On the road
Watch the first episode
This is where it starts. Nate breaks down the mission, the miles, and the reason we are making the truck the easiest thing to recognize on Indiana roads.
Not a list of attractions: the diner that has been open since before the highway moved, the shop three generations deep, the park nobody outside the county knows about.
The point
Build a living map of Indiana through the people who actually make each town worth stopping for.

The partnership
The truck that's taking us there
Rohrman Toyota gave us the Tundra for the year. The truck is the marker: if you see it, Get Indiana is probably filming a town, a restaurant, or someone with a story worth hearing.

Your turn
Think we should come to your town?
Make the case. Nate reads these, and a good tip is how a lot of these stops get picked.
Tell us the town and the one thing an outsider would never find on their own. The best submissions name a place and a person, not a landmark.
Every town we break down starts here, and the write-ups run on the site before they go anywhere else.
