Dillinger robbed it & we ate there

Today we went with Dave & Donna to Hudson, IN to meet Harold & Karen at a place called Dillingers for lunch.  It was a bank in the 1930s and was robbed by John Dillinger.  Hudson is a very small town in the boonies.  Apparently John was passing through the area and stopped a t a few local banks to make some withdrawals.  He got $1700 from the Hudson bank but not before exchanging gun fire with the local cop who was across the street.  No one was hurt.

 

The original safe is still there and is behind the bar.

 

Here's an original window and you can see three bullet holes if you look at the tree above and left of Harold's truck.

 

 

Bye Randy & Devyn! Hello road!

Our time in Michigan is over.  We have said our good-byes to Randy & Devyn  and Thursday we pulled out.  We weren't sure we'd leave Thursday because the truck has been in the shop for a new water pump and oil leak but we picked it up at this morning after dropping Devyn off at high school.  Yep, the little one is now in high school.  Thanks for the pasture campsite this summer Randy!  We think you will enjoy your new job at Ford!  It will be exciting.

 

When we looked out the door this morning we know Larry, Moe & Curly don't want us to leave.  They brought us two gifts to try and make us stay longer.  The mouse will make randy happy because they are doing their job.  The other "thing" beside is a big bug.

Our first stop was after a short 100 mile trip to Shipshewana, IN.  We'll spend two nights here visiting with Dave & Donna Driver.  We saw them in August in Manistee & we'll see them again when they come to Gulf Shores in December.  We are on the right and their home is on the left in the above picture.
