2,036 Miles & Hoosier Hill Trip Report Posted

In State Highpoints by Robert Danger Byrd / September 27, 2015 / 1 Comment

We have clocked 2,036 miles in BigByrd and crossed from Ohio into Indiana earlier today. After completing the Indiana highpoint around mid-day, we decided to push straight through to East St. Louis Illinois. Having already spent a fair amount of time in Indiana I was keen to do something new. I have never been to St Louis, and since we are ahead of schedule we will spend some time there before we do the Missouri highpoint and head back to Texas.

Hoosier Hill Trip Report
On Sunday September 27th of 2015, I found myself sitting on a rock and not just any old rock mind you. This particular rock rested at the lofty elevation on 1,257′ making it the highest rock in Indiana. This was highpoint #5 of 6 completed during our  2015 East Central Trip and it was #38 out of the 50 states for me.

Hoosier Highpoint Completed

It was a harrowing climb to the barely discernible summit of Hoosier High Point, but I’m sitting on the rock that marks the 1,257′ top of Indiana.

There is no discernible geographical prominence here (it’s flat), but, it’s a charming setting nestled in the woods at the edge of a cornfield in rural Indiana.

Leaving Ohio & Trip Report Posted

In State Highpoints by Robert Danger Byrd / September 27, 2015 / 0 Comments

After spending a single night in Ohio, we will be leaving today for Indiana where I’ll complete Hoosier Hill the highpoint of that state. It’s only 80 miles further west, so we’ll drop the coach along the interstate and take the Jeep north to the highpoint before continuing on to who knows were. I like this unscripted style of travel, but it’s stresses Susan out a bit.
