Turkey Run State Park / Bazbeaux Pizza / Chatterbox Jazz Club

Amy Schreiber and I hiked ten miles through Turkey Run State Park located around an hour and a half west of Indianapolis. The park is a not so hidden gem of Indiana, which was evident by the hordes of people descending over the Labor Day weekend. With that being said, the park was a neat experience despite the crowds. Water has etched deep canyons and flume like features within the sandstone lining the banks of Sugar Creek. There is some minor scrambling here and there, and also a fun series of ladders that we used to descend down a couple of ledges. There were even times when water flowing through the overhanging canyons had a Zion/Subway like feel. 

After the hike, Amy and I drove back into Indianapolis and got pizza at Bazbeaux, which is located downtown. Our personalized pizza was awesome...consisting of pepperoni, chorizo, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, feta, and red sauce. I promise you can't go wrong with that set of ingredients. Well, maybe the addition of basil would have perfected our concoction. Our pizza dinner was then followed by an hour of jazz at the Chatterbox, which had great atmosphere and music.
