Trifecta

 August 19, 2024

Shipshewana South Campground

Shipshewana, Indiana

It was a trifecta day for Dad.  Our first full day in Shipshewana with lots to do and see, including horse and buggies traveling the countryside.

Careful Dad or you'll have horse droppings decorating your tires

The first item making the list was a visit to secure some 'Indiana Crack' at Rise n Roll.  Dad says these donuts are the lightest, tastiest treats with a unique caramel cinnamon fine powdered sugar coating.  But as if that's not good enough, he ordered his donut stuffed with bavarian cream.

Add that FREE cup of coffee on the side and you're in for a heavenly snack.

After being fortified at Rise n Roll, it was off to the second item on that trifecta list.  Anyone care to make a guess as to where Dad, the 'mr. fixit - handiman' might want to go?  If you said Bontrager's RV Surplus, you would be absolutely correct.  Now if you haven't been to Bontragers

just picture several buildings with shelves loaded down with surplus items to delve into.  Do you remember that repair part- the valve needed a few stops ago to stop the leak?  There it was, for half the price from the Crossville RV Parts shop where he purchased the part currently in use.  And of course, you never want to run out of screws in a variety of sizes.  Momma said she read quite a few chapters in her book while Dad took his time exploring all the offerings available for purchase.  She was sitting in front of the building on the red bench which was in the shade of the building making it a tad chilly, especially with that light breeze.  The high for the day was low 70's.  Yes, Momma had to dig out a jacket to put on today.

The next stop didn't make Dad's list, but Pam and Momma enjoyed shopping at Eash Sales

before heading to number three on the trifecta list.  It was Dad's turn to sit on the outdoor furniture.

And number 3, completing the trifecta....

Ben's serves up more than just the twisted pretzels.  The pretzels sandwiches are superb.  

I like this campground as there is lots of grass and we located a perfect area for ball playing.
