Great pictures, Ed! And I'm sorry about the SS, but there'll be other times. Having grown up in IN, I've been on many of those roads. We lived in the country outside Terre Haute (pronounced "Terryhut" with the accent on the first syllable by us hoosiers) when John was first teaching at Indiana State. You missed our favorite bbq joint near Johnson City,TN, but again, there'll be other trips! And we stayed in a wonderful B&B overlooking the Ohio River in Leavenworth, IN. You probably rode right by it. What a great ride! =D>

Hey Jody - small world - I am a veritable Terre Haute, sin city, Banks of the Wabash native! We properly pronounce the name as Tair-a Hote (long O, silent E) :lol: . Anyway, I spent Saturday night at our old homestead on south Poplar Street across from Woodrow Wilson middle school. Good to know there's at least one other Hoosier out here!
