RV/Motorhome Hall of Fame

July 28, 2010
Elkhart, IN

The Hall of Fame Tour continues! In fact, for now, it's over as we have no more Halls scheduled on this year's excursion (unless we run into one by coincidence).

Like all of the other halls of fame visited on this trip, the RV/MH (Motorhome) Museum and Hall of Fame has evolved over time. Initially a "virtual hall" before physical space was obtained, it was finally developed as a museum in the early 1970s and moved to its current facility just off the I-80/I-90 Toll Road in 2007. A contemporary and open building, it houses the Hall of Fame (well over 200 inductees, very few of whom I recognized) on the second floor mezzanine and four different exhibits: components, new RVs, and two dedicated to older RVs. These last two are probably the most interesting, of course. We spent a couple of hours poking around, all in all.

We got home just before today's batch of thunderstorms rolled through. We didn't have any hail and we didn't hear any sirens, but we got several rounds of heavy downpours. Tomorrow will be a good test of the soil's ability to absorb water, as we'll be headed out (we hope) early in the morning. I was able to get the Rover hooked up before the storms, so we're halfway ready for travel.

Geri made a nice quiche for dinner, with the remaining asparagus from West Side Market in Cleveland, mushrooms, bacon, and peppers. Mmmm. We'll finish up out travel preparations before calling it a night, and be ready to be on the road by 8:30...
