The drive from Streetsboro to Elkhart was long and warm. We did not wish to take the turnpike, so instead dropped south and picked up US 30, the Lincoln Highway. Very nice road- lightly traveled and in very good shape!
We arrived at our campground in Elkhart, IN about 5:30 and the air conditioned decided to be finicky, roaring, and then cutting off. Not nice on a 92 degree day! It finally settled down and has given us no more problems. Good thing! It's been HOT and HUMID. At 8:30 p.m. it was still 90 degrees.
Friday we drove 17 miles to Rise n' Roll bakery in the heart of Amish country (do you sense a pattern here?). We had yummy bakery and then drove into Shipshewana, seven miles away. We spent the day browsing through the stores and admiring the beautiful craftsmanship on the furniture that was displayed. We had been to Shipshewana previously, so went back to our favorite haunts to shop. We stopped at a roadside market on our way back to the trailer and purchased blueberries, canteloup, cukes, a tomato and a quart of cherries. In the evening we drove back to Das Dutchman Essenhaus restaurant for supper. Waddled home stuffed!
Saturday we drove back to Rise n' Roll bakery for breakfast. The bakery was very busy! It was great to see carriages at the hitching post right next to a Harley Davidson cycle and a tour bus! Definitely a cross section of people enjoying their baked goods! Came back into town and stopped at the RV Museum, Hall of Fame and Library where we spent an enjoyable 3 hours climbing in and out of historic trailers!
Sunday we will head into Michigan and Grand Rapids.
