high actually hit 50°.
 Welcome |  Peaceful lake |
We drove the Pike Lake Loop and stopped at the campground and lake. It was as lovely and as peaceful as I remember it from many years of family camping when my family lived in nearby Cincinnati. On the way home we stopped at the Seip Mound State Memorial Park and hiked back to view the large mound built by the Hopewell Indians.
Tonight we watched a Nature program on the rhinoceros and an Inspector Lewis Masterpiece Mystery episode. It was a bit disconcerting that we were watching them on DTV-air, not on DirecTV, so we couldn't use the TIVO pause and rewind features. We do appreciate having closed captioning available on the British shows, since the accent often makes it difficult for us to keep up with fast paced dialogue.
