Amish country, Indiana

After Labor Day we were ready to head home but stopped in Chicago to check with the dealer where Leon got the 5th wheel about a problem he was having. They sent us to the manufacturer - just a few hours away. And there we were back in northern Indiana where we were just a month ago! But alas! This time we were in Amish country. We dropped off the trailer and went straight to Shipshewana and the huge flea market. This motor powered ice cream maker was interesting.


In the auction barn there must have been six auctions happening at the same time.

This was the bicycle parking area.

Parking was at a premium.

Hey, why don't you come to my place later.

The crowds just kept coming but we decided to explore the countryside and shop. We can go to flea markets anywhere.

I wonder how long this guy had to stand and wait.

On the backroads we passed so many pristine large white houses and barns.

We had no idea the Amish were building rv's. This area near Elkhart, Indiana builds one of every two recreational vehicles on the road.

We returned to Millersburg before we wanted. They were most kind and had us fixed (for free) and on the road in only five hours. We headed south towards home and the dead end.
