After a night at the Comfort Inn, we stayed near the hotel that morning with a visit to the Louisville Flea Market. Closer to lunch time, we crossed the river into Indiana and went to lunch at Hooters in Jeffersonville. We were in Jeffersonville to take a tour of Schimpff's Confectionery set up by members of the Middle Tennessee Geocachers Club. We had fun touring the candy factory and museum.
We picked up a few caches in the area. The fun ones were in the Falls of the Ohio area. Due to time constraints we were not able to go after all that we wanted, the high temperatures didn't help either. Carolina had a big time finding fossils in the river bed. She has an interest in geology.
We found, Falls of the Ohio, our first regular cache find in the state of Indiana. Most of the rest were earthcaches: Older than Dirt!, Sandstone Erratic, FoTo: The Potholes and FOSSIL IDENTIFICATION at THE FALLS of the OHIO. We were tired and hot at this point and we drove to the Miles of Smiles Meet & Greet . We picked up our registration packets, stayed a bit and left. The heat and long day had worn use out.
Part that was worth most to me was visiting the Falls of the Ohio area. I have observed cache events in the area to go after all the caches in and around the park. I hope someday, I can return to this park.
That evening, we settled in the Sleep Inn in Louisville, a place that I don't recommend.
