Yesterday I took a rather scenic (read...I got a bit turned around) route to Bloomington IN.  It was flat until I reached Nashville, IN  (not "the" TN Nashville).  Nashville, IN is just under 20 miles from Bloomington.  Though it was dark when I arrived, I can tell this part of Indiana is beautiful.  The glaciers didn't make it to the southern part of the state, so it has a much more interesting topography than the northern part of the state.

I am a member of a motorcycle travel network I'll write about soon.  We all make our homes available to host other riders for a nominal fee of $15 a night.  Pretty cool and a great way to meet neat people.

Barry and Bonnie Martin (not related to me) are two such people.  Really good folks.  I pulled into their garage about 9:00pm last night, had good conversation, got some sleep, and am about to take off for St. Louis, MO.  Five hours closer to Dallas..home.
