Monday, July 10th

After a late morning breakfast at our old friend, Cracker Barrel, in Traverse City, MI, we hit the road. We drove 240 miles to Elkhart, Indiana, just a few miles from the Newmar plant and set up camp for two nights.

Just after we pulled in to the campsite, I noticed that our next door neighbors were from Louisiana. Being the neighborly (read nosy) sort, I introduced ourselves to Bonnie and Bob Peden from St. Francisville, LA. We spent a lovely evening with them at their picnic table. It bacame late and we still wouldn't leave so they invited us to share dinner with them. Bonnie warmed up some leftover spaghetti and Bob made a salad and we enjoyed their company in their 5th wheel.

Bob is a retired surgeon who does missionary trips to developing countries. Bonnie & Bob are lovely people and very inspirational!
