Day-Trippin To Indiana and Hurricane Mills, TN

Monday, October 15th, I left Paducah solo at 7:15 am and headed northeast, 189 miles, to Vincennes, IN to visit George Rodgers Clark National Historic Park. The park is dedicated to the hearty pioneer explorers whose leadership and courage led the way to settlement of this country. Special attention is devoted to the French, who originally settled Vincennes, and their contribution to exploration of this country.Leaving Vincennes, I rode east to Lincoln City, IN to visit Lincoln's Boyhood National Memorial. This park is located in a beautiful woodland setting.Nancy Hanks Lincoln, Abraham's mother, is believed to be buried at the top of this knoll.

After visiting these two National Parks and watching the videos, I turned south and rode through Rockport, IN, Ownesboro, KY, Bowling Green, KY and on to visit my grandson in Murfreesboro, TN. I rode 680 miles on this two-day trip.
