Travel to Stillwater and Nimrod RV Park. Had to make it thru Halifax-- thank goodness for Sunday morning and no traffic. Stopped at Heritage Village. There are 15 buildings all made up for the forties/fifties nostalgia. All kinds of of old stuff sitting everywhere, Brings back a lot of memories. Had lunch there in the (Cook Shack). Served on enamal ware, were vegetable soup, beans, fresh baked bread. Molasses for the beans. Dessert was ginger-bread with Rhubarb sauce. A big thunderstorm just as we got there soaked us . Nimrod RV park set on a very nice little lake.
