Elkhart City River Walk


 Today we went to Elkhart to pick up mail.  While there we decided to take a walk along Elkhart's River Walk.  The main walk is along the old industrial part of town that was generally powered by the Elkhart River's waters.  Wandering along the  paths will eventually get you along the St Joseph River and the old swimming pools & water park area.

Had a nice walk which took about 1.5 hrs.  In other news we got off light at MORryde to have the trailer suspension replaced.  Seems we're fine as is though our trailer to truck bed rails is on the low sided.  Too low to have the suspension replaced with the MORryde IS Suspension unless we get a taller hitch.  Our most challenging places for bed rail to trailer clearance are 
Birmingham South (B'ham, AL) and Friendship Village (Bedford, PA) campgrounds.  We cleared both of those just fine, so there's really no need to do anything.  It just that I could have sworn we were traveling with the trailer front high and outside DRV specs.  For now we're going to travel "as-is".  If we run into a bed rail to trailer clearance issue, we'll revisit all this.

As no more work is needed, we're spending the rest of the week at Shipshewana, IN.  Plans are to move north Monday.  Until then we're just hanging out having fun.  We're over our colds.  Greg & Judy are here and Jeff & Susan are in the local area.  Consequently, we're getting in some good visiting time and eating out too much.  Oh well, there's bicycle riding  to look forward to next week.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and checking in.  Later, David
