| The park is a pretty 30 mile drive north of Terre Haute |
 |
| Sugar Creek cuts through the park. |
 |
| The sandstone has been etched by the water. |
 |
| Mary and Kate on the suspension bridge. |
 |
| Maybe next time we rent kayaks. Many people were paddling. |
 |
| Due to drought, this may have been the driest opportunity to enjoy the rock formations. |
 |
| On the Rocky Hollow trail in the park's extensive trail system. |
 |
| Wedge rock fell off the side of the gorge recently. Within a few thousand years. |
 |
| Why do they call it "Wedge Rock?" |
 |
| The scale is deceiving here. Note the person in the pink shirt. Also note that there are at least 4 huge outcroppings disappearing into the sunlit distance. |
 |
| Seepage through an iron deposit? |
 |
| Into the narrows. |
 |
| The water is 1000 feet deep. With Alligators. |
 |
| This section would be completely impassable in high water. |
 |
| Nature found fault with the right angles of the steps cut into the rock. Correction in progress. |
 |
| A walk through the woods away from Rocky Hollow, this covered bridge allows dry passage over Sugar Creek. |
 |
| Downstream from the bridge. |
 |
| The water has worn pockets in the stone. A perfect jumping spot, but no swimming allowed. The sign says, "Drownings have occurred." In higher water, no doubt. |
 |
| Heading back to the suspension bridge along the north bank of Sugar Creek. |
 |
| I was there too. |
 |
| I was scaring the bears away from Mary. |
 |
| The 3-foot high mine from the 1800's followed a vein of coal down into the earth. Ugh. The Indiana Bat has found the shaft to its liking. Same for litterbugs. |
 |
| Steps on another trail we did not follow. Lots more to see...we'll have to come back. ----------------------------------- Another part of our Indiana Investigation was seeing this campus. |
 |
| Kate teaches here. |
 |
| In the English Department's Building. |
 |
| Kate's office is behind the second story windows between the trees. |
 |
| The newly opened Federal Building is a reconditioned Post Office and Courthouse. Impressive! |
 |
| Kate teaches a class in the building. |
 |
| The elevator |
 |
| I think they left out one part of the metal ornamentation for authenticity. |
 |
| It is the business school, and this is a classroom, complete with stock ticker. |
 |
| Just a door to an office. |
 |
| Second floor hallway |
 |
| Once courtroom, now presentation hall. |
 |
| Pretty but not aromatic. |
 |
| The old Student Union |
 |
| A multitude of different types of trees enhanced the quad. |
 |
| A number of the entrances to campus look onto this central fountain. It beckons playfulness. |
 |
| A "Yarnstormed" bike. |
 |
| Very pretty campus. |
