NORTH VERNON IN
Apr. 8 2024
PART 2
The eclipse continues to darken the sky in North Vernon. This is northwest on IN 3/7. The road off to the right does not appear to be IN 3, despite what Google Maps says.
North on what Google labels as IN 3.
East on US 50, as the eclipse emits its last gasp.
US 50 at 175 N.
US 50 parallels a rail line.
US 50 in Butlerville.
On US 50 at IN 129 near Elrod, a crash caused this backup. You can see a car flipped over at right.
A smashed car and the accompanying debris.
Another traffic jam on US 50 at Broadway in Aurora. The business at right has a globe on top, even though it seems to have nothing to do with globes.
The Carroll Lee Cropper Bridge on I-275 whisks us back to Kentucky!
Just before the state line is this flooded floodplain.
The I-71 shield on the BGS is completely faded. I-275 goes under Point Pleasant Road here. I think it was either Point Pleasant or Mineola where I once had to forge a bike tire groove in fresh asphalt because there were no other roads.
