Amish Sights and Sounds

We left our summer home on October 13th and arrived at Country Acres RV Park in Gordonville, PA, close to Lancaster.  We really loved this campground.  It was very well kept and we had a nice pull thru end site overlooking farmlands and countryside. As I am writing this I am looking out the window and watching the Amish plow the cornfield behind our site.
When we arrived and I stepped out of the truck this is what I saw.

The insulation in the underbelly was full of water and was so heavy it dropped the underbelly.  We had no clue what was leaking so we propped up the underbelly and left the water off. Fortunately the park had very nice restroom and shower facilities close to our site.  The following day Quality RV Repair sent out a mobile tech (the owner of the company).  We were very impressed with him.  The result was, no leak.  We had kind of figured this since there was no smell to the water.  The way the sides of the rv slants down it allows for rain water to enter the underbelly.  The tech has seen this many times before.  We were very relieved that it was only that, and only required resealing the underbelly and putting some small holes in the bottom of it to drain the water.

We love the peacefulness of this area and the ways of the Amish. It is so picturesque, especially in the fall with all the colors changing and beautiful mums everywhere.  We spent most of our time riding through the countryside with Mickey in tow and stopping at Amish produce stands, shops and Mennonite bakeries.

Since one our standard snacks to eat are pretzels we took a ride to the Sturgis Pretzel Factory in Litiz, PA. For $3.00 we had an informative tour and were taught how to twist pretzels.  From there we strolled down main street taking in the sights of all the historical buildings and homes. And no trip to Litiz would be complete without visiting Wilbur Chocolate.  On that note, I think it is time for a chocolate caramel.
