He’s done with the second leg of his journey and sounds happy with his progress. The weather today was quite warm. He has truly been bouyed by the outpouring of support and encouragement he’s been receiving.
Most of his trip today was through the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, a spot he’s visited often enough. There is a special significance to the area, in that the original legislation to protect the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore was brought before the U.S. Senate by senator Paul Douglas of Illinois beginning in the 1950s. Paul Douglas was well known to the Hyde Park community in 1950s and as a scout in the Area Bob helped to circulate the petition to save the dunes.
Michigan City made up another portion of the trip and he was struck by the beauty of the area and amazed by the homes along the lakeshore. He ended his day with a gorgeous sunset along the lakeshore.
His cumulative two day total is 49 miles.
