Massa-fornia: Stage 2

We headed west and began the day under the cover of darkness and mountain fog.  Many thanks to Mom & Hollie for waking up with us at 4a and wishing us well.  So here we are; innocent, unaware, and full of confidence.  Onward!


Today’s route took us from Damascus, MD to Indianapolis, IN covering approximately 550 miles along routes 70, 68, 79, and 70 (again).  We passed through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio before arriving in Indiana.  By far, West Virginia is the most pleasant drive.  Speed limits are 65 and 70, the road is interesting to drive, traffic is low, and the tree covered mountains make for fantastic scenery.

Ohio became the least favorite state of the day during our encounter with Officer R. Dudley.  We’re pretty sure Dudley is a Richard.  An alleged 82 in a 65 is the State's assertion.  Damn the heat.


We’re not sure how much this one is going to cost us yet.  I suppose we have the option of just avoiding Ohio for the rest of our days!

Once we arrived in Indy, we made a beeline for Lucas Oil Stadium.  Here I am sticking the landing on a gnarly rail slide.


Afterwards, we got Jacob out to a nice soccer field for some well deserved excercise.  Now it's time to rest.  Tomorrow is the longest day of the Mass-Cali Challenge: Indy to Lincoln, NE.
