I grew up in southern Indiana. I accompanied my father in walking the woods while he foraged. He also was an enthusiastic rock hound and had a beautiful collection. I still have some of his Indian arrowheads. We fished in the Ohio and Wabash rivers. As a family we took Sunday drives around the state. Your videos have reminded me of my childhood and now I wish my father was alive to watch them with me. Thank you for sharing the rich history of Indiana.

It truly is amazing how much history is in Indiana.

Indiana is definitely full of adventures. Glad to be a Hoosier!

Roger is a world class road tripper

Fellow Hoosier here. I love Indiana. I trust Purdue when they say Mulberry.

Very interesting video, I now have a new addition to my bucket list. Thanks

Once again Roger has taken us on an adventure through a part of the U.S. that most believe to be nothing but flat, boring cornfields. Southern Indiana is anything but that! Thanks Roger, for highlighting some of my favorite places and introducing me to some I’ve never known. Happy road tripping to all!

Thanks again Roger, the way you put these docs, stories, everything together is top notch. You would be big time $ in Hollywood or wherever you went compiling, narrating, but who wants to be there right?! Keep doing what you do. Thanks again👍

Indiana does have some history, my 5th great grandfather donated Fox Island state park to Indiana, my family has been here awhile lol Definitely enjoy ur videos !

As always, a great trip through Indiana that gives me inspiration to get out and explore my home state. Excellent work! Thank you!

Hey Rodger, thought you might get a kick out of this. Me and my beautiful girlfriend went to gods country that we seen on this video over the weekend and we ran into a sweet older couple and we started talking about the place and they said that they saw it on you tube. So asked if it was adventures with Rodger and sire enough it was. They where from Evansville and we are from kokomo. Ever up this way this town has alot of history. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to many more.

Thanks for the most excellent content Roger! Having 44 years in Crawford County, your videos really grab my attention and I just hang on for the ride.

We saw you visited our place in Bristow, Indiana. Thanks for the beautiful words. All are welcome to visit and enjoy God's wonderment in nature. Come again.

Some friends and I gravel bicycle ride in a lot of these areas and have discovered a lot of these places on these rides. Some really amazing stuff. You just gotta get out there.

Take me with you sometime Roger I love exploring and you know the best places!

I was in 3rd grade when we started the Washington Crossing the Delaware campaign Monument. I am so proud to be apart of it to this day.

I really enjoy this channel. I used to be big into driving the back roads for hours on end. When people would ask why, I'd say "Just to see what I see". With the "explorer" in me, and the fact that I love anything to do with space travel, You'd think I would have known that Gus Grissom was from less than 2 hours away from where I grew up and still live to this day. I do happen to know where a "cave" is in my own town of Tell City. It's not really a cave, but we had heard it was when we were kids and went looking for it. In case anyone is wondering, it is on the hillside across from the shipyard on river road. Getting to it is easy. Getting in it is hard, but you can see the entire thing from the outside because it only goes back about 15 or 20 feet.

Thank you for the roads less traveled!

Just a great story teller. Adventure!

Love this Roger! So many interesting places to see in Indiana!

My Mom was born in a dirt floor log cabin in in 1925 atop the bluff that Potts sits in. My Uncle and her played every day in the bluffs, he found a tomahawk and many other relics back then. The logs from that cabin were used to rebuild outbuildings at Lincoln’s Boyhood Home. Love your videos I was sent here every summer as a boy to keep me out of trouble in Los Angeles were I grew up.

Hemlock cliffs near English Indiana is a cool hiking trip.👍☮️

I love how you share your treasures that many of us didn't even know about. Summertime we're going on some biking trips to see some of these.

I like the sound of your voice and the way you narrate is incredibly soothing for some reason..

Thanks for another road trip video. It's always good to file these away for when my family plan another adventure.

Love this video. You said it about the memories and treasures at the end of the road. So true, Roger. Thanks for sharing. Have you thought of writing a book? 😊

Thank you for bringing back some great memories. All but one of the family members I traveled with when I was young are no longer with me. I’ve visited a number of these sites in this video with my family, especially, the George Rogers Clark Memorial. I attended Vincennes University in the very early 80’s. Lots of great memories!! Thanks, again. Sad how alone these memories cause me to feel now, especially tonight being New Year’s Eve. I believe I’ve watched every one of your videos; great stuff. Have a wonderful New Year.

Great video Roger 👍🏼 Thank you for taking us along

We used to do this when I was a kid...I grew up in southwestern Ohio, quite near the Indiana line. We spent many a Saturday or Sunday on a drive through Indiana, Kentucky, of course, Ohio, visiting places like this. The end of the day was always at some superb country restaurant!

I love your videos Roger. I'm born and raised in Cincinnati but I now live in South East KY. Anyway thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us, you do a great job with everything. Stay safe and blessed

Wow, nicely done road-trip video!...and I've viewed a LOT of 'em.

In third grade we raised dimes in my front yard to pay for the monument. Washington Crossing the Delaware. I was there. The best time of my life.

Brilliant share, this is a roadtrip im sure anyone would sure enjoy.Although I have almost no hope of visiting Indiana, it`s just a pleasure to watch all these attractions. I love how you explain things in an easy-to-understand way without filling spaces with fluff.the tibetan area is brilliant. Already looking forward to future videos and to enjoy your adventures thru your lenses.

Another great one Roger! You're on a roll!

Thanks again Roger for a wonderful video. Keep up the good work!

Lived in Indiana most of my life and had no idea many of these were here. Awesome video.

Thanks so much.

I live in this area. Went to High School in Versailles. I shop in Greensburg. Cool video!!

Again, another great video. Always makes me want to get up and go! So many places, so little time. You said once in a comment that the 30 free roadside attractions could be done in one long summer day. Adding these means I'll have to plan a whole vacation in the Southern Indiana area. Good thing my nephew is great at finding motel deals! Thank you for such beautiful camera work.

Thank you again.

South Eastern Indiana,in Brown county, is my Mother's country of origin... I'm sure that someone who is presently living in the area is related to me on my Mother's family..... Back in the early 60's, I was privileged to visit with my Great Aunt in the old Frazier Family,Aunt Bunny,(Blanche)... That's without any argument, the best summer I had,as a kid... Sixty years later, it's motels , strip malls,gas stations 😢💔... That's now.... Broke my heart...All the creeks full of wildlife and fish are gone....💔

Its only a matter of preference on your mode of travel BUT.... To get a really intense, personal, up close experience... do these trips on a motorcycle!! Everything about the people and what wasnt mentioned about the roads, leads to motorcycle specific fun!! As usual, great video!! Thanks again Man!! Much appreaciated!!

I grew up in Southern Indiana and I would like to add some places you didn't mention like "Story ,Indiana" the historic town time forgot settled in 1800's. It's in Brown County near Nashville on the edge Of Brown County SF. It's on my "to go" list. Supposedly the horses outnumber the residents and there is a hotel and an excellent restaurant (I hear). I'm surprised you didn't mention HOLIDAY WORLD near Santa Claus and Lincoln Park. It's one of the best water parks in the country. I remember the original Santa Claus land (you touched on). To not be outdone by 6 Flags etc the family progressed to Holiday World. Prepare to get wet. Also Squire Boone Caverns...

Very exciting. Thank you

My wife and I love riding our motorcycle in southern Indiana.

Thanks Roger ! Always great stuff ! 👍

That was great Roger, very interesting and informative. Gives me ideas for a road trip!

Once again Roger, what a great excursion through and to some neat and interesting Southern Indiana places. When I move back to Cincinnati in the spring, get settked and revisit all of my past favorite haunts in SW Ohio and Northern Kentucky, im going to plan some extensive trips into Southern Indiana that you have featured in your Indiana travel vlogs. I really love all of these in this one, especially the grotto and the Abbey and Monestary. I've not done it since before covid, but for over a decade I used to do an annual three or four day retreat at the Abbey Gethsemani down outside of Bardstown, KY. I did visit the Buddhist site when the Dalai Lamma came for an event. That was something else again. It was not a solemn event, it was very fun and very racous. You are right about just getting out to do something you think about doing, Don't put it off. I really found out how true ttat is when I got ny cancer diagnosis earier this year. I almost didnt make it, but now I am almost 100% free of the cancers. I have Lymphoma and I was Stage III with pockets of Lymph nodes through much of my body that had gone cancerous. I used to hike all the time but not nuch in the past few years. I hope I get ny strength back so I can get back to doing that again. I also hope that when I do get back and take my trips into Indiana, we can meet at one of those mom and pop ice cream shops/food joints that you featured in that past video and I'll buy you kunch and we can chat about your travels through your home state. As always, I look forward to seeing your new videos of your travels. They have given me a really nice feeling while I've been going through dealing with my cancer and chemo. Thats rough stuff. I think that the efrects of the chemo have been harder than what the cancer dishes out. Safe travels, Roger. May God Bless you more than He already has.

As usual excellent and never disappoints ☺️💕

Awesome video and extraordinary narration!

Always loved road trip movies, as well as road trip documentarie! I was impressed with that large wooden bridge but also the fact that it only seemed to have one pier? You have to wonder what's supporting it but I'm sure it's well supported. I also like that big monastery with the monks. Magnificent building! But being monks you have to wonder if they make beer monks do make the best beer. Thank you for another enjoyable adventure!

Another great video, Roger.

A Short Drive West of Lafayette and South of Attica Indiana. Is a BREATH TAKING Park with Hiking trails known as PORTLAND ARCH. Natural Sandstone Arch which being 6'2 I can easily walk under. This was created by one of the many Natural Springs in the area. The trail compromises approximately 1 mile with many areas of wooden bridges to stop and BECOME ONE WITH NATURE! Having been to this location just 1/2 Mile up the road is #2 trail just as Beautiful and relaxing in a Warm summer's day.

Thank you, Roger, for another fine tour. Gosh, do you think when you run out of places to visit in Indiana, you would come do my state of Michigan?

Beautiful places! I missed part 1. Have to find it. That tree growing out of the courthouse was unbelievable! If it is a mulberry it might die now. My mulberry tree's are dieing. I think from what they are spraying from the planes., because nothing kills a mulberry tree. Thank you

Love and truly enjoyed the video. You may want to add jug rock near Shoals or Hindstain Falls. Not well known but great and no cost to see.

Tomorrow is the time to go visit some water falls with the rain we have coming in tonight cool temps and deer in early rut to see some wildlife.

Another terrific road trip! Maybe I need to move?

3:17 You caught a shapeshifter pretending to be a tree/stump. Very creepy looking. Makes me want to drive there and verify it's still there and it's just a tree. Thanks for taking us on these trips!!

👍

This may be a long shot, but figured someone in the chat or yourself may have been here.. When I was in 5th or 6th grade, I went with a friend from school and his parents to a place his mom(i think) grew up going somewhere in southeast Indiana(i'm from SW OH). It was a very popular "swimming hole" in a large creek/small river, where glaciers had carved grooves almost natural water slides in the creekbed. I still think about sitting in those grooves and letting the water push me, and have searched on/off for years hoping to figure out where it was to go back.

I'm a Hoosier. Born in Evansville. Now in Texas. I'm a Hoosier.

Evansville, ever heard of it ?

I'm sure you might have but have you read the Hoosier folk Legends books by Ronald L Baker I remember reading it back when I was in elementary school and I ended up buying it about seven or eight years ago it's obviously about the whole state of Indiana but there are a few stories in there concerning Southern Indiana and there is also a book called Haunted Hoosier trails by Wanda Lou Willis I've not got to read a whole lot of it but she goes from County to County telling a story or two that's most famous for that county that has to do with the Paranormal

Been to many of these places. Great video Roger. Roger monte casino is in St. Meinrad not Ferdinand.

Do you have a list or map with all the places you went in this video? I would love to plug it into google maps and figure out what we could see on a day trip from Indianapolis. 😊

Hi Roger. Is St Joseph Holy Family open to the public for hiking? What a beautiful place.

Come on Paul. Put your back into it

😅 Bedford, Mitchell, Oolitic. The Limestone Capital of the World. 😅 I'm a genius from there , you should talk to me.

Mitchell is NOT southwest of Williams. Picky.

Would you do a video on Mauxferry Road, Indiana first state road?

A tank of gas can be expensive

Madoc is suspect..he had hoarses

Ha...yeah. They always say glaciers made these ancient mega structures. Crazy thing is, they can't even prove ice ages existed either. The Smithsonian is covering up our actual history. Everything we think we know about our past is a lie. Most state parks are on the sites of ancient mega structures. They turn them into parks so you can't go digging. Cool video.

Why do they have to ruin the landscape with religious dogma???
