Experimental aircraft enthusiast and Monarch butterfly garden host Details: Jon teaches how to build experimental airplanes. Ramelle retired from journalism and works part-time at a nearby state park. We live on a small grass airstrip in beautiful southern Door County. Jon is a pilot, owner of Homebuilt Help, and columnist for Kitplanes magazine. We enjoy traveling in our 2014 Winnebago. Home Town: Jon is originally from Illinois. Ramelle is a homegrown Wisconsin girl. We live in rural Brussels, Wisconsin. Favorite Boondocking Locations: We have been boondocking in Florida, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and pretty much any Cracker Barrel or Walmart parking lot that will have us. Skills or Expertise to Share: Sport aircraft is Jon's expertise. He is also a ham radio operator. Ramelle works at Potawatomi State Park and volunteers at the local hospital. We have had our Covid vaccinations and although it is not a RULE, we would hope those traveling and visiting would likewise have had their shots.

A lovely retreat and gracious hosts. The property has a butterfly garden that I was able to explore. I was provided a travel guide that helped me explore the area and homemade blueberry cider cake!!

Quiet location on a country road, Jon was very welcoming and friendly, level spot with super easy access. I had great conversation with Jon on everything from building airplanes to solar options for RV's. Unfortunately I did not meet Ramelle but that was my fault - I spent the days on long hikes so when I came back to my rig I was exhausted and just crashed. Oops probably shouldn't say that in case a pilot might read this! I recommend this host without hesitation.

We had a great stay. Super nice hosts and we loved the inquisitive cats. We parked on a large level area in front of the plane hanger. He has a very interesting hobby of building ultra-light aircraft. This is a convenient spot to explore Strugeon Bay from. We highly recommend Plane Door County and would glady return.
