It's funny to me that in portraying Indiana as a "blank state" he's highlighting one of the most beautiful parts of the state (the route through the Dunes along the Michigan lakefront; if you've seen "Road To Perdition", you know what that area looks like). It's not important to the article, a complete tangent, but I can't not call that out.

Unfortunately the dunes and lake are not visible from that stretch of I-94.

Southern Indiana is another beautiful part of the state. It's mostly rolling hills with lush green forests and farms.

You don't have to drive it on I-94; in fact, for many years it was faster not to, because of insane bottom of the lake traffic. You can take the Dunes Highway instead (and then keep off 94 up the Michigan shore; there's good stuff up there).

I need to do that next time I’m driving between Chicago and Michigan. I haven’t seen the dunes there yet and I bet it’s incredible.

Check out sleeping bear dunes park in Michigan especially if you can get out to the islands. Also Three Oaks Michigan is also a nice spot to stay and explore for a day or two. Journeyman distillery and a few nice restaurants are located there.
