DAY 45 had me surprised by a restful night. The rain brought the temperature and humidity down and I was able to keep cool enough to not be bothered the way I thought. We got up, took care of odds and ends and then headed the 15 minutes to our first attraction of the day, MY Garage Museum and Store.

This was a great little free stop to start our day. I meandered through the museum looking at vintage corvettes and some of the swag of the day. Oddly it also featured Volkswagens as well. There was a Herbie replica even. After a while, we headed on our way.

In order to make to it Sweetwater Sound before Jeff (my direct line for all things audio) left for the day, we skipped the Indiana State House. We cut it very close because I forgot about the time change back into Easter Standard Time. Jeff stayed an extra hour showing us around the place. It is an incredible space and I highly recommend anyone going through or near Fort Wayne Indiana make it a point to spend an hour or so there. I even had enough space in my brain to learn a few more things!

Since it was still light out, we chose to hit the road and find a spot to sleep, although we could have car-camped at Sweetwater. It took a little longer to find as one rest stop we passed seemed permanently closed and there was a detour to contend with further down the road. We made it there and settle in for the night, hoping we wouldn’t get asked to leave 3 hours later, as the sign suggested.
