Back from Southern Indiana and about I-69

Tired and realizing I am getting old. I remember when driving 200 miles was not so tiring. Glad to be home.

I see that the open thread experiment did not work very well but better than it has before. More on those comments later.

If you really want to know why the push was for a new terrain I-69 instead of using US 41, go from Anderson to Washington, Indiana. You can take 69 to 465 to either 67 or I-70. You can then take 67 through Spencer down to 57 and then follow 57 into Washington. The route is not much different if you take I-70. Just get off at the Cloverdale exit and head south. An even better idea for why there is a new all terrain 69 is this: go from Anderson to Indianapolis to Bloomington and then towards Bloomfield. As my father (whose father, my grandfather was born in Greene County) says, be glad you got good roads nowadays because it was even worse sixty years ago. The new terrain route exists for opening a neglected area of the state (and, if some conversations I have had down there are any indication, an area feeling the neglect).
