Day 2 - Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club

Today we had a lovely breakfast at District Governor Jim Jeseinick and Mary Kay's house. It was a sumptuous feed that we all thoroughly enjoyed. This put us in good stead to go watch Steve Barker and his crew undertake a controlled environmental burn at Coffee Creek Watershed. It was great to see the care they took in protecting the man-made structures, to ensure minimal smoke and maximise the burn to reduce the weed burden of the area and enhance native vegetation growth.

Afterwards we were treated to the Bass Pro Shop which has to be the biggest single shop I have ever seen. They had just about everything you could think of including fishing equipment, clothing, camping, clothing and a massive selection of guns and bows. The store also had an amazing restaurant where we had lunch .

The day was rounded off by a fantastic evening with the Chesterton-Porter Rotary group and spouses. We had a lovely dinner and a great number of questions after our presentations. We all felt right at home.
