The Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY

I am attaching pictures of the vette's taken at the museum.

Mammoth Cave National Park, KY

After the horse park, we came down to see Mammoth Cave.  There is a campground right next to the visitor's center and we stayed there.  It is strictly dry camping.  There are deer in the park everywhere.  They are not afraid of people or Starr!  I felt someone or something staring at me and turned around and it was a deer.

 

Here's the entrance to the cave.

 

We were there on Halloween and how's this for a scary picture?  Sure looks like the cave was looking out at us.

 

There was also bats in the cave!!!

 

There was a pack rat there making her nest for the next two months.  I wasn't able to get a picture of her.  But rats in the cave too!!!!

 

So here are a couple of pictures of the formations in the cave.  These are from the Frozen Niagara Tour.

 

And here are some pictures from the past mining they did for salt peter.  Once the war of 1812 was over, they just walked away from the mining operation.  The "pipes" are made from trees.  They just hollowed out the centers.

 

 

 

Kentucky Horse Park

After Indiana, we went down to the Kentucky Horse Park.  We were able to stay at the campgrounds there for several days.  The first day there was a competition for horses and riders.  They had various "games" that they completed on their horses.  There were teams of four and each group had to do things such as putting a cup on a post.  One of the games was having the rider run down on the horse, jump off and grab something off the ground, jump back on the horse and then put the item on a post.  They also had to pass off the an item for the next player.  I don't think I am explaining it very well, but it was exciting to watch.  Watching those people vault onto their horses - wow, better athlete than me, that's for sure.

The next day we went around and saw the various museums around the grounds.  So much to see and do there.  Here are a few pictures.

 

The statue above with Jeff is Man O'War.  The pictures of us on horses was a photo shop thing. 

Elkhart, IN and Amish Country

 

We picked up things to change in our RV in Topeka, IN.  We also took a factory tour.  The best thing is that we still really like our fifth wheel and plan to keep it for some time.  This is Amish country and we saw lots of horse and buggies traveling down the road.  I was amazed that these horses don't walk anywhere.  They trot.  I thought it was pretty cool of Walmart to provide the horse and buggies with a special place to park. 

 

We were also in Elkhart.  I liked the painted elk they had all around the city.  Here is a couple of my favorites.

 

This one above is at the RV/MH Hall of Fame.  As you can see from the picture below, Jeff picked up a new girlfriend there.  I think she told him she would share her cigars and let him win at poker.

 

The most unusual thing I saw at the Hall of Fame was this bathtub in a trailer. 

More Michigan and Indiana

Before we left Bob and Karen's place, I caught Bob and Jeff taking the "blue boy" out to the field to dump gray water.  They look like they are having way too much fun.













This is the view we had when we stayed in Grand Haven, MI.  We were still along Lake Michigan. 

 

We spent a lot of time visiting with Carol and Denny.  Had a lot of fun with them.  We did get a trip into Holland, MI while we were there.  This was at the Windmill Park.

 

 

We are now staying in Goshen, IN.  Thought this police booth was interesting.  They locked up criminals like John Dillinger here.  I'm sure there were no Halloween decorations at the time though.  This is sitting right on the street corner next to city hall.

We went through the town of Nappanee yesterday.  They have half apples around their town.  Here are a couple that Jeff and I liked.

 

 

We have both been saying this for 5 months now.

Algoma Train to Agawa Canyon in Ontario, Canada

We took the Algoma train from Sault Ste Marie in Ontario to Agawa Canyon.  All the trees were changing colors.  We passed by several lakes.  The countryside was very nice.  We stopped in Agawa Canyon and took a short hike to Bridal Veil Falls and the upper and lower Beaver Falls.




On the train

 

 

 

 

 

Here we are at Bridal Falls.

 

 

 

And the Upper and Lower Beaver Falls.

 

 

Here is the train that we took.

 

Caught this rainbow on the ride back on the train.

 

 

 



Michigan - The Big Mitt

Bob's and Karen's Place
We are staying here at Jeff's brother and sister's place.  They have acreage and we are staying on part of it.  Took the RV down and got a three receiver hitch put on.  Jeff and Bob also put in slide out drawers for me in my kitchen.  Yeah!!!

 

There is plenty of tree color right here on their property.  Couldn't get a picture without Starr in it.  She is having way too much fun.  Karen walks her all the time (for miles) and Starr loves it.

 

There are turkeys I am seeing other than Jeff.

 

 

 

Mackinac Island

We went over to the island with our bicycles and rode around the island.  There is a bicycle path all the way around.  Took the ferry over there.  No cars are allowed, just horses and bicycles.  You can catch the horse and buggy, rent a bicycle, take your own bicycle, or walk.  Here's the ferry we took over.

 

This is called Devil's Kitchen.

 

And this natural made arch is along the bike path also.

 

 

Colonial Michilimackinac Park and the Mackinac Bridge

This is the fort at the base of the Mackinac Bridge.  The fort was originally built here by the French and then the British took it over and moved it to Mackinac Island.  I wanted to show off the bridge first.  It is five miles long and connects the UP and the Mitt parts of Michigan.

 

More pictures of the fort.  This cannon is fired several times a day.
