Mounds State Recreation Area - Brookville Reservoir

August 15, 2015.  We decided to take a short weekend trip.  This would be Sarah's first camping trip and we wanted to make sure she could handle the camper and the weather.  The temperatures reached the mid to high 80's with humidity.  We were glad that we took the air conditioning.  Several times Sarah walked to the ramp and just wanted to be where it was cooler.

As we gazed out over the water we observed a Bald Eagle circling above.  It banked and descended low over the water talons reaching for the water and its prey just below the surface. It climbed gracefully with its dinner held firmly until it got back to its nest or the branches of the dead tree.  (Look far right of the dead tree).  The binoculars were left in the camper and we didn't bring our big camera on this trip.

We learned another thing on this trip, Sarah could read.  She knew exactly where to stop to conduct her business.
