From: Prairie Creek Bridge: US 52 Lebanon, Indiana
To:
US 52 and Stockwell Rd, Tippecanoe, Indiana
Distance: 20.8 Miles
Topography:
Flatter than you could possibly believe. Winter is clearly on
its cruel and windy march. The corn has been harvested and the
fields are barren.
Weather:
Ominous clouds threatening all day to erase the surprising warmth
of a blazing day. Perfect walking weather, but very eerie, what
with all the missing corn.
Landmarks:
Several churches and plenty of town signs to let us know we were
actually making progress, considering we felt as if we were on
one of those never ending Flintstone's sets.
