Abe Martin Lodge & Our Adventure at Brown County State Park Indiana

Hubby and I were staying in Indianapolis for 4 months and we did not miss any interesting and fun to do in Indiana. On weekend, we do visit tourist attractions and one day we decided to visit the Brown County State Park and stayed in Abe Martin lodge. We loved the lodge since it was cleaned, helpful and friendly staff, the room that we had was primitive design, and it has comfortable bed as you can see in the picture here that I posted. At Brown County State Park, they do have a nature’s center which is educational for all ages and I liked that place since you can see different kinds of birds eating clearly and also hear their voice but they birds cannot see you as you are inside and it is mirrored and tinted. Anyway, while we were staying there at Abe’s Martin lodge, we did walk in the forest alot and we found a place where we can ride a horse, which is located about three-five minutes away from the lodge. I have not ridden a horse before and it was my first time. I felt scared as I was thinking might the horse will kick me or will hurt me badly but my husband did encourage me and urged me to ride a horse and he explained it to me that they were trained and it will not be going to kick me. I saw a girl road a pony and I was thinking, I will be fine and I saw some first timer people who rode and they were fine. I have decided to try out and everything was alright and makes me proud of myself but for about an hour ride, it hurts my butt and in the next day, it even hardly for me to walk and my husband laughed at me as I walked like a robot (laughed). The name of my horse was cowgirl (ha-ha) and she was good to me. We had wonderful time riding a horse, staying at Abe’s Martin lodge and walking in the Brown County State park.
