Goshen Indiana

We are still waiting our turn at the factory for repair of quite a few write-ups. Our appointment is for November 10th and they have scheduled 1 1/2 weeks for our repairs. We are hoping that they get all of the write-ups taken care of. It is nice here, we are at the Elkhart County Fairground, in Goshen, this is a great campground. Nice people here, but the weather is getting a little cold for us.

This is the heart of Amish country. Very interesting, and fun to see horse and buggies going down the street with all of the traffic. At all of the parking lots they have a place to hitch up the horse and buggy and some are even covered. The first two pictures are taken in the Walmart parking lot in Goshen. They have headlights, taillights and even turn signals on the buggy, and they have to obey all of the same traffic laws a car.



The RV industry employees most of the people in Northern Indiana, most of the RVs are built here in this area. They are having a tough time right now and there have been layoffs and cutbacks in the industry. They have an RV Museum and Hall of Fame in Elkhart and we plan to visit there in the next couple of weeks. While the coach is in the factory, we will have it in the evening and for the night from 3:30 pm until 7:30 am, then we will have to be out of it during the day. We figure we will do a lot of sightseeing every day, just for something to do.

Our plan is to be leaving this area by the end of November and head toward warmer climate. The fall is beautiful here, with the leaves turning colors and all. These are some pictures we took in the area.
