Nice excursion in southern IN.

[winchester4440]

For me, its the ex Southern Railroad line across Indiana (Now Norfolk Southern)... runs along the general area of IN route 64

Yeah, Princeton, Oakland City (Gibson and Pike counties) area. I’m still waiting for the Sugar Ridge DNR rifle range to complete their handgun range, which they’ve been working on for a couple months I think.

Wait, I thought once you got south of 70 the accents changed and you had to say things like “warsh ma’ knickers”

Yeah culturally I-70 is the Mason Dixon line. Anyone from north of that highway is definetly a Yankee.

**I suspect walking 3 miles and being 2+ hours late for lunch had a bit to do with how good it tasted.

Yes to that. Yoho is fine, but nothing special. It's more enjoyable for the nostalgia / history than for the food being anything exceptional. But it's a cool place to visit.


And Solsberry is certainly "Southern Indiana". It's in the bottom 3rd of the state. I live a few min away, and that's certainly how I describe my location to anyone from other states...

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing?

50/50 on that one.

Huge Thank You to OP, I was not aware of this town, we'll be hiking there soon....Sound like some neat, easy hikes. Not to far at all from Evansville.

So the sign outside mooresville says that is where southern Indiana begins, looks like you Kentuckians are wrong!

No, mooresville is Canada. Southern Canada, maybe, but definitely not southern Indiana. Hell, they probably got snow up there today.

Id welcome snow today. No rain here in 2 weeks.

Your next door neighbor doesn’t happen to be really busy just after thanksgiving does he? Lounging around the rest of the year, swatting the misses on the behind…

Lots of "little people" running around, busy making toys...

Dialect may change a little with each east-west rail line you cross. No opinions about the north-south lines like ex-C&EI (CSX) or Monon (abandoned).

You have your choice (among others) of:

ex-SOU (NS) through Princeton (Louisville-St. Louis)
ex-B&O (CSX) through Vincennes, Washington, Mitchell, and Seymour (Cincinnati-St. Louis)
ex-PRR Richmond-Indianapolis-Brazil-Terre Haute (abandoned "Panhandle" route Pittsburgh-St. Louis/Chicago)
ex-NYC (CSX) Union City-Indianapolis-Avon-Terre Haute (switches to ex-PRR Vandalia RR to cross Illinois west of TH)
ex-Erie Decatur-Chicago (abandoned)
ex-Wabash (NS) Detroit-Fort Wayne-Lafayette-St. Louis-Kansas City
ex-Nickel Plate (NS) Fort Wayne-Chicago
ex-PRR (CFE) Fort Wayne-Chicago
ex-NYC (NS) South Bend-Chicago
ex-GT (CN) Grainger-Chicago
ex-C&O (CSX)
ex-NYC (NS) Michigan City-Porter

It doesn’t have chains on the tires, so…it could possibly be.
