Right now we are sitting in the camper in Hickory Hollow Campground in North Utica, Illinois. We are just finishing supper and the third thunder storm just passed through. The first was the worst so far. Just as we pulled in. it felt like the world was coming to an end. Lightening thunder and all kinds of winds. First the sky turns dark then the wind followed by the end of the world.
Then it clears up and the whole thing starts all over again.
After leaving the Poconos we stayed in a campsite on the Pennsylvania/Ohio boarder for one night. We left early going west on I-80 again to Elkhart, Indiana. We stayed in a really nice campground in Elkhart, Thursday through Sunday.
Here is Ann, as usual, working hard. I, of course, was slaving over a hot grill making dinner.
Elkhart is has some nice walks down by the river, but it is still a depressed area with many stores and building for rent.
The downtown river walk.
The next day we went to the RV Hall of Fame where they have on display a sample of the different types of RV’s from 100 years ago until now.
After the RV Hall of Fame we went to the Midwest Museum of American Art where we saw an excellent collection of Quilts and Norman Rockwell paintings.
Since there is a large Amish population in Elkhart, we went for a 90 mile Audio tour around the countryside. We went to Bonneyville Mills Park which is park build around an old Gris mill. There was a group of Amish having a picnic. They all arrived either on bicycles or buggies.
And is Shipshewana, which is mostly one big flea market or shopping malls, Ann got her Carousel fix.
We then headed back to the campground. This morning we went to Trail Air to have the modification to the hitch. It is supposed to reduce the forward and backward motion of the trailer called Chucking. It seems to work.
Well that’s it for now.
See you down the Roan road….
