Other things and stuff:
· Anyone want to play golf? There are several courses in the area. You floggers, er, I mean golfers, probably know them better than I do (that is, nothing) about the local courses, but I’ll be happy to ask someone to arrange an outing. 😉
· Shipshe (local people call it that) has a ton of stuff to do. If you’ve been there before, I won’t bore you with details. If you haven’t been there before, here’s a short list, and there’s lots more in the welcome packet.
o This week is the last hurrah for the flea market, which is quite large. North of the campground on SR 5, easy to find.
o Lots of shopping along SR5, but don’t be afraid to get off the main road, especially to the East to find lots of other shopping and food.
o One of my favorite places is the Hardware Store on SR5. It’s BIG and has LOTS of stuff, including hardware!
o Wanacup Restaurant has the best homemade root beer, reminds me of the old time A&W.
· Shipshe is ‘dry’, so bring your adult beverages or plan on driving a few miles.
· Lots of Amish and Menonites around, so please beware of horses, carriages and bicyclist as you motor around. Horses, especially, don’t observe traffic signs and signals!

Lyle, we will be arriving Thursday evening, maybe too late for dinner. We would enjoy the meal at the Blue Gate, don't really care one way or the other about the seminars.
Looking forward to seeing everyone. And shopping in Shipshe and surrounding areas.
Kathy plans to go fabric shopping at Zincks in Ligonier Friday morning if any of the ladies would like to go along.

We will be in Elkhart to have disc brakes installed on Friday the 6th, so God willing we'll join y'all that evening and for the remainder of the rally. Blue will be dependent on time of arrival. DW looooooves to eat out ��

Hey everyone, really looking forward to the Rally in Shipshe! The shopping, the food, the Rise and Shine pastries Heaven! We are in for the Blue Gate on Friday night, no on the Sky Med, and don't one way or the other about Kleen Tank. Your Rally is always so much fun and very laid back. See everyone soon.

We've been thinking and since we have to be there the afternoon of the 5th (they'll start work at 6 am on the 6th) we might be able to stop over and say hi in the afternoon and stay for the campfire 🔥 return to Morryde for the night and efc etc. I'm always scheming 😉

You will be all done by the afternoon of the 7th

Well I hope better than that. They told me we'd be done by 2 or 3 pm. It's a Friday and they don't work on Saturday soooooooo. Time will tell

My mistake, I was thinking of IS and disc brakes. Disc brakes are only 3/4 of a day.

I am getting the wet bolt kits too, so maybe the whole day. 😉
