Flyover adventuring

by chuckofish

Yesterday I had a little adventure when I accompanied daughter #1 on a work-related trip to Dugger, Indiana.

Dugger is the location of the Dugger Coal Museum.

We checked out the museum and then selected some items to borrow for an exhibit she is putting together back at headquarters.

You know we love history and appreciate people who care about it. And these guys sure do. Plus, I finally figured out what a dragline* is!

From Dugger we headed over to the Bear Run Mine and picked up a few more artifacts. Then we headed home after stopping at the gas station for some Diet Cokes and snacks. (There is really nowhere to dine thereabouts and it was a seven hour round trip.) It was good to be driving through Flyover Country and, as little Katie says, “I love the fields of Illinois!”

*P.S. What fictional character is nicknamed “Dragline”? Which actor won an Academy Award for playing him?
