Honey Bear Hollow Campground

BAM, BAM, BANG!! I'm sure I jumped a mile at the sound of acorns bouncing off of Auntie Violet's metal roof last night!  We were parked underneath an oak tree at Honey Bear Hollow Campground near Peru, Indiana.  It was a gorgeous place, but who knew that acorns could be so loud!  They didn't fall singly either.  There would be a rain of half a dozen at a time ricocheting off the roof.  I looked for squirrels, didn't see any, so don't know why a bunch would come down all at once?

This was the gorgeous view we had looking out Auntie Violet's front window last evening --

Toni, one of the owners of Honey Bear Hollow, made us a wonderful pizza for dinner last night.  We were able to order it when we arrived, then walked over to the office at 5:30 to pick it up.

With the broken hydraulic line, we were unable to put the jacks down nor put any of the slides out without oil pouring out, so we spent last night -- and will again tonight -- with everything closed up.  Forry can sit nice and close in the passenger seat to watch TV and we cleared off a corner of the couch for me. I sure will be happier when we can spread out again!

We left a little after noon and headed north again on State Highway 31 towards Elkhart.  It was an absolutely beautiful drive --

I think I'm going to have to do some shopping and see if I can find a filter for my camera that will bring out the reds better.  These pictures just do not do justice to some of the colorful foliage.

We are parked tonight in the middle of a grassy area at Elkhart Campground.  We unhitched Toad and drove over to check out the route to Stuart's Service where we have a 9:30 AM appointment.  We also took a look at where Daughter Dawn and Todd lived while he was going to seminary at AMBS and saw the new building that will be offices for Mennonite Church USA, Mennonite Mission Network and Mennonite Education Agency.
