We arrived and quickly got set up. (& deposited the electricity $) So easy. They have a beautiful place. Mr. Milligan had told us that they would not be home on the day we requested, but encouraged us to use his place anyway. We met his neighbor,Basil,as he was finishing mowing the yard and field. Had a nice chat. He even offered us some gala apples. What fun to pick a few. We're sorry we didn't get a chance to meet them, but hope they are enjoying and relaxing a bit on your travels . We'll leave in the morning; we'll rested and ready to travel on again. Thank you again for sharing your space and may your travels be safe with just a bit of adventure. Martha and Barry Barnes
