In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Armstrong Air & Space Museum plus Fort Amanda






















This afternoon we drove north of Wapakoneta 9 miles to Fort Amanda. It was built to protect American supplies in the War of 1812. There are 75 unknown US soldiers buried there, one officer "murdered by Indians" and we found one 90 year old Revolutionary soldier who fought at Bunker Hill. A very nice peaceful place today with a 103 foot tall monument at the edge of a river & a soybean field.














After we slept in this morning we I stayed put while Judy went to Curves. When she returned we decided to visit the Armstrong Museum. We were both disappointed, we expected the museum would focus on Neil Armstrong who from Wapakoneta. Instead it was much more on the US space program than the first man to walk on the moon. That's me checking out a moon rock Neil came back with.
You can tell it's a weekend, the campground is filling up & a couple parties and in progress.
