We went on the tour of the Kirtland Temple, and afterwards visited with a family coming from Japan, who happened to know Victor Jackson, and were heading toward Virginia for more military duty. Then we quickly toured the Whitney Store. Our guide was especially informative about the objects and special events that occurred there. We would highly recommend a longer period of time than we allotted if you go there.
Now off to NY. We made it through the tunnel to get to the park with the 12’ 2” clearance! We spent the night in Lake Erie State Park, and it was right next to the lake.Best of....

Day 16: OH to PA to NY
The boys ventured to the camp showers which were supposed to have much better water pressure than the motorhome. We decided to be adventurous again and see if we could find any Amish. The KOA campground map boasted that we were in the heart of Amish country. Not until we turned onto another country road did we notice that we were actually at the very tail end of Amish country, so we readjusted our destination on the Garmin and bound and determined, we set off to find this folk. We saw one lady near a car but that was not good enough because they aren’t supposed to drive cars. We stopped at a vegetable stand to get some local food. Then off to finish our quest. By the way, the roads were fabulous to drive on (only in one county though—name will be listed later) and on that highway we had to slow down for none other that a horse and buggy. We tried not to be too invasive but our cameras were in full swing. Now off to Kirtland, OH.
