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.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
