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.

Amish area, a ton of cheese & our HitchHiker had a touch up

 
Some sights from around Amish country.  Monday morning has the be laundry day at every Amish residence.  Clothes line after clothes line as we drove the back roads.  We passed 3 schools within 5 miles and the kids were all playing baseball in their long dresses and the boys were wearing knit hats.  I was impressed by lots of bicycles around the school houses, the teacher had a buggy.

We stopped at an Amish bulk food store, when they say bulk they REALLY mean it!   A one ton chuck of cheese!

We were impressed with how fast Mikes Custom Painting removed the Canadian map and painted the area white, beige, burgundy then 4 coats of clear.  They started at 8am and were done painting by 10:30.  We picked our HitchHiker up at 2:30 pm so it had 4 hours to cure.  Brad and Mike use a fast drying paint obviously and the correction looks very good.  We then towed 3 miles to Pla-Mor campground for the night.  It's going to rain tonight and we were tired.  I had to use four wheel drive for the first time in 6 years to start moving forward after stopping in the grass to let Judy out as the 4 rear tires just spun in the soft damp grass.  Tomorrow we'll be in Tecumseh.
