Our last day at Horseshoe Lakes Campground... at least this trip!

We have enjoyed the stay here at Horseshoe Lakes Thousand Trails Campground. It is probably one of our favorites in the Thousand Trails system. There are a lot of "seasonal" folks here, but they are welcoming to those of us who are just passing through.
We went into Terra Haute yesterday and today (I had to exchange the jeans I bought at Sams for a *smaller* size) - I got this picture of the Vigo County Courthouse as we were driving past it.

This evening we made Chicken and Veggie Kabobs on the grill - we have been on a diet (thus my excitement about needing a *smaller* size of jeans), and this is one of the meals on our diet - there were actually 3 more kabobs yet to be cooked... we only ate half of them tonight.

The only thing that we really have *not* liked is the number of "sweat bees" (or, that is what I remember calling them growing up). I looked up information by that name and their appearance and behavior seems to agree. The articles I read indicated that only the female has a stinger, and she won't use it unless you try to crush her against your skin. It seems they are only looking for the salt on your skin, but they are pretty annoying!
There are quite a number of walking trails (actually, roads) around the property - so we went on a little bit of a walk this evening after our kabobs...

Dwayne had walked this way a few days ago and saw a turkey, but there were a number of other folks out and about (on bikes and golf carts) so we didn't see any turkeys.

We did see this beautiful view at one of the lakes that we passed. So serene.
And we happened upon this bunny that let us take his/her picture before hopping back into the woods.
 Tomorrow we plan to leave here to go to Moscow, Iowa. We have an appointment with HWH for work to be done on our hydraulic jacks on Monday morning. We went there back in October and got a problem that we were dealing with corrected. This time, we're wanting them to do a review of the whole system... so we made the appointment for that. We have a couple of known problems (one of the jacks is leaking a little, one seems to give a faulty signal that it is not all the way up, and they seem to have a bit of groaning with use at this time) - so we're not sure how long the work will take.

When we went there in October, we stayed the night before in a parking lot of a farm equipment dealer (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/10/moscow-iowa-ready-to-visit-hwh-tomorrow.html) - I called them this week and they said we were welcome to stay there this time too, so that's our goal for tomorrow.
