Harvest Host

 We never can seem to leave early. Today we left around 10. The earliest so far. We needed to find a dumping station and there was one about a half hour away. This was our first time having to do it so we were a little apprehensive. We pulled up to the office in this large rv park and after Christine told the owner our story, he sent someone out to show us how to do it and gave Christine a bag of m&ms cause he felt bad! We couldn’t believe how simple it was! A load off our minds! One more thing checked off the list!

We were headed to our next Harvest Host in South Carolina about 3 hours away. Of course it took us longer! But we got to see some amazing back country on our way. Usually shooting down 95, there is not much to see. But leave that expressway and there is so much more! Cathi’s Farm in Lillington, NC was one of those places. A huge chicken farm. We stretched our legs and walked about 2 miles checking everything out with it’s beehives and cattle. Farmers these days have to do so much to keep their farms working. Selling honey and jams, specialty food and yarn among other things.This farm had an amazing Christmas light show for the locals. It is a big event and this farmer was putting it all up himself. There were tractor rides and games kids could play all over the place! This guy worked way past dark.

Since we were boondocking for the first time, we were a little nervous, but we had plenty of water and propane so we knew we would be alright. It’s really amazing how good we have been sleeping every night. We are so dog dead tired at the end of the day we look forward to bedtime! There always seems to be something to do! And the driving can be stressful!
