On one of our trips we saw a sign for Spring Mills Sate Park. This park is located in the town of Mitchell, Indiana off Hwy 60. This is not your run of the mill state park. There was so many things to do and explore that one would have to take a weekend to fully appreciate the experience this park has to offer. When you first go in the gate, immediately to your right is a museum honoring astrouaught Virgil Grissom. Grissom was a native of Mitchell, In.

Once we toured the museum, we ventured on into the park. Spring Mills Park boasts several caves which you can explore on your own. Make sure you take a flashlight with you as these caves are still in their natural state. For the less adventurous caver, there is a spectacular boat cave tour which Tom and I took. We had a blast. Caves are usually a natural 69 degrees all year round.
