Routes 52 and 101/24 in Indiana

I'm going to be making a trip from Macon, Ga to Richmond, In., to go to my sons wedding, at the end of October.

Can anyone tell me what the road is like traveling Rt 52 and 101/24 up through Indiana. I need information as to hills and low bridges along with the road condition. Also, is there diesel fuel available on these two highways?

I am debating on whether to take the state routes or continue up I74 to Dayton, Oh and take I70 across to Richmond, In. Time and distance is not much different between the two but I don't want to travel a bad road if at all possible. I'll be pulling a 35 foot 5th wheel.

Thanks ahead of time for any information on these highways.

    I thank you both for the information on this route. I think I will take the suggestion that john&bet put in about going around on I275 and hitting US-27 there. By the time I get to that point, we'll be pretty tired and the straighter the road, the better. I did hear that I-74 between Dayton and Richmond was a bit rough, so this may be the better way to go.

    Sure will be glad to retire so I don't have to rush things.

    I've traveled 101, 52, and 27 north, south, east and west, between Richmond and I-74. All good state routes suitable for RV travel. 101 between Brookville and Liberty is a popular recreational area. Locating diesel fuel around Brookville and Liberty will not be problematic. The fall foilage and rural road scenery makes for nice travel. No significant hill climbing. I don't recall any overpass issues, semi's use these routes as well. Have a great trip and wecome to Indiana.

    I assume you are talking about US-52, ST.101 and US-27. I have not been on those roads with my 5er, but you should have no problem. An alternate would be to take US-27 off of I-275 on the north east side on Cincy. Diesel will be no problem along those routes.
