Indiana Jonesing

[Paul Heim]

Well, CRAP. Bill!  Are you nuckin' futz??? Sheesh!  Now I feel bad that I 
missed the awesome ride in Indiana.  Ah, well, Miss Kathy and I went 
exploring Southeast Ohio after I did the toxic waste drop-off on Saturday 
morning.  What kind of burg only lets you drop your toxic waste and empty 
propane cylinders one day each year???  We had a fun day, met some new 
friends, and learned how close we are, again, to some really nice state 
highways.  We were supposed to check out Rt. 555 but I guess I'll get to 
that this weekend or next.  We live about 30 miles from it, so I'm pretty 
excited.

Glad you made it home safely, and even more pleased that the ride was so 
good.
Paul in Ohio
