06/28/2023 - Day 13 Elkhart IN Elkhart Campground

It’s Wednesday and we’re in Elkhart, IN!  Of course when you’re retired “everyday is Saturday except Sunday”!   https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1OF529khAmaJ7zaTtaDAYKG8p94U9I-RB

What a drive it was to get here yesterday! We got stuck in LOTS of bumper to bumper road construction messes, which added about an hour and a half to our ETA! So we were all whipped when we finally got here.   There was a smoky haze all the way here, but luckily it wasn’t so thick we couldn’t see. And, there’s just a slight smoky smell (nothing like back in Montana when we kept skirting around their wildfires)  Look at the Air Quality in Elkhart! https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JndTShZBG7X90CFH_tH5_OqhdvSMOkvz
Anyway, I’m making sure Mr C keeps that inhaler handy!  Here’s some pics of our ride here:https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1aShMmnWdBT76DfE2IHNyQdTCtSaJzNgE https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1KoY_ISaM4xm-Dy_PMNNIU5nps4e_YZ5U  Google this👆👆it’s interesting how it got its name. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1SaBGMoqwhHeMcuUDXHDN5znWrl3zRsj5

It amazes me how many states have the same city names.  Did you know there’s a Kokomo, IN. Bunker Hill, IN. Peru, IN.  Miami, IN. And a whole bunch more!  https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=17lyxr3O7qUOhQ2L95ZZrrE1DbLZ97S5-
Mr C remembered The Beach Boys song about Kokomo, but it wasn’t in IN! LOL! Check this out!👇 Yes, Tree Tower! https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=14Ba45JkZdTc97aEblvOP71ghX-upf46p
