On To Elkhart…
We left Mercer County Fairgrounds at the crack of 10:50 this morning, first for a short trip into town to have a final lunch at La Carreta, and then heading on to Elkhart.
Here we are parked right down the street.
About 20 miles down the road we entered Indiana, and almost immediately encountered a number of Amish buggies along the road.
When we were here last October all the buggies we saw had the enclosed cabins like in this photo below.
I guess now that it’s summer they put the top down and they look like this.
And of course, how can you tell if you’re in Amish country?
A little further down the road we passed through Decatur, IN, the birthplace of ‘Beauty’, our RV. Last year we took a factory tour of the plant, and also visited the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, IN.
You can see more about our trip here. Auburn Cord Museum.
We got into the Elkhart Campground about 2 pm and got set up. We’ll be here for a month before heading back to Houston for the birth of 2nd grandchild, Landon Morrison.
The park is much fuller than it was last October when we were here.
Tomorrow we’ll continue to get settled in and I’ll start on some maintenance stuff that I’ve been waiting to do until we got here.
More tomorrow…
