Indiana's Highpoint

Just after we summited Ohio's high point we drove to Hoosier Hill in Indiana. I gave Becki her second manual transmission driving lesson in route. Becki did some unintended tire spinning :) Indiana's high point was quite anti-climatic since it is not obvious at all that it is the highpoint of anything. We did however see a sundog from near the summit.

Ohio's Highpoint

Becki and I summited Ohio's high point today. This is our first highpoint! On our way out of Columbus, I experienced Skyline Chili for the first time. I think it is an acquired taste. It was only an hour drive to Bellefontaine. The crux of our climb was a locked gate which was supposed to be open (I contacted a supervisor earlier in the week). Just 49 more to go. Now on to Indiana this evening...

The crux.

Welcome

Becki and I were driving up to Sandusky Ohio with my parents to enjoy some rides at Cedar Point. On the way up Becki told us how she heard a story on NPR about "highpointing". She explained how some adventures people are going to the highest point of each state. We both talked about it and got really excited. This is a great project for us to do together. I'll keep you posted on our progress. We expect to take a decade or two to complete all 50 states.
