Ohio is really a beautiful state. One thing that was obvious to us as we crossed into Ohio from Michigan was the superior quality of the roads in Ohio. We stay off of major highways as much as possible. We headed down to Holmes County, home to the world's largest Amish community. We had heard that the cultural experiences available here are unlike any elsewhere. This region is as famous for its Amish and Mennonite heritage as it is for its home-style food. The rich flavors and recipes that have been passed from one generation to the next are reminiscent of family feasts. The quilts are amazing one-of-a-kind works of art. Their handmade furniture is so comfortable. The farms in this area are well maintained, neat and orderly. They are a hard-working people with a simple lifestyle.
We found a quiet RV park located between Shreve and Wooster. It was called Lake Wapusun RV Park. It was quite big with lots of full-time campers. The weekender area was not crowded at all, and we found a beautiful spot right by one of the six lakes. They held a fishing derby on Saturday and kids were pulling fish out of the lake left and right.
The weather has been cool but pleasant with very little humidity. I have heard from several friends that California has been super hot and humid. We have really lucked out. The mosquitos and flies have been bothersome, and I kid Ken that my new fragrance is called "Deep Woods Off."
Here are some pictures of some of the little towns in the area.
