Our home base is in western Ohio and we are only 20 miles from the Indiana state line. We have explored some wonderful places in the state of Indiana over the years and I wanted to quickly share the beautiful area of Bloomington with you.

Bloomington is a large city located a little southwest of Indianapolis. It is about a three-hour drive from our hometown. It is home to approximately 85,000 people.

A few years ago, our nephew lived in Bloomington and he graciously allowed us to stay with him while we hiked and explored the area.

This was before I broke my legs and before we moved into the RV. We did a lot of hiking and exploring in those days.

The B-Line Trail is a 3.1-mile long asphalt, multi-use trail in the heart of the city that extends from Adams Street on the north side to Country Club Drive on the south side.
