Indiana's high school graduation rate reached a record high last year. Colleges and universities across Indiana will feel the impact of the state's new high school graduation requirements. Efforts to make the Indiana Dunes more accessible to Region residents and visitors have gotten a $20 million boost. The Indiana School Boards Association's first priority during the upcoming legislative session is to increase public school funding to keep pace with inflation.

En este episodio, exploramos la historia de las hermanas Fox, quienes, a mediados del siglo XIX, se convirtieron en figuras clave del movimiento espiritista en Estados Unidos. Maggie, Kate y Leah Fox afirmaban poder comunicarse con los muertos a través de misteriosos golpes y sonidos, lo que capturó la atención de miles de personas y dio inicio a un fenómeno que revolucionó la percepción de la vida después de la muerte. También te contaremos la historia de tres jóvenes mujeres que desaparecieron misteriosamente durante un día soleado en el Parque Estatal Indiana Dunes, ubicado a orillas del lago Míchigan. Ann Miller, Patricia Blough y Renee Bruhl parecían simplemente desvanecerse en el aire, dejando tras de sí pocas pistas y una gran cantidad de preguntas. Hosted on Acast.

LFTR Episode 72 - This has been such a jam packed summer and we are happy. We're also, admittedly, quite tired if you can't tell by listening. Perhaps we've discovered a new Inside Out emotion: Happytired? We talk about this wonderful feeling as well as our time in Warren Dunes, Indiana Dunes and Cedar Point.Highlights include:* We've gone no alcohol for July but probably will keep it up for a while, maybe longer (if I do)* A quick and dunes-less trip to Indiana Dunes* Some National Parks you can just show up - others you need to really know the cool things to see ahead* “Vegetated” sand dunes* A giant sand dune they call a mountain you can run/fly down. * Jamie's guide to backing in* “Listen to your partner” applies in many situations* Dishy disaster* Either I'm (Clay) getting old or Cedar Point's coasters are more intense than most!* Favorite coasters discussed: Gemini (1979 wooden racing coaster), Magnum (1989 the original hyper coaster >200ft tall), Iron Dragon (ride in cars hanging underneath over a pond), Steel Vengeance (Hybrid coaster built on the structure of a wooden coaster, really unique and tons of airtime), Gatekeeper (B&M wing coaster that goes through keyholes in the entrance gate to the park), Valravn (dive coaster)*  The end of a good trip is happytired* Some favorite summer happytired memories from our childhoodsLinks:* 1933 Century of Progress Homes (Indiana Dunes NP)* Warren Dunes State Park* Mt Randall loop trail (All Trails) - I would suggest not going up the big dune like this map shows but going up through the woods on the north leg of the trail and taking a left to loop back around to the big dune then go down it* Cedar PointThanks for listening!

This month's big project was upgrading our battery bank to lithium batteries. We added about 1000 amps of battery power to our rig in the conversion process. After a couple of days for the install, we headed to annual Indiana Dunes mid summer trip. New this month is the Starlink mini as a standalone unit.

There's something about gazing out a body of water that goes to the horizon that reminds you of the vast inhumanness of so much of the planet. I was struck by that last summer at the Indiana Dunes, on the shore of Lake Michigan. When the water rises up to the horizon like that, filling your vision, it's not hard to imagine the existential panic Captain Ahab's youngest sailor felt when he went overboard in a whale fight. The rest of the crew went off chasing the whale, and there he was, bobbing up and down with nothing but ocean around. Don't worry, he got rescued, but in the hour he was alone in the ocean, something changed in him. While he had floated there, surrounded on all sides by undulating water ready to engulf him, “The sea had jeeringly kept his body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul.” I was less likely to be engulfed by the inhuman expanse of the sea because I was on the shore, surrounded by giant umbrellas, beach balls, and plenty of sunscreened humans. Plus, out at the farthest edge of the coast, I could see the smokestacks of the steel industry. They're strangely grounding, those giant structures at the edge of my vision. The sight kept the infinite of my soul from drowning, but probably because it felt like they were jeering at me. Sometimes if you want to be acknowledged, jeering is what you settle for. The smokestacks reminded me of another way I'm engulfed – we're all engulfed: in a world run by fossil fuels. Which is not great. Not just because they're heating the planet up. Also because fossil fuel production takes land, and labor, and leaves an immense amount of pollution in the communities that surround it. Jeering might be the right word, too, for how those smokestacks relate to the region around them. The Dunes are in the Calumet Region, which also includes cities like Gary, Hammond, and Michigan city – cities dominated, according to scholar and writer Ava Tomasula y Garcia, by smokestacks and “air you can see and taste because it's so dirty.” The region was dominated for over a century by some of the dirtiest industries in the world. Not too long ago, Ava published an article about all this in Belt Magazine. She tells the story of the oil and gas industry in Indiana, and considers how its influence continues to shape the region. It was because of that article that I wanted to talk with her. Ava is a graduate student in Anthropology at Columbia University, where she's focused on medical anthropology. Specifically, she's interested in undiagnosable illness that people living in the Rust Belt and the Calumet Region link to industrial toxicity. These are not “monumental” illness like cancer and asthma but things that are much harder to diagnose, like brain fog and nausea. I hope to have her on again to talk about that research. Today's episode, though, is about how the geology of the region ended up shaping its industrial development, which also shaped its social history – who moved to the region, how race and labor struggles played out, and how regions like the Calumet, often known these days as the “Rust Belt,” are more complex than that term implies. And after that, we go back through the archives of our classified ads, to remember what used to be for sale. Music Our theme song is by Amy Oelsner and Justin Vollmar.

Paul Labovitz, former Superintendent of Indiana Dunes National Park, walks us through his career and his time in the National Park Service up until his final position before retirement at Indiana Dunes.  Paul is a self-proclaimed city kid whose transformational experience outdoors changed his life and charted his course to work in the outdoors. In his interview, he surprises us with a career change to the National Park Service due to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, shares insights about "sister parks" where National Parks partner with other National Parks internationally (learn about Costa Rica & Poland) and shares his appreciation for the accessibility of Indiana Dunes to the Greater Chicago Area. Indiana Dunes National Parks, with white sand beaches that may or may not look like the beaches of Mexico, is located at the southern end of Lake Michigan and offers much more than a summer beach getaway. With ecological diversity, year round recreation opportunities, and exciting bird watching opportunities, Indiana Dunes is a national park you don't want to miss. You can follow Who Runs This Park on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, can email us at info@whorunsthispark.com or check us out online at whorunsthispark.com. Who Runs This Park is hosted and produced by Maddie Pellman, with music by Danielle Bees.Episode Specific Links: Feeling inspired?

This week, I sat down with some of the organizers behind Dual Power Gathering Midwest to discuss the weekend long event, the concept of dual power, building solidarity, and sharing knowledge with each other as we develop our greater movement affinity. Dual Power Gathering Midwest 2023 will take place in the traditional homelands of the Miami, Potawatomi, and Kickapoo, about thirty minutes south of downtown Chicago. A follow-up to the Dual Power Gathering at Indiana Dunes in 2022, this event is a regionally-focused attempt to bring folks together from across the Midwest to meet, spend time together, and discuss dual power strategies for the struggles of today and tomorrow.

Our brief camping trip to the Indiana Dunes was a big success. Perfect weather, nice campground, RV working perfectly all came together to make a great experience this year. The beach in this park is very nice plus of course the water is fresh - and fairly warm at this time of year. We stayed for 3 nights. Even though I made the reservation on January 3, this was the longest midweek reservation available. What is your experience with campground reservations lately? We are working on reservations for our fall trip south to FL and are finding reservations at public campgrounds to be fairly easy to make. A major topic this month is photography Ai & its impact on my photos. The new Photoshop Beta includes generative AI as a major upgrade feature. It is amazing as you can see on this episodes webpage. AI has been coming to photography for a while, but this feature of Photoshop takes it to the next level. In this episode we also share some new websites focused on RVing. How about planning a RV trip that follows the 70 degree temperatures? This plus some new RVing planning sites will give you some ideas for next years trips.

In this botanically diverse conversation with ethnobotanist and author Gary Nabhan, some of the topics we discuss include: The winding, intersectional, and truly inspiring story of Gary's personal journey, from his family ties to bootlegging during Prohibition, to his days spent foraging and learning about plants in the Indiana Dunes, to his documentary work showcasing the pollinator relationship between bats and agave. How he teamed up with his co-author, David Pinera, a famed distributor and curator of agave spirits, to assemble his latest book detailing the ethnobotanical importance of plant/people relationships and the nuances of the mezcal and tequila industries. Some notes on the sacred nature of agaves, and how his background as an interfaith member of the Franciscan order has informed his mission to protect what is sacred Why mezcal can truly be described as “Biodiversity in a bottle,” plus some advice for navigating the almost dizzying array of distillates to choose from in today's market. And of course, we speculate on what the future might hold for our beloved agave spirits, including why the Tequila industry might learn a thing or two from the parable of “The Prodigal Son.” Along the way, we cover the relationship between agave spirits and deforestation, explain why cactus and agave are truly the “bison” of the plant world, sing lavish praises for the elusive black sphinx date, and much, much more. You can pick up your copy of Agave Spirits: The Past, Present, and Future of Mezcals wherever books are sold. This episode is brought to you by Near Country Provisions.

When the summer began in June, Hoosier History Live explored offbeat aspects of the corner of the state often called "The Region". Now that the season is drawing to a close, we will return to Northwest Indiana to delve into a wealth of other sites, existing and bygone, including some in Hammond, one of the largest cities in The Region. Our spotlight will be on one of the tallest of the Indiana Dunes, which was the site of a near-tragedy in 2013; shipwrecks beneath Lake Michigan, and a beloved, bygone department store with a connection to a classic movie. In fact, we will salute another site (a quirky one) in Hammond that pays tribute to the city's link to "A Christmas Story" (1983), the movie based on the writings of Jean Shepherd, who grew up in the city.

(Part 2/2) July 2, 1966. Porter County, Indiana. 21-year old Ann Miller, 19-year old Patricia Blough and 19-year old Renee Bruhl leave their homes in Illinois in order to travel to the Indiana Dunes State Park. After taking a spot on the beach next to Lake Michigan, the three women venture into the water, leaving all of their belongings behind. Eyewitnesses would recall seeing them climb into a boat with an unidentified man before they vanished without a trace and there would be a number of different theories about why they went missing. Did the women take off voluntarily? Were they murdered over possible connections to notorious criminal Silas Jayne and his “horse syndicate”? Could their disappearance have been the result of an illegal abortion gone wrong? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we shall explore the truly baffling disappearance of the “Indiana Dunes Women”.

With our email back in operation, we have received several questions and comments from listeners. Thanks!! New email is at rvnavigator@mac.com. As you might expect, we headed to the Indiana Dunes for our annual beach RV trip. I feel strongly that the motorhome needs to be exercised regularly to keep it in good working order. Therefore when we are not doing a major trip we do spaced out small trips to keep the gears working smoothly on the MH. Great family time for all of those staying at the Indiana State Park. We enjoyed good weather and the company of lots of families enjoying camping in the old style - beach, campfires, food cooked outdoors, bikes, sand, water and toys to keep everyone busy. June has been a typical summer month and we have used it to recover from our quarantine experience and get ready for our next overseas travel adventure next month. We head to Italy and France for about 5 weeks starting in July, so the podcast will be done remotely next month. This month we talk about RV electricity issues, paying tolls when traveling, RV refridgerators, photo tips with the iPhone and much more.

This week on the podcast we discuss these mysterious disappearances. Three women disappeared in broad daylight while relaxing on the beach at Indiana Dunes State Park in Porter County Indiana on July 2, 1966. What was supposed to be a celebration of America's independence and freedom, turned to a massive manhunt. New episodes on Sundays at 8.00pm GMT.Find us on our socials;Website: www.ccunsolved.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ccunsolved/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccunsolvedTwitter: https://twitter.com/ccunsolvedEmail: ccunsolved@gmail.com

National Parks are full of spectacular things to see… I often feel like I'm on another planet when I visit them! In this episode come along and hear about seven magical moments from six recent visits: Indiana Dunes, Canyonlands, Arches, Joshua Tree, Pinnacles and Death Valley National Parks.  My focus in every visit is to of course, check out and capture with my camera, some iconic sights, but also to go on the trails less traveled to experience the parks in a different and often times, more magical way… these are some stories of just that!  My hope is to inspire you to get out and experience nature in some way today… and feel so good because of it! (And who doesn't want to feel good?!)  To support the creation of this podcast and Today's WonderFULL (a newly public Instagram account: @todayswonderfull, where I share photos taken in the parks and in my surroundings for a daily dose of beauty), head on over to: https://www.projectwonderfull.com/patreon

Formed more than 10-thousand years ago by glaciers, the area was first the home of the Miami and Potawatomi tribes. The area quickly thrived thanks to its location to not just Lake Michigan, but also rivers –helping the fur trade and eventually steel production, flourish. But the water wasn't the only mode of transpiration that brought in commerce. Railroads brought in goods and people. Today, the Indiana Dunes are a hot spot for visitors in the Midwest and beyond.

Greetings, Moon Minnjas!! What a fun episode we have for you today!! We have a special guest join us today! Jason, our CFO, joins Jessie for an in-depth, one-on-one conversation traversing Shakespeare's The Merchant in Venice! Jason played Gratiano, a friend to Bassanio, he is Shylock's most vocal and insulting critic during the trial. They talked about how Shakespeare, as a playwright, allowed just enough structure into his features to allow for true creative flow for the actors participating in his plays. Also, one of the many reasons why his work is still produced over 500 years after it was written. Jess and Jason dig into why The Merchant of Venice is such a great play with strong female characters. Also, why blind revenge will blind you to a favorable outcome! This conversation was a great lead-in to an exciting chat between Mary and Jessie, 'two strong female entrepreneurs,' speaking all about becoming merchants at The Chesterton European Market, in Chesterton, IN, this coming season. We chat about the lovely items we are creating, we give you a sneak-peak into what we are making, and how we are feeling getting ready for our new endeavor, The Chesterton European Market. The market is a great stop for tourists visiting the Indiana Dunes this summer. We hope to see you if you can make it out to enjoy the artisanal delights this beautiful beach town has to offer!!

Did you know that the birthplace of ecology is Indiana? It’s true! The science of ecology was first described in good old Indiana—thanks in part to the spectacular forested sand dunes along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. In 2019, Indiana Dunes became the 61st national park. In this installment of BirdSense, Kelly Ball, advertising sales director at Bird Watcher’s Digest, discusses this gem and its 15,000 acres of birding turf with Brad Bumgardner, executive director of Indiana Audubon, and Indiana Dunes National Park superintendent Paul Labovitz. In 2014, Paul posed the fateful question, “Why don’t we put on an event for birding?” In 2015, the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival was born! This year’s event, May 13–16, will be a hybrid of in-person and virtual options. If you are interested in potentially getting 200 bird species in four days, check out this episode! Sponsored by the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. Did you know? Redstart Birding will be the optics retail sponsor for the 2021 Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. Attendees will be eligible for a one-time 5% discount on a purchase, PLUS Redstart Birding will donate 5% back to Indiana Dunes Birding Festival Stewardship Fund on all purchases made during the event.

Located 3 hours north of Indianapolis, IN, Indiana Dunes is a park with an amazing background and so many ecosystems to explore! From a beach day in the summer to leaf peeping in the fall and bird watching in the spring, there is something for everyone at this park. Adventure is calling you, safe travels!

On the shores of Lake Michigan at the Indiana Dunes, five distinctive houses - including the legendary House of Tomorrow - are the focus of nearly as much public interest as the famous sand dunes. They also are the focus of this encore show originally broadcast in 2018. Designed as showplace homes for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the houses were brought by barge to the resort town of Beverly Shores, Ind., after the fair closed. During the 80-plus years since arriving at their permanent location, the former exhibit houses - which include residences known as the Florida House and the Cyprus House - have had their share of ups and downs. That's particularly true for the House of Tomorrow, which was built to embody futurists' ideas about how Americans would live during the 21st century. With floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the 12-sided house had the world's first General Electric dishwasher, an automatic garage-door opener and central air conditioning. Its first-floor service area even included a small airplane hangar, on the assumption that personal air travel would be common in the years ahead. "In the midst of the Great Depression, the House of Tomorrow ... offered millions a hopeful vision of a brighter, easier future," noted Indiana Preservation, a publication of Indiana Landmarks. Perched on the Dunes, the five former exhibit houses are the only remaining structures from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, which had a "Century of Progress" theme. Since the mid-1960s, the houses have been part of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Owned by the National Park Service, the houses are leased to Indiana Landmarks, the historic preservation organization. Landmarks, in turn, subleases them to tenants who agree to maintain them. Four of the houses - including the pink Florida House, which has patios with sweeping views of Lake Michigan - are in good shape. But not the House of Tomorrow, which fell into shocking disrepair during the 1990s and is currently unoccupied. A fund-raising campaign is underway by Indiana Landmarks to finance a $3 million restoration, with the house leased upon completion. It no longer has an airplane hangar. Some of the restoration has been done, but no work is currently underway. Todd Zeiger, director of Indiana Landmarks' northern regional office in South Bend, is Nelson's studio guest to describe the colorful saga of the five distinctive homes in Beverly Shores. At the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, 1.2 million people paid 10 cents apiece to tour the House of Tomorrow. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated the house a "National Treasure," a label reserved for "significant structures in dire straits," according to a story in the Indianapolis Star. Because of their location on the Dunes, the houses take a beating from Mother Nature; wind, sand and the harsh winters of far-northern Indiana conspire to make preservation an on-going challenge. The town of Beverly Shores was created during the late 1920s and early '30s by two brothers, Chicago-based developers Frederick and Robert Bartlett, as an exclusive resort for "affluent individuals interested in escaping their crowded urban environment," according to Beverly Shores: A Suburban Dunes Resort (Arcadia Publishing) by Jim Morrow, a preservationist in northern Indiana. The town, which has a population today of about 600 residents, was named for Robert Bartlett's daughter, Beverly. "The House of Tomorrow's nationwide publicity made it an extremely attractive promotional addition to Beverly Shores from Robert Bartlett's perspective," Morrow wrote. "Bartlett had the house sited high on a dune overlooking the lake to take advantage of its transparent walls." Chicago architect George Fred Keck designed the House of Tomorrow, which the press in 1933 described as "America's First Glass House." The Florida House was designed by a Miami-based architect. The pink, Modernist-style house at the Chicago World's Fair captivated visitors, many of whom were living in houses built in Tudor, Queen Anne, Italianate and other architectural styles prevalent during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. For virtual tours of the "Century of Progress" houses from the 1933 World's Fair and their restorations, our guest Todd Zeiger of Indiana Landmarks recommends these online sources: A Century of Progress - overview Our Fair House: Restoring Indiana's Century of Progress Homes

July 2, 1966. Porter County, Indiana. 21-year old Ann Miller, 19-year old Patricia Blough and 19-year old Renee Bruhl leave their homes in Illinois in order to travel to the Indiana Dunes State Park. After taking a spot on the beach next to Lake Michigan, the three women venture into the water, leaving all of their belongings behind. Eyewitnesses would recall seeing them climb into a boat with an unidentified man before they vanished without a trace and there would be a number of different theories about why they went missing. Did the women take off voluntarily? Were they murdered over possible connections to notorious criminal Silas Jayne and his “horse syndicate”? Could their disappearance have been the result of an illegal abortion gone wrong? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we shall explore the truly baffling disappearance of the “Indiana Dunes Women”.

On July 2nd,1966, 3 young suburban Chicago women drove to a popular beach south of Chicago on Lake Michigan, parked their car, and walked to a spot on the beach at Indiana Dunes State Park. They were last seen getting on a boat with 3 men- and from there they disappeared, never to be seen again. Their blankets and personal effects were all left behind. A huge manhunt ensued. Detectives were left without a shred of evidence- despite lots of clues to their private lives and their associates. Someone, somewhere knows something- and it is hoped even today that a clue will reveal itself so friends and family can get some closure. 1001 History Challenge RSS Feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ADL9898865211 Support our show and checkout www.simplisafe.com/1001!

  Welcome! In this episode, we discuss staying warm during the cold months, the first (and most important) thing you should buy for your van build, Indiana Dunes, and how I spent my first night in the van.  TALES FROM THE ROAD: My First Night I put a cot in the van, some plastic crates, and headed out. I knew it would suck, but I also knew it would teach me a lot of what I needed to know to get the project going.    TECH TALK: Buy this first! The first thing you should buy? A fire extinguisher. Seriously. Here's a good one that gives you lots of mounting options: https://amzn.to/2stOwxe   A PLACE TO VISIT: Indiana DunesIt's true! Some of the best dunes in the US are found in Indiana, right on Lake Michigan. - Everything you need to know to plan your visit:  https://www.nps.gov/indu   RESOURCE RECOMMENDATION: Element Van Life on YouTube YouTube has a wealth of information, and Nate's progression from an old Honda Element to a brand new NV200 can teach you a lot about van life. The fact that he's an accomplished video story teller makes each episode engaging, and over time, I think you'll consider Nate a friend you've never met just as I do. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX2_P3E87g-cBAtr1Lihfyw Indiana Dunes, photo by Witoki

Vi går in på två olika fall, där tre män respektive tre kvinnor alla försvunnit spårlöst och vad som faktiskt skedde är än idag ett mysterium. Händelserna utspelar sig i USA och Skottland. Ämnen:Massförsvinnandet vid Flannan Isles Lighthouse & Massförsvinnandet vid Indiana Dunes State Park OBS - Rättelse!I slutet av detta avsnitt nämner vi att en film baserad på ett av fallen släpps år 2020.

Join us as our guest is Charles Williams. It will be interesting as Annette has been a long time resident of the Indiana Dunes area and has done a video a few years back about 'Diana of the Dunes' before most others were talking about it. From Mr. Williams: I have been a paranormal investigator since the 1990's.  I am most currently with two groups; Dale Kaczmarek's Ghost Research Society out of Chicago, and Jc Rositas's Heartland Hauntings out of NW Indiana.   I started Independent filmmaking roughly 6 years ago and have made 3 features; "A Thousand Words...", is the story of Judy Huff's iconic Spirit Photograph taken at Bachelor's Grove Cemetery over 25 years ago now.  She was featured on Zak Bagans "Aftershocks" program, People are still arguing over the authenticity of this photo. "The Science of Mediumship", focuses on Dr. Chuck Kennedy's Project Psi, which includes a group of psychics who center on missing people, especially children, and have thus far helped law enforcement bring back over 50 children. "The Day The Circus DIDN'T Come To Town", is the story of the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus train wreck in Gary, IN in 1918. 86 killed, over 125 injured.  Victims are buried in a mass grave in Forest Park, IL- Woodlawn Cemetery.   "In Search Of... Diana's Driftwood", (Working Title), is the story of Diana of the Dunes. Alice Mable Gray was found when fishermen noticed a nude woman swimming in Lake Michigan at the Indiana Dunes. Here are 2 links to Facebook pages, one for the circus, one for the new Doc on Diana of the Dunes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CircusDoc/, https://www.facebook.com/groups/Doddoc/

Parts of America’s newest National Park, Indiana Dunes, recently had to be shut down because of a chemical spill into the nearby Little Calumet River which flowed into Lake Michigan killing hundreds of fish. As if that’s not problem enough, nearby communities were not informed about the dangers for a matter of days. Howard Learner is an experienced public interest litigation attorney and President and Executive Director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center and joins us.   As we have learned, soil is much more than just ‘dirt’ and its health is crucial to our own survival on the planet. Someone who sees soil perhaps a bit differently than most is Autum Boxum, the soil judging national champion and recent college graduate.

In two incidences lightning hit a tree and the people who were standing nearby were either killed or seriously injured by the electrical field created by the hit. One incident happened in a state park in Maryland and the other in South Carolina. Last year we interviewed a lightning expert who described how campers and hikers are two of the most at risk groups for lightning strikes, and he provided tips on how to stay safe when lightning is in your area.

MIKE BLM considers overnight restrictions as boondockers tear up fragile landscape, leave human waste behind We love to boondock, and one of the best places to do it is on federally owned Bureau of Land Management lands near national parks. The landscape is beautiful, there are little to no people around and it is free. But, as camping off the grid becomes more popular problems are arising, and the BLM iwill likely start getting more involved in some areas. A story out last week highlighted issues of boondockers killing rare wildflowers by driving over and uprooting them, and leaving behind human waste improperly disposed near Moab in Utah. JENNIFER America's new national park, Indiana Dunes, experiencing increase in visitors and many saying it is worth the trip Indiana Dunes National Park on the shores of Lake Michigan is seeing an increase in visitors this season as more people come to see America's newest national park. The park became the nation's 61st national park earlier this year, and while we have written about it before, wanted to share this story because it does a great job of describing what is there. We’ll link to the story in the shownotes for this episode at rvlifestyle.com/250 and if you haven’t yet visited the Dunes…put it on your bucket list. MIKE So how did Utah's gorgeous Dead Horse State Park get its name?   Sometimes when Jen and I are traveling across the country,

Laura has been missing the snow in northern Minnesota. She spent last weekend at the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival.

Our friend Keith Dix the owner of Touchdown RV is here with us today to talk about some of the obstacles that first time RVers face and how to overcome those obstacles. Chris and I have been RVing for several years now, but it wasn’t always that way. From driving the big vehicle to hooking up the lines, there are a lot of unanswered questions that first timers have. We want to help answer these questions and more, so you can enjoy all of the benefits of RVing without any of the added stress. Show Notes [02:15] Keith is an IT guy by trade, but his interests in RVs has taken off into a full time gig. [02:37] Keith got started with an old 1980 RV that they didn't use much. Then he realized that renting RVs around holidays is difficult. Then he got the idea to buy his own and start a business around that. [04:36] Class A RVs look like buses. Class C looks like vans. Travel trailers need to be pulled by a truck. [05:33] Touchdown RV has models ranging from 22 feet all the way up to 35 feet. [05:49] Most RVs have 7 or 8 seat belts. [06:47] Most RV accidents happen in gas stations, keep in mind the size of the vehicles. Use your mirrors and cameras. [07:57] To choose the best RV, budget and plan for the amount of money you have and the amount of people who will be with you. [09:31] Rental costs for a week could be about $1500 to $2000. [11:46] There are so many RV campgrounds, and you can map out your route with Google. Think of fun destinations like Yellowstone or Indiana Dunes. [14:18] Branches of Niagara is a great campground. [16:09] RV spots have picnic tables and campfire areas. [17:10] Get a campground with full hookup. This means that you have electricity, water, and sewer. Turning the generator on gives you electricity. The RV also has an on-board holding tank. It's a self contained little world. [18:53] Walmart and Cracker Barrel let you park overnight if needed. [19:39] Get the best hoses, the best connectors, and gloves. [23:02] Renting an RV can help you overcome the fear of RVing. [23:50] The shower is a real shower. [25:11] RVs can be great for extended family trips, weddings in non-traditional places, movie talent, tailgate parties and more. [29:44] Disney has campgrounds that accept RVs.

In the summer of 1966, by the shores of Lake Michigan, three young women visit Indiana Dunes State Park over the 4th of July weekend. They stretched out their towels on the sand, suntan lotions and personal items on the packed shore. At one point, they are seen talking to a young man. They are never seen again. They left behind their belongings on the beach along with a lot of questions. Liz from Perhaps It's You podcast guest co-hosted on this podcast.
