Short western interlude

Couple of things we wanted to see and do to the west so today we headed that way taking back roads as much as possible.  Not far along our way we passed a small brown sign with an arrow pointing up a small country road.  We had to follow it.  Had to drive on a half mile before we could turn the carbus around and return to the road.  About a mile down the road we came to a cemetery all by itself in the middle of nowhere (actually a pretty common thing in the mid-west).  We did a quick web search on our goal and found detailed instructions as to row and marker count.  Followed the instructions to this:

P1000696

To the right was this:

P1000697

 

The state of Ohio placed an historical marker next to Annie’s grave.

P1000694P1000695

May be hard to read.

Never know what you will come across on the back roads.  Today we also passed the highest point in Indiana (similar in topography to Mount Sunflower in Kansas) and Wilbur Wrights birth place. 

We stopped in Indianapolis to visit the Verizon store that we bought our phones from and get paperwork that they did not provide at the time.

Tonight we are in a very nice state park with lots of hiking trails.  Unfortunately it started raining just as we got here.  Oh  well.  There will be others.
