Another one! See, if we keep going like this we'll rule the world from
Indiana. Flatland hikers untie!

Outfitters: 

1) Galyans in Indianapolis. Pretty good store, very customer-oriented
employees. Nice new large store in the Castleton area of Indy.

Trail Suggestions: 

1) Knobstone Trail -- 57 miles, well-blazed, hilly, southeastern
Indiana, camp anywhere along the trail, plenty of trailheads but the
trail is a linear trail rather than a loop. Water availability
(streams) a problem from July through October. Here's the URL to the
maps and to the description:

2) Two Lakes Loop Trail -- about 18 miles long, goes around Celina
Lake and Indian Lake, 16 miles north of Tell City, Indiana in south
central Indiana, a small part of the American Discovery Trail that
goes across the country, camping along the trail or at campground at
one of the lakes. Here's a URL to some info on it:
