Whitewater Memorial State Park...

Back in 2016 we had set ourselves a goal to visit all of Indiana's State Parks. We didn't set ourselves any specific time-frame, but I always thought it would be cool to visit all of them inside of 24 months - since there are, after all, 24 Indiana State Parks. And on the 26th November, we accomplished this goal. We visited Whitewater Memorial State Park, near Liberty, Indiana, and have now been blessed to have visited all of Indiana's State Parks - inside of 22 months. :) We had a lovely picnic lunch and then went for a scenic hike on the Veteran's Vista trail. It was another great day in outdoor Indiana!
