Indiana Trip - Day 1

Left Milton at 2000. Took US-90 to FL-89, then changed to FL-87. Crossed Alabama border around 2100 - saw racoons in the middle of the road. Changed to US-31 in Brewton and later switched to US-84. Eventually on I-65 - continued to Montgomery and Birmingham. Saw huge rockets near Huntsville just after 2315. Decided to continue to Indiana (no hotel tonight!). Hardly any traffic all the way to Nashville - made it to Bowling Green by 0315. Easy drive to Louisville - crossed Ohio river at 0600 (about 600 miles in nine hours). Bypassed Indianapolis on I-465 - just missing some big construction and the beginnings of rush hour. Next on I-69 - all the way to exit 55. Saw signs for James Dean's boyhood home. Took IN-26 to Taylor University and then drove into Upland. Found Sarah's apartment without too much trouble (0845). Really tired, but stayed up for a little while to talk with her. Bed (finally!) at 1100...
