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.

Wapakoneta, OH

After taking D to school this morning and saying our good byes we packed up and pulled out about 10am and made our final deposit at the BP station down the road. We drove to Wapakoneta, OH and Lakewood Village Resort for a few days and see if we can remember how to explore. It's a nice and, this time of the year, very quite place to stay. We still remembered how to pack up, move and set up after 2 months in Michigan. Thanks Randy & Kristi for letting us live in your pasture while we were in Onsted! Our site backs up to a large soybean field & the crickets and bugs sing to us all the time just like in Onsted; fall is a wonderful time of the year & now that the rain has stopped the weather is terrific so all the windows are open. Judy is happy, she found a Curves 3 miles away, she's there now.

Back to school

Tuesday is back to school day in Michigan and D was no exception. When she arrived after her fist day we all had a cake to celebrate, made a good after school snack for all of us.

Getting ready to leave MI

Well, I really do not remember all that we have been up to since my last post. I've watched Randy do some work around his house (with my slight assistance). He built a 40 foot long covered lean to on the pole barn for wood storage. He's planning on getting a wood burning fireplace insert. We went to the horse races with Joan & Al, Judy & I contributed to the new track. We have spent time going through the closets & cupboards cleaning out unused items. I think I got rid of so much clothing I'll have to go to nudist camp grounds as I've nothing left to wear. We have washed the RV and waxed the front cap so bugs will clean off a little easier. The truck has been serviced so she's ready to go. And, OF COURSE, we have spent time with Devyn! We are planning on pulling out Thursday morning after Devyn leaves for school. If it's raining we'll stay until it clears because I just don't want to get the RV dirty after just cleaning it!
