When we tried to take a photo of the Indianapolis downtown skyline while we motored along through the city our tiny digital camera wouldn't function. We thought we would have no pictures to make record of our day's travels. But, later just for the heck of it we tried again, and presto! It worked!

So, here is another of only three photos taken today as we passed through all the little villages and towns on US 136 between Indianapolis, Indiana and Bloomington, Illinois.

It is great therapy for the modern man and woman, getting off the "fast lane" of every day life and taking the "road less traveled" as we have expressed before, but which we say once more.

This drive today was so pleasant. The scenes weren't as breathtaking and spectacular as some we've had but beautiful and very refreshing none the less. Driving at speeds well below 50 mph (30 mph through most townships) with time to actually see the countryside and the houses and small businesses; the old historic buildings and the quiet, modest middle American homes, so many decorated for Halloween and the Autumn season was just a delight.
