Southern Indiana Curves
#1



I did the IN 66 and 62 of this route twice this week.

It's the best southern Indiana has to offer that I know of.

The Overlook restaurant is a perfect stop for this route. It has about an hour of curves on either side of it.

Came off my low carb diet and had the sampler...fried pickles, mushrooms, onion straws and cheese, bacon fries (only ate one ;-), the 3 sauces were the best part!

Not a back view in the house!

I dodged turkeys, deer (one baby couldn't have been over 18 inches tall), squirrels, turtles, raccoon, buzzards, gravel, sand....but the one that got my attention and left me loose for a split second (I never feel my tires slip unless it's my back tire under heavy engine braking or panic stops) was this one:

Looks harmless enough...I watch the road very carefully and didn't even see it.

I turned around to see what got me loose:

This curve has an intersecting drive way to a farm....this must be oil, grease, kerosene....there was another spot on the driveway leading out onto the road. Doesn't look like much, but considering how little lubricant it takes to make things slick...got my attention...I was glad I wasn't maxing out my curves or the slide may not have stopped....keep your eyes peeled!
