North Carolina Bound: Summer 2010-- Part 6-- Indiana

Heading east from Dennison, Illinois, US-150 left Il-1 and picked up US-40 and eventually also became the National Road. I went through two really, really small towns that dropped the speed limit down to 30 mph, even though they were so small it shouldn't have been so low. One was West Terrie Haute.

I crossed the Wabash River and was in Terre Haute. I've been through this city, the home of Indiana State University many times, but never entering from the west, always from the north on Indiana-63 ( follow US-41, but it takes a big detour east south of Carbondale).

The land is heavily forested here and part of it is called Mother Guerrin Memorial Highway and there is a St. Mary of the Woods religious complex.
