West Lafayette, IN USA
My family was camping at Prophetstown State Park in West Lafayette/Battle Ground, IN. On our last night of a 5 night trip (July 13), my son wanted to go fishing in their fishing pond. To get there, one has to walk on the popular bike trail. As we were walking, I looked over and saw something hanging on a shrub. I almost didn’t walk over to see what it was since my hands were full, but then felt a pull to go look. It was a beautiful quilted heart! Thank you to the person who took the time to make my heart and hide it. It’s going to hang in our camper as we continue visiting all the beautiful parks Indiana has to offer!
