I've been wandering a lot lately and not that I mind. I love exploring and sharing Best-of-Show assets, as well as more understated assets. Two weeks ago a friend of mine and I went driving the 1913 Route of the Lincoln Highway from the Ohio State line to LaPorte. It left me wanting to travel the remaining portion through Indiana in Porter and Lake Counties. I had a special reason to make a trip to Lake Michigan last Sunday to tour The House of Tomorrow - a glass house. Year

There's been a lot of hoopla around the 100th anniversary of Route 66. I've talked to friends who have made the trip on this historic highway. What many people don't realize is that 2026 is the 100th anniversary of the entire US Federal Highway System so there are numerous routes all across the country that are celebrating their 100th birthdays as designated federal highways. There are a number of premier highways criss-crossing Indiana as we are "The Crossroads of America."

"Memorial Day" August 17, 2026 Since my college days I have been wandering around Indiana. I was visiting high school schools, delivering seed beans in the summer, selling fertilizer, running trades associations, working on community development projects, or other consulting gigs. In addition, there were romantic getaways, family trips, knocking off towns on our journey to visit everywhere, and more recently trips built around themes. Even though there's a "destination" wande

I have been traveling recently for business but those experiences carry a certain purposeful weight Wandering is different, something more. It's an itch and must be scratched. It doesn't have to be a magical route, a destination with an achievement at the end, or include a breathtaking view or scene. It's as much internal as it is external, maybe even more. In another week, I am planning a trip to southern Indiana with two purposes. The first is to honor Beth's Memorial Day

In the early days of our wandering we carried cassettes and later jeweled cases of CDs. Changing music selections required dexterity while traveling solo. Fortunately, Beth and I wandered together and so she managed the music as well as navigated our atlas while we drove. We had recordings in several genres. I even created a cassette of favorite songs for Beth's 40th Birthday. In our country collection we had Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill,

It's been a while since I've posted on my website. I had a little health scare last summer and that limited my ability to journal and write. It didn't prevent me from wondering the back roads, but I couldn't easily capture my trips. There was a day trip to visit Cannonball Bridge south of Vincennes. I have monthly trips to northeastern Indiana to work with the Engage Noble Leadership Academy and have nearly exhausted every route that I can take to get back back-and-forth to N
