Elkhart - our fix it stop

Hot and sunny as we left Albion for Elkhart. It is a nice drive up Rte 9 N, Rte 6 W and then north on Rte 33 but I don't think Indiana is a pretty a state (atleast the northern part) as Ohio. The hot & humid weather has arrived. The park we are staying at for the next couple days is the first Good Sam Park we have tried and it is very nice. The lots are level and good size. The facilities are very nice. Even the satellite worked. It is also close to the service center we need to visit.

Elkhart is the RV Capital and until the economy slump the area manufactured almost 50% of all RV's (except ours which is made in Nokomis, Fla). This area has been hit very hard and it is sad to see all of the closed businesses. Took an excursion around town and found some very nice areas along the Elkhart River. Decided to stop at an Italian place called Michaels (was good but not as good as Guido's).

I always check the tourist brochures in the restaurant lobbies for information. That's how we found out about the RV/MH Hall of Fame and we will go there tomorrow while the coach is being worked on.

Sat at the picnic table for a while and then called it a night.
