#20! HOOSIER HILL

It was a lot of fun driving to this high point!  I got off Interstate 70 and then drove about ten miles over route 227.  The road was one rolling hill after another!  I felt like I was on a roller coaster!  After going airborne on one hill, I decided it was time to drive the posted speed limit (especially after noticing the tire marks left on the road from previous drivers who probably did the same thing I did).  It was fun!!  Up and down, up and down…  This high point is on private property so I called the owner before driving to the hill.  I didn’t get an answer, but the guidebook states that is your permission to ‘klimb’.  So I arrived at the farmhouse, took a right hand turn onto the hay field and there it was.  The opening to the woods and the hill.  I was thankful for the newly placed marker signs.  This high point didn’t have any road signs until a local scout lobbied for them.  And the old stone cairn over the fence is also gone.  It is a nice point in the woods with a high pointers bench, register and marker!  The drive back to Ohio was just as fun driving in the other direction!  Up and down… 🙂
