Oct 28 - Southern Indiana

On Sunday we left Corydon to go back home to Fort Wayne with a stop planned in Bloomington to visit with John. Our path took us down Indiana Route 66 and we found an chainsaw garden in someone's yard.




Further down the road we saw a huge pumpkin farm.






In Mitchell, Indiana we stopped to see the Gus Grissom memorial.




We made it to Bloomington by noon and met John at his dorm. He was able to show us a video of his last composition performed at IU, a trio performed with a violin, viola, and a vocalist. It was very expressive, beautiful and captivating, we liked it a lot. We went to a nature preserve in Bloomington and had a picnic lunch. Afterwards, John went off to practice his sax and we hit the road for the final leg of the trip back home.






Three hours later we made it home to find the roof still on the house Zack & Jenny had survived and we had two joyful golden retrievers.
