The Big O Tires Store in Indianapolis got the tires installed on the van, and I had them put on the front of the vehicle. When the tires are needed to hold the weight of the trailer, and stopping it, the cost of the tires increases, a lot. The cost of two Load Range E tires for our van is $467.04, installed, and it seems to be in line with the tires we bought 1 1/2 years ago. We should be done with buying tires for a few years.
Anne-Marie choose the RV Park that we are checked into, because it had “Resort” in it’s name. We both studied the available RV parks, and we decided that this end of town would give us a day of big town shopping. We have never been to this RV Park before, and it was a surprise to us after we checked in. The overnight/pull through section is kind of bleak, look at the wide picture. There was a nice looking Koa RV park next to the freeway, and we got our expectations a little high, and then a little bummed after we paid for two nights, and saw the parking sites. Next time we need to stay at this end of Indianapolis, we will stay at the KOA.
We chose this little restaurant for dinner, the parking lot was full, and the inside was packed.
Tired, thirsty and hungry, we both ordered food and drinks. We has an enjoyable dinner with a lot of people watching. This is a small restaurant, and customers were being fed, enjoying company, some even being loud and laughing, and all of this reminded me of some of our favorite restaurants that we have found throughout the country.
After dinner we seemed to wind down, and were ready to head back to the quiet of the trailer. I was more tired than what Anne-Marie shows in this picture.
Anne-Marie wants us to find a Macy’s near Indianapolis to buy me some more Dockers brand of shorts, because the ones that I have are a bit frayed around the bottom edges.
I can see us staying here only one more night (tonight), and then we move north. Retirement and travel, sometimes is hard to do for very long. Whenever someone asks, “How much does it cost to travel in a RV all of the time?” my thoughts are, about all that you got and some savings too. If we run short of funds, we just stay a little longer at a place that we like, and we do overspend sometimes, and lengthen our stay. We don’t have the energy or the funds to travel every day, and we have to tour the area’s sights on layover days. What this means, is we will have to do another lay-over day (two nights stay), somewhere in Michigan. It’s fun to be a bit flexible, and not need to be somewhere, and our mode of travel suits us just fine.
