On the Road - Indianapolis

Here's Uncle Bill's truck. We're driving a Chevy and loving it. Never saw myself as a truck person. But for the road, it's very comfortable and can carry all our camping gear. We'll be camping out most nights that we're not staying with friends or at conferences.


We hit the road on Friday, the 18th, drove to Memphis where we stayed with friends, made some new ones, and grew closer to some old ones. Then on to Mammoth Cave National Park next to Bowling Green, Kentucky for some underground hiking. On Monday we drove to Indy for our CMF furlough retreat. Here we've been delving into the subject of suffering -- a solid Christian theme -- and, again, making some new friends and growing closer to some old ones.

Oh, and the truck's in the shop for a transmission check up. We had some hiccups just as we pulled into city limits and off the freeway. Coincidence that we made it here for a 5-day retreat before we had trouble?
