Our next stop on this 2 month journey was Michigan City, Indiana at the Michigan City Campground.
We met and sat with a nice couple from New Hampshire on the lot next to us but their trip was taking them in the opposite direction out to Colorado.
This part of Indiana is very pretty and the weather there was good.
Gary went for a bike ride with his friend who lived just 20 minutes from the park and the funny thing is that his friend was in the Eastern time zone and we were in the Central time zone so the friend was an hour ahead.
Below, the cyclists stop to view the lake. A view of the beautiful catch and release pond at our Campground.
After Indiana we stopped for the night at a Super Walmart in Youngstown, Ohio off of the I-80. Even though we parked next to some other trucks we were warned that some of our car parts might be missing in the morning so we slept with one eye open. Luckily the car was intact the next morning,

The next stop was in the Poconos at the Stonybrook RV Resort in Lehighton, Pa.
They advertise that they have pickleball courts but it is really just some lines painted on an uneven cracked basketball court with a bumpy surface. It rained one night and the next day there was a big puddle in the middle where the kitchen lines were. See below. How very funny to think they can call this a pickleball court.
We spent one day touring Jim Thorpe, a town in Pennsylvania named after the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States in the Olympics. Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 summer Olympics. He also played football, professional baseball, and basketball.
Jim Thorpe is a quaint little town in the Poconos with a train station, trolleys, an old prison, an opera house, shops & restaurants. The architecture in the town made me feel like we were back in the 1970s.
We also saw a bunch of loud crazy teenage boys doing river rafting there.
And this guy in the street dressed up as a plant in a pot scaring people that walked by.
On the way to Lake George, NY where my family vacationed many summers when I was a child.
Labor Day weekend in the Adirondacks at The Moose Hillock Resort in Fort Ann, next to Lake George, NY.
This resort is on 182 acres and has over 300 individual oversized private sites in the woods for each camper and their family.
They also have a pavilion for entertainment and a super sized pool with slides on both sides of the pool. There is also a movie screen facing the pool for those that want to swim and watch a movie on selected evenings.
Nearby there is a wonderful small restaurant named LeRoux Bistro that is chef owned. We highly recommend it.
Temperatures in NY this weekend are hot and humid.
We hope you are all enjoying this last holiday weekend of the summer.
Oh my goodness.. I wish I were a mouse in your pocket!! What fun and interesting adventures you are having! It was so funny about the man in the bush and what that one resort calls “pickleball courts”! Your last resort in NY is very nice. Enjoy each other and your very cool adventures. Be safe!
