Two friends and I are camping all weekend. We've got 2 sites on the end by the road that leads to the speedville bridge but not inside the carousel. The '64 should be parked there all weekend.

I'm local so I highly recommend eating at Brown Baer in downtown Elkhart. Great food and AMAZING corn bread!
