  Homesick
  Knox County IN (1)

  Today's entry in "Up in Alaska: Jill's subarctic journal" is titled "Homesick." Jill started to clean out her digital photo collection and got to looking at some old ones from Utah, which made her homesick for something other than Juneau, Alaska. It doesn't help that her friend, Geoff, is off doing some bicycle competitions in Utah. She says, "Sometimes I feel torn between Alaska and Utah, unsure which one is really my home." I think I understand, somewhat. For me it's not a matter of Utah vs Alaska, although I suppose it could be. ...

  Fire hydrant and coffee in Terre Haute
  2007, Knox County IN, Vigo County IN (0)

  A fire hydrant like this should be reason enough to stop for a photo. I got to thinking of it when the question came up of when I was last in a Starbucks. It's from my ride north-to-south through Terre Haute last October. I wonder if I should have just ridden through on US-41. I spent a lot of time trying to follow side streets that didn't take me far before they'd go no further, and then I'd have to find another north-south one. This bike lane goes past Indiana State University. There wasn't much ...

  Beginning and end
  Knox County IN, St. Joseph County MI (0)

  This cornfield is from the first day of my first multi-day bicycle outing of 2007. Some people say all cornfields are alike. At this time of year, I think they all have unique personalities, mostly because you can still see the terrain underneath. Later, when they're middle-aged, they aren't so interesting. This one is on Indian Prairie, south of White Pigeon in St. Joseph County, Michigan. Incidentally, at this time of year it's easy to tell the Amish cornfields from the others by looking down the rows. The rows ...

  Baptist mission controversies
  Berrien County MI, Knox County IN, Parke County IN (1)

  This is a view along the last leg of the path from the paved road to the Maria Creek Baptist Church cemetery. (The road is one between Oaktown and Freelandville, Indiana.) The gravesite of Charles Polke is near the trees, left of center in the photo, where it would be hard to see at any distance if not for four steel fence posts set in the ground at the four corners. They are not visible in the photo, but can be seen as one gets closer. Isaac McCoy was pastor here for eight years before going away to ...

  Disappointment
  Knox County IN, Parke County IN (2)

  This is a view on the way back from the walk to the Maria (aka Mariah) Creek Baptist cemetery yesterday. I had expected country that was more full of woods and ravines. Maybe if I had known it would be like this, I would have pushed harder to be able to ride here.  That's the kind of country I like. Today wasn't so good. I had a small ride planned, but also wanted to take some photos in Rockville. We first went to get a breakfast, and that's where I discovered I didn't ...
