AUGUST 29th-- Sunday-- Part 1
This was my day to really drive US-150. I spent quite a bit of time in Vincennes, Indiana. I knew about its Revolutionary War history where George Rodgers Clark captured the British fort and about this being where Abraham Lincoln's family crossed over the Wabash River into Illinois.
But, I didn't know the town was the capital of Indiana Territory and home to William Henry Harrison before he became president and where he had a lot of dealings with Indians.
US-150 is aligned with US-50 until Shoals where the two split. The drive from Loogootee (how's that for a name) to Paoli goes through Hoosier National Forest and is really great drive, right up there with Ind-46 from Columbus to Bloomington.
Lots of curves, hills, tree tunnels, rock sides and just great driving. I highly recommend it. Paoli has a beautiful downtown square (actually more of a circle and a courthouse.
Continued on to Louisville, Kentucky.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
