Indiana – No Time for Turkey
September 3rd, 2015
Arriving at Turkey Run State Park, I was reminded why I haven’t visited many state parks so far. Their fees are usually around 8 bucks, but having to pay for a park just seems so dumb to me. To add to that, they charge more if you’re from out of state, which is hard to […]
Indiana – I Like to Wander
September 2nd, 2015
Though Indiana is small, it still takes some time to drive around and hit everything. Another day of wandering was in order to see some sights, and get some work done. I started off with some car work and then headed off to the Indiana Art Museum. I’d heard it was free, which meant I […]
Indiana – Stranger Things Have Happened
September 1st, 2015
Indianapolis! Home of the Indy 500 and…uh…other…things… Unfortunately, I didn’t get to find a visitor center upon arriving to the state, so my information on what was around was limited to trip adviser and random event pages. Armed with no idea, a camera and a bike, I wandered off. Indianapolis is one of the smaller […]
Indiana – Gold Sand
August 31st, 2015
Saying goodbye will never be easy, especially with such short visits and long stretches between them. But, it was time to move on, and even though I’d only spent a few days in Illinois and only one city, time restrictions sent me to Indiana. The first destination was to see the Indiana Sand Dunes. A […]
Illinois – Field is a Misnomer
August 28th, 2015
After a long day of biking, not dying, eating good food, and staying up far too late, we decided to get up early and attack the day to make the most of it. Not. Rolling out of bed at 11, I was the first one up and took the time to stretch and gain function. […]
Illinois – Museum Take 1
August 27th, 2015
There isn’t a whole lot in Illinois. In the south a lot of rock formations and tons to do around the St. Louis area, the middle is more farm land, and the north has Chicago. Abby and I agreed that a slow start to the day would be best, with a morning of chores since […]
Illinois – Jell-O Legs
August 25th, 2015
Oh yeah! I made it! Chi-Town, aka Chicago, was here. I woke up, and drove into the north side of the city to where my friend Abby lives to claim a parking spot. Though she lives about 10 miles north of the city, I didn’t mind the long bike ride as it went down the […]
Illinois – On My way
August 25th, 2015
Another day, a new home, not much more. I wanted across the river, and border, to Illinois in hopes that the other two cities in the quad city area would have more attractions. They didn’t. Determined to move about and discover, I hopped on my bike. Thankfully it was a Sunday, so there was zero […]
