Title: Brown County Indiana, May 2011
Post by: Bob T on May 28, 2011, 11:05:40 AM
Last weekend, my wife and me, along some of our riding friends went down to Brown County Indiana...
One day down, two there and a day back for 1056 miles...
We stayed at the Story Inn, in Story Indiana (http://www.storyinn.com/)...not cheap, but the ladies liked it...so good times!
Some pics....

BobT, Mystic, and anyone else familiar with the Southern Indiana area: any recommendations as for cool spots down there, be them food, camping, or good roads? I'm head out there on Thursday for a extended weekend...

Thanks.

The whole Brown County area is pretty good...I don't know specific roads or lunch stops as I've only been there twice, and both times I traveled with someone who knew the area...
I just followed and had fun.  I do know that the longest or one of the longest covered bridges in the Midwest is there somewhere...
Somewhere I have some maps the organizer of the ride put out.  If I find them, I'll post them up.
