Day 9: May 28 – Indy500, Relaxing

Saturday at the Indy500 is generally quiet from an ‘on-track activities’ perspective as drivers completed their last practice yesterday. Today there is a parade in downtown Indianapolis but as we’re in RVs there’s no way for us to easily get there to watch. As such, today is a day to relax and finally soak up some sunshine.

Yes, it has stopped raining. The camping field is sodden and squelch’s with every step. We can only hope that the predicted 2 days of sunshine will dry the ground enough to allow us to drive out when ready.

Camping field is filling up!

Our newest arrivals, Dean took Brian and Aiden for a walk along Georgetown Road past the track to look around as it’s their first time in Indy. The rest of us relaxed and did some cleaning and organizing…. Camp day.

In the afternoon, we played some ‘Cornhole’ while enjoying a few beverages. Cornhole is almost a national sport in these parts with many many sites having setup boards and bags.

Cornhole, fun or competitive?

We ended the afternoon with a steak dinner accompanied with some very nice red wine all followed by strawberry shortcake. Hey, I never said we wouldn’t be enjoying ourselves on this trip. It’s not all about rain and mud. 😎
