Amazing Airstream Adventure Day Seven


After the servicemen at Airstream finished their last twists if screws and tightening of chains, we hit the road headed for Amish Country in Indiana. I researched an abandoned Amish Historic Farm that also has tours, great family style food, and evening community theater. With map in hand and the trusty GPS, we sat out. My co-pilot decided to listen to the GPS voice of doom which quickly had us going in squares across the Amish countryside viewing farms and fields.  We stopped along a gravel road in front of a barn and flagged down an oncoming car. We explained our dilema and the sweet lady motioned for us to follow her and she would direct us out.  Several miles later, she led us to the major highway, parked her car and explained the rest of the directions. She was one her way to her mother's funeral and would take us the rest of the way if she could. My heart sunk. We followed her directions only to find out that she didn't listen to the campground we were wanting the directions to and we found ourselves over an hour from where we were suppose to be. 

Finally, Denise consulted the map and we made our way to the Pla-more campground just down the street from Amish Acres in Nappamee. We missed the tours, buggy ride but still had time for dinner and the theater. At least we were able to see some authentic Amish farms while we were lost.
