Driving through Indiana was similar to going through Illinois. The countryside was beautiful farmland in rolling hills, mostly planted in corn. Everything looked so fresh and green. Look carefully at the roof of the barn in the picture. The picture of the flag and eagle is not painted on. It is done by using roofing shingles of different colors when the roof was put on. We saw several different ones done this way.
We stopped tonight just south of South Bend, Indiana. Sandy wanted to see Notre Dame, so we went to town and drove around the campus a bit. The tower picture is actually the admissions office for St Mary's which is part of the Notre Dame complex. Very pretty campus, but Notre Dame had LOTS of construction going on.
As we traveled north, diesel kept coming down in price, largely following the reduction in crude oil prices. About 40 miles west of Indianapolis, we filled up for $4.27 a gallon. So when we got into South Bend, still in Indianna, and about 90 miles north, we looked for diesel. The first sign we saw said $5.09 a gallon. We thought that must be a joke, but it was not. We finally found some for $4.79, but the pump would only let me have $50 on one card swipe. I was so PO'd by then, I refused to get more. We will look for fuel when we get into Michigan.
