Glendale Reservoir

     This is a small Fish and Wildlife area in southern Indiana. We have camped here for a long time. Jay’s family were traveling here to fish in the 1960’s and it was a great place to catch bluegills. Sherry and I used to tent camp here and fish. We would typically travel here in late April. Then we could fish and hunt Morel mushrooms the same trip. There is no better eating than a fried mushrooms and bluegills. We have lots of good memories of doing both and so we planned a trip to go fishing.

 Since I have never towed two items at the same time I am very reluctant to try this configuration. The 32 foot RV and the 15 foot Jeep with a 14 foot boat and trailer. Sounds scary to me. So Sherry drove the RV while I led with the Jeep and boat in tow.  We stayed three nights in the campground at the reservoir and while the fishing proved tough we did catch a few bluegills. They have made several improvements to the campground since our last visit. Sites have been paved, camp host added which provides security as well as a bait shop. This campground is a real gem for fishermen and several were here this trip.

       We reacquainted ourselves with the area and journeyed to Washington the closest town. Another close town is Jasper, this is the first place we encountered Walmart. Wish we would have bought stock at that time.
