Wakarusa ... all because I have friends who live/lived there!

And The Hunters Inn, nearby!
(does it still exist?)

And sadly I've never yet been to Shipshe ... although I know I would LOVE it! :)

One time I got to go to French Lick, Indiana and loved staying at the Sheraton there. Larry Byrd is from there, about 50 miles from Louisville,KY.

The Chubby Trout in Elkhart is a great restaurant. We went 2 out of 3 nights that we were there getting our camper worked on in Topeka. And we loved Shipshe!

If you get a chance you should really see the circus. They have the flying trapeze, high wire and lots of other things. The most amazing part is that it is all kids! 20 and under I believe. We try to go every year and it is always incredible.
