I think we were in Geneva Indiana, and after having been disappointed by the ‘swiss hotel’ McDonalds in Berne, we took a slightly different route and along the way, saw this:

The word Limberlost and Loblolly Marsh appeared on several signs. I pulled in and let JJ take a couple pictures, but as it was after 5pm, we chose not to go in. And we were anxious to get home after all the driving. I checked Google from my iphone and found that Gene Stratton-Porter was a writer and naturalist. And she wrote a book called “Girl of the Limberlost” which has been made into a movie at least 3 times. We will seek it out on netflix or someplace. Apparently it involved selling moths. I had no idea there was money in moths. Even swamp moths.

Well worth the late arrival back at the treehouse, and we went to bed almost immediately.
