We left Cumberland, Maryland at 5:50AM under some light rain. It was 71.6 degrees inside, 58.6 degrees outside. We finally arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana at 1:00 PM central time. It's cloudy outside.

We took I-68 east to I-79, then north to I-70 and we're back on the original plan. (I-68 just allows you to avoid the Pennsylvania Turnpike and all it's stops and tolls.) Maryland, West Virginia, Western Penn and Eastern Ohio are very pretty. Lots of trees and rolling hills. Western Ohio begins a more flatter topography with lots of farm land. Still pretty, just different.

The first photo is Dad gassing up in Morgantown, Maryland. Notice the wet pavement and messy state of Dad's car.

Second is Pennsylvania "Welcome". This is the closest I'll ever get to Independence Hall, I guess.

Next, it's almost heaven...West Virgina. (John Denver) You re-enter West Virginia briefly between Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Fourth picture is "Good B(ucke)ye, Ohio!

Finally, Indiana. The nations's crossroads. So, do we go north? South? I think southwest...hmm...

Anyway, I'll write again from somewhere deep in the midwest!

Sincerely,

Jordan
