Harvest Hosts Review – Louisburg Cider Mill – MOO-ville Creamery

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, RV Living .

This is our review of Harvest Hosts.

Harvest Hosts is a membership program that allows people traveling in an RV to have a safe place to stop overnight without having a high cost to simply park. Although the overnight stay is generally free, there are no hookups. This means no electricity, no water, and no sewer. It is a common courtesy to purchase something from the business to say thanks for their kindness but it is not required.

Harvest Hosts currently has over 1500 hosts that include wineries, breweries, farms, museums and more. This videos shows 2 locations that we stayed at as a way to demonstrate the types of places you can expect to see.

Scavenger Hunt at Gardner Village

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized .

While we were in the Salt Lake City area, we met with one of Mom’s friends at the Gardner Village Shopping Mall. The friend had printed scavenger hunt forms (from Gardner Village’s website) for each of the kids. It was fun trying to find the answers. Each completed scavenger hunt form could be turned in for a free piece of salt water taffy. It was delicious.

REVIEW Lost Horse Corridor Camping

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, Campgrounds .

We were lucky to find this great spot to boondock. Although it is technically a campground, there were no hookups of any kind. There was not a trash can anywhere. Truly a place to PACK IT IN – PACK IT OUT.

We were on the end near the bridge which had a great spot to get into the cold water in August. Mom’s leg was still in bad shape and she did not go down to the water.

We had no cell signal here but was able to pick up a usable signal with our weBoost 4G Signal Booster. We highly recommend using one of these if staying connected is important to you. Here is link to Amazon where you can get one.

REVIEW Newton Creek Campground near Yellowstone

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, Campgrounds .

Newton Creek Campground is located in the Shoshone Nation Forest and was a great place to stay while visiting Yellowstone National Park especially when you can’t get into a campground in Yellowstone due to capacity or RV size.

This campground is about 15 miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park and 37 miles from Cody, Wyoming. The campground was very empty during the week but filled up on the weekend.

The campground is a very relaxing place nestled along the North Fork Shoshone River. It has a few access point to the river where the water is not very deep and is safe to play.

Garden Creek Falls is gorgeous waterfall at the base of Casper Mountain.

We enjoyed it because you can walk right up to it and get in the water that is falling. Watch the video to see what Dad did.

REVIEW Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant – Casper Wyoming

Posted on by Posted in Restaurant Reviews .

We were visiting family in Casper, Wyoming and decided to try this Mexican restaurant. It was near closing time and my nephew was delayed coming from the airport. The staff was very accommodating as he got the right at closing time.

We still had a great meal and enjoyed ourselves without feeling rushed. The food was pretty good and the serving sizes were a nice size compared to the price.

We would be pleased to visit Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant again the next time we are in Casper, Wyoming.
