Day 3 - Chesterton-Porter

We travelled to Lafayette today and spent the day touring and talking with students and teachers at Purdure University. It was an interesting and very rewarding day. I was able to speak with Judy Loven State Director of Wildlife Services at Purdue. We had great discussions regarding wildlife nuisance animals and other pest animals and public perceptions on the different control techniques that are or are not accepted.

The trip up and back was also interesting seeing the different landscapes and the large cropping enterprises along the road. It was interesting to note that although there is much water laying around that later in the year centre pivot irrigation may still be required.

We also got time to have a look around some of the shops especially the Purdue gift shop and I got to look at an Antique store whilst the others had an afternoon drink in one of the local establishments.

After returning from our day trip Joyce took me to "Red Lobster" where I had a fabulous feed of a mixture of lobster, shrimp, and other seafood treats. It was scrumptious and I would recommend it to anyone.

Cheerio for now.
