The beauty of West Baden Springs Hotel keeps us coming back. There’s no place like it!
The Madison Regatta was held over the Fourth of July weekend, and that’s where we parked ourselves for a few days.
They say timing is everything in life. I picked the right time to head out in the RV on a solo trip!
Autumn is coming. There’s a little nip in the night air. But first there’s some glorious late summer weather to enjoy.
We took a break from our usual winter hobby, which is napping, to go see some local attractions.

Ahhhh – West Baden. The ambiance, the atmosphere, the architecture. There’s no other place like it on earth!
We return time and again to this magnificent hotel because it’s so special. Built at the turn of the century as a mineral spring resort, it was the largest domed structure in the world for nearly a century, and still inspires awe today.
West Baden and its sister hotel, French Lick, have been lovingly restored to their original 1900’s glory. The properties are about a mile apart, with a casino in the middle, and are linked together by trolley ride, shuttle bus, and paved walkways. Folks of yesteryear came here to partake of the mineral waters, and both West Baden and French Lick still offer full spa and pampering services, as well as stunning hotel rooms and upscale dining.

September has been miserable in the Ohio Valley – hot, dry, and dusty. It hasn’t rained in a month and temperatures have been hovering in the 90’s nonstop. We were looking for some relief and found a whole lot of cool a hundred miles north in Madison, Indiana.
Camped along the Ohio River, we got a little breeze off the water that made a wee bit of difference in the temperature. But touring around Madison was the coolest part.
