If you get far enough east, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania has a heavy population of Mennonite and Amish.

Re: bonneville visit
 

Lawrie, I'll be there for five days. Hope to get an opportunity to meet up with you and other Fordbarners while we are there.
I doubt you will be traveling down near the PA-MD State lines, but we have a lot of Amish folks living in the area between Lancaster, PA and Rising Sun, MD. Lancaster County, PA is considered to be big time Amish country.

Re: bonneville visit
 

Lawrie We have allot of bed and breakfast places near by, Vermont can be beautiful if you skip MUD season.

Re: bonneville visit
 

Went to Lancaster ,PA one time to buy truck parts... they were on a Amish farm. As soon as i pulled in with my friend, they greeted us with bread and home made pies! All the parts were in a silo. Wow! but what got me was all the little boys and the teens had no shoes on and were cutting down trees barefooted!!. That was a day! LOL

Re: bonneville visit
 

Lawrie, If you are stopping by Summit, in Talmadge Ohio, you are close to some large Amish communities in Holmes and Wayne counties, and Geauga county (where I live). Paul Selfe.

La Crete Alberta. Serious Mennonite country. No horses though.

I am ashamed to say that I have lived my whole life three hours from the Bonneville Salt Flats and have never been there for the speed trials. Just driven by on the freeway.:(

I loved the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins playing New Zealander Burt Munro who spent years building a 1920 Indian motorcycle -- a bike which helped him set the world land-speed record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. If you haven't seen it and have any interest in "tweaking" an engine to go fast, this is a must see.

i think that is a great movie, i have seen it twice!
