History and Cruising

I just returned from a five day cruise to Ohio and back. It was in conjunction with a Midwest get-together of American Road Magazine Forum members. Not only was this quite a bit of history and road history in particular, but some unique and great eating was involved and there were 20 NTN sites of which 18 were new to me.

A short summary of the trip.

THURSDAY-- April 23rd-- I needed to be in Indianapolis Friday morning which made it necessary to leave the day before. I went to seven NTN places in Indiana ( 1 in Lafayette, 1 in Lebanon, and five around Indianapolis.

FRIDAY-- Apreil 24th-- Met two other roadfolk, Pat and Jennifer, at Charlie Brown's Pancakes in Speedway and then went on a tour of both the speedway and museum of the Indianapolis 500, saw the graves of Benjamin Harrison, John Dillinger, Richard Gatling, and Carl Fisher at the Crown Hill Cemetery, and drove around downtown Indianapolis, seeing the Soldier and Sailors Monument and the athletic venues.

More to Come. --Cooter
