2013 - May 23 Tour of the Eisenhower Farm

We went to the Visitor Center to by tickets for the bus ride and tour of the Eisenhower Farm. Ike bought the place in 1950 while contemplating retirement from the presidency of Columbia University, but their move to the farm was delayed by a decade when he accepted the offer to run for president of the United States.

We stopped in town for lunch and groceries before returning to the campground. Marsha did the laundry while I took a nap. I'm feeling a bit better, but my stomach muscles are sore from coughing so much.

Dinner was at 5:30 followed by door prize drawings and the drawing of the name of the quilt winner. The quilt raffle raised $800 for the Battlefield Trust. The evening's entertainment was provided by Bil (yes, "Bil") Lepp, renowned story teller and five-time winner of the West Virginia Liars' Contest. The guy was hilarious. Google him.

It started raining pretty hard during Bil's performance, but had let up by the time we headed back to the camper. Tomorrow, we head north to Ole Bull State Park for four nights. There's no phone reception or Internet there, so it may be a while before I post again, but keep checkin'!
