This is my second time staying with my host and once again it was a very peaceful stay! The first time I stayed it rained quite a bit and I didn't get to see much of the area, but this time I got a chance to ride quite a bit of the East Coast Greenway Trail which is not far from their house. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay once again!

Before I even arrived, my hosts were very nice and provided information. When I arrived, we talked a bit about boondocking, RVs and their set up. Right now they have 2 options and are working on a third! It is so nice of them to set up their driveway and yard the way they have to accommodate RVs and to host people. I originally meant to get in some bike rides, but realized what I needed more than anything was some overdue rest and time off my bike. I was in a nice shady spot and the rain brought some nice breezes to cool the days down. I am grateful for the hospital and welcome I received and am grateful for them hosting me because I would not be able to do this adventure without hosts like them! Thank you very much!
