Off the Beaten Path
What is more fun than planning a road trip off the beaten path? A chance to revisit some of those unfrequented spots and add a few new ones as well. A trip through southern Indiana is in the works and there’s one place I must stop at again. The Bean Blossom Bridge is a one-lane…
