Reposting for anyone from the weekday crowd who might be interested. So far I have one friend locally who may have his van fixed in time to join me.

See the above article for discussion of vehicular requirements, but really it’s just this: a little clearance and decent tires. We shouldn’t need four-wheel drive for this trip, barring an extremely unlikely snowstorm which would be dramatically earlier than usual for Indiana (but, given how unusual the weather has been this year, and obviously how crazy 2020 is in general...who knows).
No off-road trails, not even any decent water crossings (I don’t expect, anyway), just seeing some back roads and probably early fall foliage.
As enticement, I’m including photos I’ve taken on previous visits to this area. No guarantees of anything particularly special, just going out and seeing what we can find.

Yeah, I think you have enough scenery for several lifetimes.

I was last in Paoli in high school. Should be beautiful there this time of year. Obviously can’t join you, but enjoy!

In case you missed it, more Paoli pics from recently.
It’s a shame it’s such a long drive for me, would like to spend more time there.

Fellow Hoosier here. There are some very pretty backroads in that area. I once wandered around the area near French Lick and it seemed almost mountainous with the hills and valleys. Also, love the yellow - that’s a great color on the Jeep!

Yeah, I wanted a yellow manual LJ, and was shocked I was able to find one locally . I expected to have to settle for a far more bland color.
Of course, it’s been a money pit, but better a yellow money pit than a silver one.
Feel free to join in on one of my wanderings. There’s a list of tentative plans in the original post, https://oppositelock.kinja.com/southern-indiana-meetup-a-modest-proposal-1844736167?rev=1600705803090

It’ll all be actual roads...but of course just because it’s an “actual” road doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy...
