Amherst, Ohio

We get up, make coffee and head out. We stop for breakfast at Panera Bread. Our one tourist stop today is at Indiana Dunes National Park.  We stopped here about 13 years ago when it was called Indiana  Dunes National Lakeshore. In 2019 it became the 61st National Park, so of course we had to stop to update the Park stamp in Linda’s Park Passport book.

Hiking up Mt Baldy in 2012

Top of Mt Baldy in 2012

We also stop by Mt Baldy which is a very tall sand dune, part of the state park. They no longer allow tourists to hike up the dune.  Too much foot traffic is contributing to the movement of the dune. It is starting to over take the adjacent parking lot.

We have lunch in the parking lot and I figure out where we are going to stay tonight.  I find and interesting Brew Pub on Harvest Host in Amherst Ohio. They also have a good food selection, may Brew Pubs do not. We meet another RV couple heading west for a couple weeks and have and enjoyable conversation with them.
