Thursday, June 25 (Niagara Falls KOA to Elkhart Co./Middlebury Exit KOA): Having a longer than normal trip ahead of us, we got up pretty early and hit the road. Other than having to pay tolls in New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, the trip was pretty much uneventful. We stopped for lunch at Arby’s and arrived at the KOA at about 3pm. The Elkhart/Middlebury KOA in Indiana is a bit larger than some of the others, and fairly occupied for once. By this point in our trip, the temperature in the 80s was welcomed. By the time we’d unloaded, it was too late in the day to see much of the area and it’s famous Amish communities. We’d read about the Das Dutchman Essenhaus Restaurant, so we decided to have dinner there, seeing a bit of the ... read more

It was tough but Mark agreed to stop in Wisconsin for cheese at Elliot's request. We had a nice little happy hour (sans drinks) of cheddar, brick and onion cheese driving through Madison. Despite traffic, we also enjoyed the Chicago skyline with Mark wishing he had time to stop off at Gene and Giorgetti's, a favorite steak place in town. I asked Mark what he like to add to this entry.

Well, we have served our sentence in “Camp Monaco”, and it feels like a life- time. Having never spent more than 2 week in any one (beautiful) place, we are now on week 4 in a car park in Elkhart Indiana. Not that Indiana is an awful place, it isn’t. It a lush green agricultural state, famous for being home to one of the largest Amish and Mennonite communities, home of the RV industry, the manufacture of vitamin pills and musical instruments. What more could you want? Now, we didn’t expect too much as Indiana does have one of the thinnest guide books on the shelf. However, there is a limited amount of time you can spend experiencing the Amish stuff, looking at endless fields of sweetcorn and soya bean, or touring RV factories and outlets. ... read more
