After leaving Lexington, Ky. we drove to our next project, Crestwood Camp, near Louisville, Ky. on April 27th. Allan worked on maintenance and repair with Frank for about two weeks. We visited Churchill Downs and we watched the Kentucky Derby on TV rather than fighting the crowds. While at the camp, Allan had me practice changing the tire. The big question is ?? will I be able to physically change the tire and remember what I am suppose to do when and if I am presented with a flat tire. Hope so.
We spent one night in Indianapolis, In. and another night in Michigan City, In. right on the southern coast of Lake Michigan. I was surprised at how large Lake Michigan was. Not sure what I expected. That night a terrible storm with high winds arrived so we pulled in the slides and hunkered down.
We purposely planned our arrival in Holland, Mi. a week after the Tulip Festival to avoid the crowds. This was a fortunate decision because the tulips were just coming into full bloom when we arrived due to a late winter departure. The flowers were absolutely magnificent. I never realized there were so many colors and shapes of tulips. I really liked the town of Holland. At our campground we had a pair of Canadian geese who were the proud parents of lots of babies. I never could get a picture with all of them together.
We are having to go back and do belated posts due to problems with my computer and later a crash of the hard drive. It appeared that I lost everything including genealogy, pictures for the last 7 years and financials as my external hard drive did not back up or should I say the operator, me, was not techy enough to know how to do it properly.
