South on CR 25
On Saturday, I just had to get out of the house, so I went for a drive. I didn't really know where I was going, so I simply picked a road and went on it. Turned out to be CR 25, and I was headed south. In less than 10 minutes, I was out in the cornfields. It hit me anew that I live in Indiana. I never thought I would live here and for the most part, I forget. It seems like any other town, especially now that the cicadas have quieted and I'm getting used to the one way streets. I want to see a lot of Indiana. I know driving south for twenty miles isn't exactly getting a good idea of the Crossroads of American, but it was a start. I stopped at this cemetery fenced off in the middle of the fields to get a feel for the people that lived here.
I turned around in a little town called Wyngate. Apparently, they were the state basketball champions in 1913 and 1914. I'm assuming all their good players were killed off in the Great War. Sad, really, what war will do to a town.
