Road Trip - Day 2
Day 2 started off a bit on the back foot with a few scratches to the car when someone backed into our car in the parking lot. But overall it has been good.
We had a brief stopover at Hocking Hills in Logan, Ohio. The ride was a curvy and up and down ride, almost like a roller-coaster. My friend Arun was executing all those curves at 60 miles an hour and it was tough not to be scared. But he was within the speed limit at all times. Wonder if they made a mistake in calibrating the speed limit on that road. But the drive through the farm lands was awesome.
We first went to the Cedar falls, but it was a bit of a disappointment though with not much water at the fall. But that did not dampen the spirits of the people who had turned up at the place.
The next stop was at the Logan Lake and it was beautiful as we expected it to be. But again disappointment came our way as all the boats were already rented.
At the lake I happened to see a lady who had apparently come there on her Harley sit and work away on her laptop placed on one of the benches adjoining the lake. I really envied her work-space. Really beats the pale grey cubicles at the office. Also saw some parents and grandparents fishing in the lake with their kids and grand-kids..
Arun & I sat on the banks for a while, took in the view and then drove another 200 miles to Indianapolis.
It was a smooth and uneventful drive. Saw a lot of bikers on the way and also had an experience of the mid-western US Storms when we drove through one. Heard that the storm made a stage at a rock concert collapse killing 4 people in Indiana.
Slowly we are easing into this road-trip and looking forward to our next destination - Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota. That should be an interesting place. But we have a long drive of 800 miles tomorrow to get there.
