We had a slow start this morning but finally got on the road about 11:15. There were lilacs blooming in the campground, so I helped myself to a bouquet for the road.
We headed out on I-64 until we picked US 50, which took us right into Vincennes. It was a nice day for a drive, a little overcast, until we neared the Indiana border, then we got into some showers. As usual, Indiana was going to welcome us with clouds and rain.
Although the rivers in this part of the country have receded somewhat, the ground is absolutely saturated and they do not need another drop of rain right now. We passed many fields with standing water, and many creeks still out of their banks.
Lots of these fields have irrigation pivots in these flooded fields -- they sure won't need to use them for a while.
We are almost there!
We crossed the Red Skelton Bridge (our home-town most famous person), then the Wabash River. It was running full, and the bottom ground next to it was still flooded. Then we were in Indiana. At 3:00 p.m.
We took the bypass around town, but it must have taken 5 minutes to get onto Decker Road -- I guess we hit "rush hour" traffic! Then we got railroaded about 2 miles from the house. All things Indiana. We got there about 3:15, and found Lucille inside -- we think she was sleeping but she denies that. It's good to be "home" and it's good to see Lucille. And she's looking good!
