Allison, I do love our Gomer Pyle singing Back Home Again -- but I'm afraid you're right that he's not going to be able to do that again.<br /><br />Heidi -- glad you survived your dispatching experience! One of our retired dispatchers moved to MT for awhile. Thirteen years is amazing ... I've been doing it for not quite 20 years, and burned out a decade ago.<br /><br />I hope everyone gets a chance to visit our state someday. Yes, I'm a busy man, but I try never to be so busy that I can't go out and enjoy my surroundings.Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-26908727226765680022013-03-04T11:34:10.334-06:002013-03-04T11:34:10.334-06:00Interesting post on a state I've only driven t...Interesting post on a state I've only driven through on my way to visit family who live farther away. I had an aunt who lived in South Bend, but attending her wake was the last time I was there. Indiana is much like my home state of Illinois, with the cornfields broken up by an occasional very big city. And of course, the Lake Michigan shoreline, with smaller lakes dotted throughout the state. <br />I enjoyed your humorous post. Thanks for sharing your take on the Midwest.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-27898273628804960812013-03-03T15:42:31.198-06:002013-03-03T15:42:31.198-06:00Love your humor, Mark, and the fact that you, as a...Love your humor, Mark, and the fact that you, as a man, write romantic comedy. <br /><br />I worked as a 9-1-1- dispatcher for 13 years in Missoula MT.

Yep, born and bred in Indiana, a real Hoosier. I still get choked up on race day when 'Gomer' sings Back Home Again In Indiana.

That said, I have visited both Falls of the Ohio State Park and Dunes State Park. Both are fascinating places and I enjoyed my visits tremendously. Thanks for you post.
