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.

Great stay for a couple of nights. Easy off the highway, large parking lot, lots of room. Pastor Dave came out to meet us, gave us lots of suggestions for trails, restaurants. Downtown Joliet was easy to get to with both Uber and the bus. We were parked right along the woods, very sheltered as there were nasty winds. Would definitely stay again.

This was a great overnight stop in an area where we have had difficulty finding a good location to stay. Very easy in & out, no issues with any size trailer, good surface and close to I-80. We were warmly greeted and had a chance to meet the pastor to thank him for the chance to stay. The lot is hilly, so be aware but we were able to level & unhitch to fuel up.
