On Monday the 23rd we left Bloomington, IL and headed to Elkhart, IN. Our plan was to buy a new hide-a-bed for the rv. When we got there and put out the slides, there was a clunk and the living room slide didn't extend all the way on one end. So I called and made an appointment to have the slide looked at when we get to Troy, Ohio. We decide to put the sofa on hold till we find out what it is going to cost to repair the slide. We still went to around to the stores in town and checked out the sofas. We didn't find any we like anyway, so no harm in putting it off. On our way to the rv stores we found a Harley shop to stop at.
On Wednesday we headed out on the bike for Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The weather was mid 70s, a great day for a ride. We passed this smoke stack in Michigan City. This thing is hugh.
We stopped at the first beach access we came to and walked down to the beach. I have no idea what the temperature of the water was but there was no way I was getting in the water.
We took a few pictures of the beach and then the battery in the camera went dead. We really need check that before we leave on a ride. We didn't get any good pics of the dunes.
After we left the beach, we headed for the visitors center so Louise could her Passport Book stamped. The book has a place to stamp for every National Park, Monument and Wildlife refuse. We try to go to everyone we can so she can get the book stamped. The ranger told us about a lake shore drive. We took that on the way back. The views were really nice and some of the houses along the route were REALLY nice. Sorry, no pics, it's a battery thing.
Thursday was moving day. We hooked up and headed south to Wilmington Thousand Trails Campground. It was a 260 mile drive that went smoothly. This is our first stay at a Thousand Trails park since we acquired the membership earlier this year. We will be here for about week visiting with daughter Stacy and Ruth Ann. The appointment to get the slide fixed is on Aug.6 so we may stay here till then .
Till next time
Duane and Louise

So sorry to hear about the slide issue. It is always something.
Enjoy your family time. Looking forward to seeing some updated photos...plug the battery in now.
That's a lake? It looks like an ocean beach to me. I guess we will see it for ourselves soon!
