Day Five, Bloomington, IN: A Different Road

Today, I left Cincinnati and drove to Bloomington, where I’m staying with a friend from college. I feel that this is where I’m finally departing from a normal course. Cincinnati was familiar; everything on the road ahead is not.

Most of the drive through was what you might call “scenic;” forest uninterrupted except by small towns like Gnaw Bone. There were dance barns, country jamborees, and an unusual number of flea markets.

I had planned on spending tomorrow at the Hoosier National Forest outside of Bloomington, but the forecast isn’t looking promising at this point. So we’ll see how that turns out.

  1. You might check out the Bedford Stone Quarries about 19 miles south of Bloomington. The quarries are no longer in operation and the holes have become swimming pools--see the movie "Breaking Away".
