A 600 mile drive - just east of Indianapolis - Day 66

Today we drove a bit too far. But, we were on quite a bit of new road, which we always like. Instead of taking Route 70 to Indianapolis, we decided to go Route 72. Why? Well, for one, it is a route we've never taken. Two, Rob suggested that we stop at a rather rare old round barn which he said had been made into a restaurant that he had visited when he was a child in Champaign, Illinois. The route was great - but quite empty of places to stop. As an upshot, Mark drove for over 300 miles before stopping. We pulled off in Champaign and asked for directions to the Round Barn. Well...we found it. But....it had become a Famous Dave's Barbecue place. We have tried so hard not to eat at chains, but...we had come over 400 miles and were tired and hungry. So, we decided to eat there. The barn really was quite amazing. And, the waitress told us that it had been a steakhouse until about 10 years ago.

We kept on driving, lost an hour because we crossed the last time zone of this trip. We pulled in to a Comfort Inn just east of Indianapolis. Tired!
