Deja Vu' all Over Again

We are supposed to be in Louisville, Kentucky, tonight, but as they say, stuff happens.  After brushing some low hanging tree limbs in Sault Ste Marie, I finally remembered to go up on the roof and check for damage last Thursday.  Didn't note anything that may have been caused by a tree limb, but one side of the roof over the entry door seemed to have a bubble in it.  Further investigation revealed a "bump" in the radius metal that transitions from the roof to the sidewall of the motorhome.


A couple of phone calls to the kind people at Newmar, and we had an emergency appointment for repairs.  Today's trip from Columbus, Ohio to Nappanee, Indiana, was 227 miles, not that far to go for the repair, and the peace of mind of knowing that the work will be done correctly and efficiently.

We followed US 33 out of Columbus NW toward Marysville, Bellefontaine, Wapakoneta and Lima.  From Lima we continued through Van Wert and on into Indiana. As we skirted around Ft Wayne, we transitioned to US 30 toward Goshen, IN, and then turned west on US 6 for the run into Nappanee.  A pleasant journey across midwestern farmland in the fall.



With most of the corn either being harvested or ready to harvest, the fields sure looked different from when we were here in July!  Three months ago the corn was just a couple of feet tall, and fresh, bright green.  Today it's all brown!

Just as we were leaving Ohio, we came across a huge wind farm.  Producing thousands of kilowatts, this is one of the largest farms we've come across.


And about 2:30 we pulled into Camp Newmar. When we were last here in July, the lot was just about empty; in fact, we were only one of three motorhomes here for about a week.  Now almost all the sites are filled with people needing service or warranty service.  It's a busy, busy place.  We've been promised service tomorrow, but we're unsure of the time.  The techs start their day at 6:00 am, so we'll need to be ready then, and hope for an early visit!
