I'm a Pastor, a Patriot and I enjoy RVing and Motorcycling. Details: I'm a Husband, a father and a pastor. While I was born in MI my family jokes that I'm a native Floridian. I'd love it if God called me to serve in FL or TN someday but I'm confidant that I'm currently serving where He has called. When I'm done with my current call I'd love to travel the country in my RV serving churches as an interim pastor, pulpit fill or even plant a church at a camp ground someday. Home Town: My home town is Sterling Hgts. MI. I'm a missionary currently ministering to the peoples of Illinois in the Chicago land area. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Don't know yet Skills or Expertise to Share: I'm a chef as well as a pastor.

enjoyed our stay here ! decently level along the back where the grass area is which was nice for our dogs. we left early due to snow but it was a nice place to stay the night and close to the highway for travel. would stay here again and appreciate the safe spot to lay our heads down at night

Our HH stay on Thanksgiving Eve was such a blessing. Loved the church, the pastor, the songs and the parking space. Forest edge and quiet made it a good sleep. Felt safe.

We pulled in at dark which was super easy to do. There’s garbages/recycling. Great communication. overall easy and would stay again.
