Day 2 July 13, 2009




Up in time for a nice brisk walk for 30 minutes. Ate the free breakfast and got out of town by 9:30 AM. Decided to take our time and drive some non interstate hiways. Took I74 a few miles into Indiana and drove Indiana 63 south to Terra Haute and picked up US 41 to Vincennes. Very nice 4 lane hiway that showed us the countryside at a slower pace. Stopped for gas the first time north of Terra Haute. (New Toyota gets over 30 miles to the gallon!!!) After some road construction on the south side of Terra Haute, we continued south and stopped at a roadside market and picked up a small bambi melon and a tomato. We ate these at our lunch stop at a roadside park in Shoal, IN on US Hwy 150 in the southern part. The tomato almost tasted like homegrown and the melon was very good.

After lunch we drove thru some very pretty scenery of the Hoosier National Forest and on to French Lick, IN and Lake Pagato, just north of I-64. We saw a huge hotel that was very picturesque with a cobblestone brick boulevard leading up to it.

Finished the day by driving another 6 hours to my brother Mark's in Kingsport, TN arriving at 9:00 PM. Got to visit with Mom, Mark and Tami for a while before hitting the hay.
