Today was a trek across the Land of Lincoln into Indiana, Karen’s ancestral home. Her parents were both Hoosiers (interesting tidbit: some accounts have it that the origin of the term, Hoosier, came from the 1830's when census-takers would ask, "who's there?"), and various aunts, uncles, and cousins still live here. Tomorrow, we’ll say hello to one of her cousins, David Martin, in Fort Wayne, IN.
On the way here, we went over a covered bridge in Amish country near Morrison, IL. The remainder of the trip was through miles and miles (again) of corn and soybean fields lined with wild flowers.
Next: On to Ohio and Pennsylvania
