Goshen countdown

[bodzcampers]

Kinda looks like the time I backed into a campspot and crashed a couple of bikes into a tree. .

Turbs, I'm guessing you haven't even read it. You liked it as soon as you saw the title.

The link won't work until the information is posted online on the FROG website, then I'll post the link.

Yeah I have to admit I only looked at the pictures

All the tours sound great!

[NotLookinBack5455]

They all sound like fun, we are bringing the Harley, so we are most likely going to ride while we are in that area! Looking forward to campground festivities!

[RVChick]

I definitely want to do one....hmmmm they all sound intriguing!! I have never visited an Amish community, and I am looking forward to this! We too are bringing our Harley (heck that is why we bought the XLR TH!) and will be riding with NotLookingBack....hope more will be there with bikes and would love to ride as well! I can't wait!!
I think I need Frank to give a countdown shout out again!!

[bodzcampers]

We're bringing bikes, but the kind you pedal. You guys will be in for a great ride in the country side there. Amish communities are quite serene and a look back in time. Many of the farms out of the way off the main roads have signs at the roadside that tell you what they sell. They are very friendly, BTW. I get down there at least once a year and have an Amish community not far from where we are seasonal. One Amish farm near our CG has a bakery. First time I went, pulled in with the house on the left and cute little bakery bldg. on right. Parked and went in. The baked goods, pickles, jams, etc were all on shelves. No one was inside. Waited. Waited. Waited. Finally someone yelled from the house, "Can I help you Mrs.?" I said, Yes, want to buy some things. She said, "Okay, just take what you want and put the money in the box". In God we trust!

All of the tours sound great. Will have to print and give to DW for her input. Don't want to assume(you know what that means) she will like a tour only to find out I made an error. Not that I have ever done this.

Tour 3 and Shipshewana Flea Market and maybe the factory on final prep before delivery if one is offered this year.

There's A LOT more information on the forms that I gave to IT regarding the tours. You might want to give it a day or two and then print out the full descriptions along with the registration form.
