After a stop with family in Janesville, WI, I pressed on into Illinois, skirting around Chicago and into Indiana. I then cut south to I-70 and Indianapolis, where I stopped in to see the capitol.
I'd been through Indianapolis plenty during my time living in Dayton, OH, but I only remember blasting through. I did go to one big Promise Keepers stadium event back in the late 90's that
may have been in Indianapolis, but I can't be sure.
Being another weekday, I was able to get in to the capitol again. Nothing as exciting as Madison, but very nice nonetheless.
Down the street was another very impressive Civil War memorial, and it's being spruced up since Indianapolis is hosting the Super Bowl this year.
I then pressed east and discovered that the Indiana state high point wasn't too far off I-70. It was a bit of a scavenger hunt as my only guide was a Road Atlas, and that part of Indiana wasn't exactly mountainous. But, sure enough I did keep climbing on the road, and thankfully, there was a sign.
The actual spot is privately owned, but at least they've put up a marker. Not that notable of a view either -- but that's part of the fun!
