30 May
This morning we got up with the birds and at 0658 hrs we pulled chocks at the Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds Campground in Goshen IN. We had an outstanding time at the 2022 Alliance RV Rally but the time has come to move on down the road. We programmed our GPS and set sail for out next destination, the Whispering Hills RV Park near Georgetown KY, our eighth stop on this years 37 stop trip.
The trip was uneventful except for a couple GPS hiccups. It really decided to go nuts around Cincinnati, so much so that we pulled off at a fuel stop and reset everything. So just the way the interstate highways are laid out, we went from Indiana into Ohio, then back into Indiana and then into Kentucky!
Other than that it was a beautiful, sunny travel day but the southerly wind took it's toll on the fuel mileage. We chewed through the diesel and made a refueling stop part way down.
Six hours and 23 minutes and 331 miles later, at 1321 hrs we rolled into the Whispering Hills RV Park. We in-processed quickly and were escorted to our camping spot, a full-hookup pull-through. There are two other Alliance fifth wheels here besides ours, our friends Michael & Donna Pizzi and Phil & Pam Lau. The Pizzi's departed the Rally yesterday and the Lau's departed about the same time we did this morning. They both leave tomorrow morning but we are staying for four nights.
This is beautiful campground with 232 sites. Some are pull-through and some are back-in. They have a nice pond that you can fish or use non-motorized boating, and a lot of amenities for the kids, sich as inflatable "jumpy-jumps". They have a very nice swimming pool with some slides and an adjacent bath house that also houses their laundry facilities.
As soon as we got unhitched and set-up, Doreen headed up to the laundry facility and did three loads. The dryers were mediocre, so she brought a lot of my dry-fit shirts and other items back here and hung them up to further dry. The fabric softener makes it smell pretty good in here!
Tomorrow we are going to the Ark Encounter, which is a "Christian young Earth creationist theme park that opened in Williamstown, Kentucky in 2016. The centerpiece of the park is a large representation of Noah's Ark, based on the Genesis flood narrative contained in the Bible. It is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high."
