Burt and Bev have been married for over 50 years and have three children. Details: Burt and Bev enjoy outdoor activities and traveling as much as possible. We recently moved closer to Topeka after living for over 30 years on a farm of an adjoining county. With our smaller acreage we expect to be on the road a great deal in our 39 ft Glendale Titanium. We are currently held to shorter trips because we are looking after the needs of an elderly relative. Our acreage includes many trees and is surrounded by woodland. Inhabitants include turkeys, hoot owls, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits and an assortment of other birds and varmints. Home Town: Berryton is an unincorporated area just south of Topeka, Kansas. Our acreage is four miles from Lake Shawnee of Topeka and within an hour of four Kansas reservoirs and very nice state parks for RVing and water sports. We are within two miles of Heartland Park racegrounds. Burt was born and raised nearby and Bev is originally from Washington state. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Anywhere that it is quiet and scenic. Cool in the summer and warm in winter is helpful. We enjoy finding new places. Skills or Expertise to Share: We do just about everything for ourselves, including household remodeling, auto repairs and gardening.Our experience with computers goes waaaay back.

Directions and communication was spot on. Sites were level and either shaded or unshaded, our choice. Host built a fire for all to sit around and share RV stories. Within 10 miles of downtown Topeka. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent stay at Hoot Alley. Plenty of space for any size rig. Wonderful hosts! We really enjoyed our time with them. Peaceful property. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit. Our host helped us with some car trouble and drove us into town for a new battery. Close to Topeka and Lawrence. We would definitely stay here again.
