Shell and Thompson Trek North Through Indiana to Illinois
Shell and Thompson continue their Pacific Coast journey and travel through Indiana heading toward Illinois. They ride with a cafe worker who shares lunch, pass Auburn and Fort Worth Indiana, glimpse Indianapolis surroundings, reach Angola at nine, meet a kind Angola resident offering shelter, then ride a Chicago bound trucker to about 175 miles away. En route they see Elkhart, the Syedy drum factory, and Notre Dame at South Bend, while the trucker jokes about their Southern accents and nicknames Shell Dopey Tan.
