This picture is from the 2007 Indiana Cool Roads trip. The picture is of the big dome at the West Baden Springs Hotel around which Pat and Jennifer Bremer organized the trip. The small caravan got there on cool roads like IN-58 and IN-450 then toured the recently restored 1902 “Eighth Wonder of the World”. We spent the night nearby then part of the group drove to and toured Santa Claus, Indiana, the next day. The small group became smaller and in the end, I led a one-car caravan on to Owensboro, Kentucky, before heading home.

Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting. In addition to a photo thumbnail from a completed road trip, each Peek includes a brief description of that photo plus links to the full-sized photo and the associated trip journal.
