Day 1: Indy, IN to Athens, OH
May 28, 2024
323 Miles
Leaving Greenwood, IN, I still felt very heavy from the dramatic humidity changes from the American Southwest. My primary objectives for the day were to complete Team Strange 2024 checkpoints, visit the home of my grandparents & childhood, and make my way east towards our initial Appalachia Tour 2024 rendezvous.
The highlight of the day was visiting a childhood favorite in Farmland, IN, where my grandparents spent their adult lives. Traveling through Indiana and Ohio country was nice, but a reminder of why I moved out west. I was eager to make my way to the mountains.
