Day 9
Rochester to Culver - 16.5 miles
Rainy with a high of 77
Rochester: Greetings to our 5-day pilgrims as we begin our journey across Fulton County and the Tippecanoe River on our way to Lake Maxinkuckee. We’ll pass several farms and creeks. You might even see a few Amish buggies and horse drawn plows in the fields. Watch for wildlife, especially deer, turkeys, and coyotes. We’ll have many pit stops along the way, and then we will enjoy a buffet lunch at Culver Marina on the lake.

As I Begin This Day

The Journey
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.
