  • Taking in the Amish

    This area is somewhat populated by the Amish culture.  As you probably know, they live a very hard working yet simple life. Not cluttered by technology or the media.

  • All kinds of campers!

    You see all kinds of campers on the road. This is actually a camper cab up front complete with small kitchen. Amazing!
