Last Call

April 17, 2018 Weather in Indianapolis is sunny, high of 53 and low of 35.    We are stopped for the night just to stage ourselves to travel north to Mishiwaka for an 11:30 am coach appointment.  Our camp for tonight is the KOA East Indianapolis, it is a large park so we did not bother calling ahead to reserve.  It is cold spring weather in the northern states. 
Indianapolis East KOA
April 18 & 19, 2018  Weather is still cool to cold high 48 or 50 and low of 30.    We left an hour ahead of the normal travel time to get to Mishawaka from Indianapolis.  Good thing we did.  Traffic was a parking lot on I465 bypass.  We had 12 miles and it took us almost 1 hour!!!!  Ughhh.  Tip:  next time we will go up to Elkhart area and camp.  It took us almost 4 hours to get there all because of the bottleneck in Indianapolis at work rush hour.  
Cummins Crosspoint is an Engine Service Depot only, nothing else on the coach.  Billy feels they are very well trained and competent so we wanted to stop on our way home.  After we stopped about 45 minutes away in lovely Shipshewana South Campground.  This time we did call ahead, not because we were worried about getting a site..... but that they would be open.  They open April 15 and it is weather permitting.  Once again we got lucky and they were just open and the water is on.
Walking over to the Mennonite Event Center
We are staying a couple of nights just to give Ontario one more day to warm up, pretty please!  Last night in Shipshewana it actually snowed at some point, when the sun came out this morning it melted away - Really Mother Nature, give it up..... please.
Shipshewana South Campground
Shipshewana South Campground is so convenient, nice long sites and big and quiet.  We have been here many times before and we can walk to everything, groceries, shops, restaurants and more in town.
Signs to caution you for the Horse and Buggy
This Amish town is so sweet and lovely.   Food is wonderful, and almost all the RV`s are built in the factories around here. 
Horse and buggy and Trailer on the main street
You will see horse and buggies or trailers on the roads everywhere.  It is a great spot to call our last call.
