roadmaven Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I had little to do on this cold, post snowy Sunday. Well, check that, I had plenty to do here in the house, but there wasn't any of it I actually "wanted" to do. I had a geocache to replace out in North Salem, so I decided to get that done today and do a "coast to coast" trip on the entire length...all 41 miles...of Indiana State Road 236. It was a chilly day, as it was in the upper teens/low 20's all day after a 2" snowfall Saturday throughout most of the state. Mobilene thinks that it doesn't get any more obscure than IN-42. Well, I think I trumped him on 236! Details of this journey can be found here, and the rest of the photo shoot can be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you don't have to travel across a bunch of states (no slam intended Denny - love your "multi-state" reports as well ) to produce an interesting road report. I've done a couple of those here out of Memphis and one of these days I've got to post them on my web site.

mobilene Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 There's always that one state highway that basically takes you to the girl's school on the Westside... it doesn't even leave Marion County! Now that's obscure! Seriously, great report. I totally dig the shot of the Marshall arch. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Pat, Lots of good stuff there....the Twin Towers, Salem, the arch with the carriage...great two lane experience...and the fresh white snow was a nice touch\! Keep the Show on the Road! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 At twenty-something degrees forty-one is plenty of miles. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmaven Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks for the replies, gents! I figure if it's a looooong winter like it was last winter, I'll be doing a lot more of these to keep my sanity. There are plenty of roads in this state that have a story to tell, so I'll do what I can.....along with Jim.....to get these dudes up on search engines. Jim -- State Road 134!!! Wow, that thing's practically in my own backyard and I forgot all about it! Of course when the road's not longer than 1/2 mile, it's bound to be forgotten. Delorme shows it going from US 136 all the way down to US 40. Not sure if that's how far it went, but I know today it doesn't even reach 21st Street.

Chris Rowland Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Jim -- State Road 134!!! Wow, that thing's practically in my own backyard and I forgot all about it! Of course when the road's not longer than 1/2 mile, it's bound to be forgotten. I guess I'm a little late. I was actually planning to out-obscure you both by doing State Road 134, but here you go and raise it out of obscurity before I could. Oh well, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
