Sandy also repurposes old furniture and "junk" into usable items and gifts in her workshop.

Near Beaver Brook Falls National Area, Poore Family Homestead Museum. Tillotson Center and Great North Woods Committee for the Arts host concerts, plays, visual and performing arts. Lots of hiking, biking, fishing and hunting.

The youngest old person you'll ever meet. Details: Sandy is a retired NH Licensed Massage Therapist and Jim is retired from GE. We started a homestead farm in 2002 and raised egg and meat chickens, milk goats, sometimes a few freezer pigs or lambs. In 2019 we decided we'd had enough of north country winters and wanted to spend the winter months somewhere where there wasn't snow, ice and bitter cold. We sold our farm livestock (400 chickens, 15 goats, and 3 Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs), and bought our RV. We come back to the north country for the spring, summer and fall months to enjoy the beautiful surroundings we live in. Home Town: Columbia, NH Favorite Boondocking Locations: No place in particular. Skills or Expertise to Share: Jim can fix just about anything. Sandy is an excellent carpenter and loves interior decorating. She repurposes old furniture and "junk" in her workshop, turning them into useful items and gifts. She also loves to write about their travels on her travel blog at crosscountrycruzin.blogspot.com.

Ok, let's get this part out of the way. Yes, it's a little bit tricky getting parked, but Jim was super helpful & my TT slipped right in. From the start I knew these were good people. The welcome, the smiles, the help they gave me (this is my inaugural "voyage" and while I felt prepared, you can never learn too much). I was given a printout with some information about the area, a guide to specific interests, trails, area eats and other good things. What really set my heart soaring and nearly put a tear in my eye was that first morning when I opened the door to dawn breaking over their beautiful pond, Autumn colors and mountain peaks all around. I felt so humbled that they were so generous and willing to share their little piece of paradise. In a short time I've known you, Jim and Sandy, I've come to love you. Thanks so much!

Jim and Sandy were very welcoming, Jim met us at the end of their driveway and escorted us into our spot. Sandy had a typed points of interest for their area, it was very detailed and helpful. We would definitely stay here if we are in the area again!!
