    Parked on the grass in back of the antique (1800 something) farmhouse. Brandon and Jenny were friendly, helpful folks. Spend a very quiet night with only the sow (Lulu), chickens and corn to keep us company.

    He is sweet and treated us like family. Large yard and toys for our four children to play with. Large shade tree covered our camper and vehicle and was pleasent to relax under.

    What a great relaxing overnight. Super patient communication so we connected at the best spot to drive-in. Waved me on and I parked in a lovely green mowed field. The corn next door was so high, I parked so I was shaded by it. Perfect solo traveler spot. It felt so much safer than your standard campground. Heard turkey and an owl and the chirpy sand pipers hopped about looking for dinner on the other side of the field. This is what boondocking is all about!
