1just4don Posted May 27, 2007 Report Posted May 27, 2007 I have been invited to a canoeing/camping trip this July 8-14th in Metamora Indianna. So logical road would be from say Omaha, east down I-80 to I-74 that angles southeast to Metamora Indianna. Be willing to meet up before or after to and fro ,,,someplace along the road for a 'rest' stop and a piece of cafe pie and iced tea. probably traveling alone. Also maybe be open to a more 'scenic' route back home!! hate to take the same road BOTH ways!! maybe take I 70 back thru Missouri and I-29 back north,,,or are there more scenic two laners?? I like the scenery of the 2 laners, but like the time aspect of the 4 lanes. Trying to decide whether to go or just stay home,,,would be 'cheaper',,,but would miss the friends I would meet there!!! Anybody close to proposed route?? Quote
vanbuskirk Posted May 27, 2007 Report Posted May 27, 2007 I live about .5 mile form US 52 on the east side of Indianapolis. US 52 goes to Metamora - 60 miles east oh here. Maybe a stop off here. Have 2 Plymouths. Bob Quote
Don Coatney Posted May 27, 2007 Report Posted May 27, 2007 Indiana amazes me. I was born in Columbus, Indiana and I have hever heard of Metamora. I googled it and was amazed once again. There are so many interesting towns in that state that I could spend all of my vacations there. Don, do stop and visit Bob and Wanda VanBuskirk. I have done so a couple of times and guarantee you will not be disappointed. Quote
eric wissing Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 Don , As you head East or on your return West you could take 30 or 20 across Iowa. Much of it is 4 lane and it is much more scenic than I-80. You can follow The Missisippi south on the Iowa side. I am in Sioux City and if you take 20 I'll be on your route. PM me if you want a ph. #. Eric Quote
