Title: Is there anything fun to do in....
Post by: EX#996 on March 12, 2005, 03:43:32 AM
Elkhart, Indiana?

In April we're going to take the motor home to the manufacturer to get a few minor things fixed and they would like it for two days.  So does anyone know what we can do to fill the time when there?

Thanks!

Dawn   :)

Hang out with the Onwilers?  When are you doing this?

Wow, that's a hike for you guys.  Probably figure about the same travel time as Gingerman.

I should have something snappy to say on this but I confess I had to go to mapquest to check out where it is.  :-[  

Notre Dame's nearby, Amish country stuff is nearby too.  (Sounds like a lot of fun so far, right? )

You're welcome to stop or stay here.  I'm right on the way, but still 70 miles west of where you're going.  Have Chris meet you at an IN toll road plaza and bring him along.  I'll fatten them both up to slow 'em down.  :)

Paul either....

Our old scale, the heavier you were, the more of an error factor it read (lighter than you actually were).  I got one of those new fancy, dancy digital ones and snuck a peek when Paul stepped on it this morning.  Any guesses as to what it read?  Mind you he was just in his undies.   ;D

Just so you guys know, we have to have the motor home there during the week.  After talking with Paul, I think were going to try and shoot for the last weekend in April and then hit the Autobahn weekend with STT.

Paul's working on the bike now....  so far I haven't heard any swearing.

 ;D

Amish acres isnt too far from elkhart(the rv and trailer)capitol of the world. IT has a hotel...and complete amish like stores...if you like that stuff. OTher than that you are an hour away from Notre dame...

There is nothing in Indiana...even less in the northeast part of the state ::)

Aahhhh.....

Where we currently live is in the middle of Amish country.  Perhaps we should ask some of our neighbors, they probably have relatives there.

 ;D

From a fellow hoosier, I wouldn't quibble with that.  Up here we do have the dunes, National Park and lakeshore and sunsets over Lake Mich on lazy summer evenings.  

But you're right, there's not much.  I go to BHF or G'man to play. Putnam's for the southerners.  ;)

And today I spent the day snowboarding in Michigan.  Same last weekend.  Around here...well, I could have stood around in a cornfield and made shushing sounds....

Dawn, Autobahn sounds like a good idea.  I'm not doing RA this year so maybe I'll see you there!

OK....

We've got a plan of action!  We're not doing RA this year, but we will be attending the Autobahn STT on 04/30 - 05/01 to shake down the bike and then have the motor home to Four Winds on May 2nd and 3rd.  

We definately will need to make plans.
