Day 9: LaGrange to the outskirts of Angola- total miles traveled 143

We made it...to day nine that is.  We had a comfy and cozy stay at Carney's Inn last night.  This little B & B is right off Rt 9 in downtown LaGrange.  We have a wonderful host Estelle, whom Milligan has really enjoyed chatting up.  She woke up early to make us breakfast complete with fresh squeezed OJ and farm fresh eggs from down the road.  We enjoyed great food and interesting breakfast conversation.  We got the sense that Estelle has seen a lot in her life as much of her conversation centered around the history of local places in LaGrange.

Estelle also runs a local flower and antique shop. She's a busy lady.

We bid our host goodbye and left to set our vehicles up in position. Milligan even got a little hug out of our host even though she wasn't a hugger.  Upon leaving we had contact with a local ABC station that wanted to follow us today.  This contact continued until we met up with them at the final part of our run.

Today's weather was not as pleasant as yesterdays.  We were grateful for the warm temps, however the dampness in the air was wearing on us mentally.  We passed some beautiful lakes that Milligan wished he had brought a fishing pole to do a little fishing in.  The road was one of the busier roads we had run on, however we had a nice wide burm to run along.  This still didn't stop the gusts of chilly damp wind from the semi's and larger trucks.  Milligan did a little jump and shiver with each passing vehicle. No major injuries to report and I only just sprouted a bruised toe nail (subungual hemotma) recently. Nothing out of the ordinary other than big appetites and tired legs.

We just got interviewed for the news!  Keaney did a great job talking! 

We are thrilled to be nearly done with our goal and Milligan stated-onto the next bucket list item! We are headed out soon for a big pasta dinner.  Our last night on the road is hosted at Hampton Inn buy our wonderfully supportive Superintendent Dr. Pruis.  We are grateful for our community support both near and far.  So if your not doing much we will be finishing tomorrow on US 20 around 1p EST.
