Day 8

‹ Monday August 21 ›

Logansport to Rochester – 31.3 miles

High of 87° and a Chance of Thunderstorms this Afternoon

The Road North: As we begin our journey north and away from the banks of the Wabash River, we visit downtown Logansport and the Eel River. We will hike along the River Bluff Trail for a mile and then cut north to Twelve Mile. We will enjoy lunch at Bethlehem United Methodist Church and then walk to Fulton, where we will board bikes to Rochester. We hope to view the solar eclipse this afternoon.

The Journey

Map of trail from Vincennes to Notre Dame

August 13-26, 2017

In the tradition of Father Sorin’s inspirational journey and intrepid spirit—our Notre Dame spirit—we will retrace his journey from Vincennes to Notre Dame. We will travel those miles in a collective renewal of our determination, to rededicate ourselves to Notre Dame’s mission to seek God, study the world, and serve humanity—to boldly lead the way into the new chapters of our story.
