I have been in Indiana many times in the past, including last year and the year before. This time it was to visit the last of the universities in the state to photograph their campus signs. The remaining signs were in the northwestern part of the state. I also had the opportunity to visit a national park in that area: Indiana Sand Dunes National Lakeshore.

Except for family history research in Fort Wayne (best genealogical library in the country) and nearby Logansport (the Wilsons lived there and great great grandfather Wilson owned some property there where his eldest son lived), unknown if there are any other reasons to return to this state.
