We made it through New York with no problems and spent the night just across the state line in Pennsylvania. After pulling out of our site the next morning, Jeanne noticed a problem with the awning. So right in the exit lane of the campground, Allan extended the awning so that he could fully retract the awning. The only problem was the awning would not retract at all. Well, it wasn't the only problem. A big storm front with lots of wind was getting close to us and the awning was starting whip. Allan got the ladder out and was on the phone with the coach net tech, but still could not get it to retract. So a service repairman was called for us. The man that arrived was a mechanic, but had never worked on an awning like this. But between he and Allan and Jeanne, they were able to manually bring the awning and secure it to the coach. Just as they finished, the storm hit with high winds and heavy rain. God is good! We pulled back into our same campsite and spent another night there. We didn't want to chance being out on the road with tornado warnings.
Everything is holding together fine and we have traveled through Pennsylvania and Ohio and find ourselves in Indiana tonight. It is HOT to us. We are having to run our a/c.
The two previous days were spent in Ohio in Amish country. It was very beautiful and does not appear to be affected by the drought. We ate at an Amish restaurant, took advantage of fresh produce and of course, Allan had to have another fresh baked pie. (Elderberry)
We love the scenery in this part of the country with the rolling hills and the farm setting, highlighted by the horse and buggies.
We went to a musical production that was called "The Confession" which was based on a Beverly Lewis book. These were extremely talented actors/singers. This was very professionally done. Years ago we would go to dinner theaters frequently, but it has been a long time. We certainly enjoyed our night out.
Jeanne got another horse fix while in Ohio. Here is a picture just behind our RV.
