An apology to Indiana
Yesterday I made some general observations about differences between Ohio and Indiana. Like many generalizations, they didn't hold up after further observations. I hope I didn't offend any Hoosiers. Today we passed through several attractive and prosperous Indiana towns.

We rode down a road with a rumble strip separating the shoulder from the traffic lane. What a difference from yesterday. This rumble strip was a couple of inches narrower, and started right under the white line instead of in the middle of the shoulder. These 2 minor but thoughtful changes made all the difference. This shoulder was safer for both bikes and cars. It was drizzling at the time, so we didn't grab a picture of the improved rumble strip design, but we did get shots of some cute animals we met along the road.
The majority of our ride today was on very low traffic farm roads. We finished our ride on a nice bike trail around Noblesville and Westfield. Well done Indiana!

Matriarch says:
About silos: silos are for storing silage for animal feed. No animals, no silos. Grain is stored in low bins or taken directly to the elevators.

Yesterday, the forecast for today made it seem almost certain that we would get soaked. As it turned out, the weather was delightful, with only a brief sprinkle after lunch. Note to self: worrying about possible rain is not a good use of mental energy.
