October 13, 2014. Endless rain in Evansville


CAMPGROUND:  Second night at   City Park. I jokingly said that i should upgrade this from 3 stars to 5 because they said we could stay here free!
LOCATION:  Evansville, Indiana in SW corner of state
WEATHER;  Rain on-and-off during the day; Storms in the evening.  Hot!  Muggy. Highs about 80

We did indoor work during most of the day....laundry, internet business, reading.  I turned on the air conditioner to dry things out.  Between showers, we took a hike on one of the park's beautiful paths.  The colors are terrific.  

In the late afternoon, we went to another brewpub, the Tin Man.  It seems like we have been jinxed each time we drive  into town.  First was the truck/train collision  yesterday blocking the road.  Today, on that same road, a tree had blown down and we had to swerve around it.  Then later this evening, a train was blocking the train crossing, and the alternate route was closed. 
We had a beer and fried green tomatoes appetizer.
While we were there, the sky turned black then green, and tornado warnings were sounded.  

When it let up, we went to a pizza restaurant that someone told us is a "must" here.  We thought it was closed as it was dark inside, but the darkness was from losing electricity due to the storm.  They wouldn't let customers in, so we went back to the camper.  

DINNER:  I made a cabbage/sausage soup with leftovers.  Background was pounding rain on the trailer.
