3 DAY REPORT- Fall 2009 Trip - THE INNER 12

THE FALL TRIP HAS BEGUN. LEFT MOOERS FORKS, NY, AT SUNRISE. UNEVENTFUL TRIP ON RT 11, UNTIL THE 81 MERGE. REALISED THAT THE BATTERY ON THE TOAD WAS NOT DISCONNECTED AND IT WAS DEAD.

UNEVENTFUL TRIP DOWN THE 81, UNTIL WE GOT TO OUR DESTINATION CAMPSITE. LEISURE LIVIN CAMPING AND RESORT - NICHOLS, NY.

IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE DUMP. WORST CAMPGROUND IN OUR 3 YEARS OF CAMPING THROUGH 36 STATES AND 9 PROVINCES.

WENT ON TO BATH, NY. HICKORY HILLS FAMILY RESORT. SUPER NICE. GREAT WEATHER, GREAT SCENERY.

BEST SIGN - GANDOLFO CEMENT COMPANY - CONCRETE- IT'S NOT JUST FOR SHOES ANYMORE !!

ON DAY 2, WE MOVED ON TO SANDUSKY, OHIO. CAMP SANDUSKY WAS AS GOOD AS LAST YEAR. THE TOWN IS JUST GREAT. REMODELING IS ONGOING. LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME. BARBERSHOP STILL HAS WILDROOT AND THE THEATER IS AS IT WAS IN 1918. JUST FANTASTIC LANDSCAPING IN ALL OF THE PARKS. A DEFINITE JEWEL. MET A HAM RADIO OPERATOR AT THE LAKE ERIE SHORE.HE IS IN HIS 90'S AND HAS HAD THE SAME CALL LETTERS SINCE 1939. EXTREMELY INTERESTING.

DAY 3 BROUGHT US TO SHIPSHEWANA. SOUTH CAMPGROUND IS AS CLEAN AND TIDY AS EVER. FLEA MARKET IS JUST GREAT AND THE ESSENHAUS HAS THE BEST BROASTED CHICKEN AND CHOICE OF 31 PIES ANYWHERE. AMISH COOKING, MM MM GOOD. BAKERY ON SITE........SHOO-FLY PIE IS A MUST TASTE.
