Legends of the Fall…
Today was another “tour the countryside day”.
We headed north at the crack of Noon up to Edwardsburg, MI for our first stop. We’re only about a mile and a half from the Michigan border here in Elkhart. In fact, because of this, the area is called ‘Michiana’
Our first stop was a restaurant called Legends that we had seen earlier. Turned out to be pretty good, too.
After lunch we drove over to Lunker’s Sporting Goods, one of the largest fishing, hunting and outdoor stores in the country. They had a little bit of everything. Neat store!
And since they had a moose, Jan had to get her picture taken with it.

And they had a nice bear too.
Next we headed east about 25 miles out through the country to While Pigeon, MI and Bontrager’s RV Surplus. I love wandering through these places. I think you could probably build your own RV with all the parts they have here. Of course, since all the parts are from different models and different years, you’d end up with a ‘FrankenRV”.
Now we headed south back into Indiana and on to Goshen, IN. That’s where the nearest Dunkin Donuts is and Jan wanted a pumpkin latte and a pumpkin muffin.
They were out of pumpkin muffins, but did have pumpkin donuts, so we muddled through.
Heading toward home, we stopped off at another natural foods store, still looking for Aunt Gussie’s Sugar Free cookies. And again with no luck.
Coming home, we stopped off at the park office to pick up our mail. Then we settled in for the night. And it looks to be another cold one.
Our daughter Brandi called to say Hi and it was good to talk to her. Only about 6 weeks until we see her, and Chris, Linda, and Piper, our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
Tomorrow night they’re talking about the possibility of snow showers!
I want my Global Warming and I want it now!
