I'll be underway in the morning (sometime) and should arrive in the early afternoon. Anybody know if US 52 is clear from Indy to Laurel? I think that's the way I'm going to go.

it looks clear on Google maps

Last I heard it was still under construction east of Rushville.

Cory what time are you headed out? I am leaving New Palestine on US 52 at 09:00 and meeting up with another SS member just east of there in Morristown then heading on to Haspin.

There is construction in Rushville, but you can get around it via some city streets. 52 is closed right by where the old Chrysler dealership was. You'll probably have to cut down to 44. I'm going to try and make it down to Haspin sometime Friday evening.

I'm picking up a Uhaul car trailer at 8am and I will leave whenever I am done loading and securing my little 4x4 and other not-ready-for-Haspin stuff (and saying goodbye to the kids). It will probably be after you're already on your way.

Last two trips to Haspin I went down I-74 to 244 and then east to 52. Is 52 open south of there? I was hoping to avoid that much interstate travel.

 

[Shrapnel]

Looks like the detour is to take Highway 3 from Rushville down to 244, then back over to 52. So, I'm thinking I may just go the I-74 route (or something).
