Imagine my surprise when I discovered that less than an hour from Indianapolis, Rush County has a long history of covered bridges. Feeling like a snack was in order, we headed over to the largest city in Rush County, appropriately named Rushville and decided to check out a local favorite, Stagg’s Dairy Treats & Restaurant. Both of these (Smith Covered Bridge and the Norris Ford Covered Bridge) were easy to find but impossible to stop and walk around. The afternoon was fading and with two more bridges to find, we decided to knock one off the list as it would take us further away from home, so we set off to find Offutt’s Ford Covered Bridge.

The Pool – Summer is prime pool time in Las Vegas, and the pool at the ParkMGM was perfect.
