Shipshewana, Indiana

September 18 - 22, 2015

On to the second get together with the Women RV ladies. All of the ladies in Rockville Lake Park headed up to Shipshewana Campground South to meet some of the other ladies from the forum for another few days.

Back row L-R:
     Nan (Gentleladybear), Eileen (beazle), Sarah (bluepinecones), Sue (Colliemom), Carol (carolinagal),
     Roberta (bertk523),  Claudia (Wings), Tina (BirdbyBird), Kathy (gingerK)
From row L-R:
     Liz, Brenda (Sue's friend), Cheryl (IrishIroamed)

And a few came up for the day: Chezza, MelissaD & Phoenix

The site were a little closer together than I'd like, but it made the visiting easier.

But the view was fine by me!

Zorro and I experienced our first thunderstorm in Colt (the trailer) and I kept an eye on the radar. If any tornado warnings were announced I was planning on getting us to the shower building, even though dogs weren't allowed. I would guess the campground folks would have understood. I think Zorro had a good time, he was enjoying playing with all the other dogs. Here he is looking for Howdy to come out.

Nothing was preplanned, so as ideas for things to do came up, we just broke up into individual groups to check out the stores or to go for something to eat.

On Sunday, Sarah, Claudia and I went to breakfast in Elkhart (everything in Shipshewana is closed on Sunday) and then toured the Ruthmere mansion.

Yes that's a real cardinal at the fountain near the coach house.

Shipshewana is a very large Amish and it was fun to see all of the different carriages and bikes, including hearing the clip-clop of the horses hooves on the street. Seemed like I never had my camera with me to take a picture of a carriage going down the street, so the best I can do is a weather vane.
