Everybody loves somebody.....sometime

Well fellow Corps members the long awaited vacation from the war and the problems of the Corps has begun.

After an overnight stay in Pittsburgh it was on to find Peyton Manning and a long trek across the endless bounds of Ohio and Indiana. My apologies to those who may be from Ohio, but man that is a boring state. We blew all our fun tickets in the first few feet of Ohio by stopping at Steubenville, the "City of Murals".


A few moments with Deano

I saw no murals but there was a lot of grafitti. Steubenville is most well known as being the birthplace of Dean Martin. I stopped by the site recognizing his life there, had a quick drink and bid Deano adieu.

It took until 11:00 pm to get to Terre Haute. I later found out it was only 10:00 as this one small section of Indiana does not observe Daylight Savings Time. Already I am traveling back in time.

Private Pete was pissed as she found out that morning practice was canceled and the afternoon practice was in limbo due to future thunderstorm warnings. Imagine my feelings knowing I had traveled two days and may not see Peyton Manning. mumble, grumble, mumble.

With time off we were off to explore the fantastic sites of Terre Haute. First stop was the Clabber Girl Baking Soda factory (http://www.clabbergirl.com/history.htm) Oh my, my fun meter was pegged!


The Clabber Girl Baking Powder Factory Tour

A quick comeback was made by stopping at the Terre Haute Brewing Company. A small brewery by Legends standards but not a bad Amber Bock.

If there is beer being brewed he will find it!

Check back with us tomorrow and we will finally get to training camp and check out some Civil War stuff around town.
