We Stayed at Shumway Farms this summer and loved it. Cost us a lot in Ice cream. Our son Caleb cried the entire day when we left. He wanted to go back and live there.
Lol, I totally understand Caleb's desire to stay! We bought so much meat, ice cream and yogurt that I could barely squeeze it all in our rv fridge. It was all wonderful!
@@kristymichael We did the same, I think we did 3 trips into the store as we packed and had more room. It was good to have an out side fridge on our fifth wheel.
What’s not to like about a farm or ranch? I graduated from the University of Wyoming, my roommate for four years was a ranch kid, and I spend 3-4 weekends a month helping him help his folks in the ranch. In reference to the honor system store, my roomie’s folks never locked their doors! Shumway Farms and the farm and the brewery are on my list. Thanks! I should’a been a cowboy! 😉
We enjoyed camping at the Harvest Hosts locations: A Stroka Gene-Us Alpacas Farm, Stringer, MS and Chennault Aviation and Military Museum, Monroe, LA. Super nice hosts!
Hi Guys, Loved this video! We here in Australia really enjoying staying at what we call “station stays”! It is becoming increasingly popular and of course allows you to experience aspects of country life that we city dwellers infrequently get to experience. Our highlight was Wooleen Station (Ranch) in Western Australia! The owners are endeavouring to rehabilitate country that has suffered extensive damage through drought and overgrazing! They have used the tourist aspect to support this work which has been proceeding for more than a decade! As you found at the dairy farm they also had some wonderful dogs who would accompany you on the various walks and one in particular just wanted you to throw sticks. The stick would of course be returned ready for the next throw. Stay safe! R and J
Harvest Host seems to be a great program! Varied locales, salt-of-the-earth people, and an opportunity to get high quality consumables direct from the source. Love seeing my favorite channels' experiences and opinions of these businesses that open their doors to RVers! 😎👍
That's so cool that you stayed at Shumway farms! You're in Star Valley, Wy one of the most beautiful places to live or visit. Shumway farms is the best! Every time family or friends come to visit, we always take them to Shumway for some delicious ice cream and of course to see/pet the cows. 💗
Harvest Hosts is the best! I’ve stayed on several farms all over the country, not to mention some great wineries, breweries and distilleries. If you travel a lot, it’s more than worth it!
Was it great? Depending on events after the election, I'm planning to travel to CA, WA, and OR next. My first trip was AZ to FL to Maine, and everywhere in between and now making my way back to AZ for a home base check-in, and then hopefully on the road again! Will stay at Blue Heron if you recommend. :)
i remember a few years ago you did a video about how important it is that ( if you're touring as a couple ) both of you are comfortable driving the RV / towing the trailer .. pitching up at a brewery is surely a prime example of why this is a good idea
Thank you for highlighting a regenerative farm among the Harvest Hosts offerings. Melvin Brewing looks great too. If we ever get back out there with the RV, these suggestions look enticing.
My favorite HH is the Trolley Turner in Pueblo Colorado. Boris is an extraordinarily gifted wood turner and story teller. You will want to go home and start turning your own bowls by the end of your tour.
Afton WY is home of Aviat, manufacturers of the Husky and the Pitts Special aerobatic biplane. A few years ago I got an amazing tour of the factory, well worth it if you have any interest in aviation.
Being brought up on a dairy farm, sometimes the farm work MUST come first and visitors second. May be what the "jerks" experienced. When your at a business, you need to "just roll with it" if they don't wait on you exclusiv. They are letting you stay cheap. That smell you probably encountered was normal for a dairy farm.......love it. Wait till you get on one with an upright silo or bunker silo....ohhhh so good. I can tell you that your host probably didn't notice it. I believe Shumway Farms need to come up with a cologne, "ode de dairy cow".
I was an area manager for a pizza chain back in the day (80's 90"s). Our Afton Store was one of my favorite of the 9 stores i looked over. Such wonderful and friendly people in that area. I hope to make a trip there again in the future.
Great video. My family and I stumbled across the Shumway Farm about 2 months ago. The people there are fantastic and welcoming. They offer and RV spot even though we weren’t harvested host members. We stopped there because we saw their sign out front advertising raw milk and ice cream. Everything you mentioned about the farm is right on. My six year old daughter will never forget the dogs. Love that place.
Good video!! A milking machine? You have not lived until you have milked cows in January at 5 am, -20 to -30 F with the wind howling, by hand!! Oh Yeah!!! I'll have to stop at Melvin Brewing! Have you 2 been to Ten Sleep Brewing? They allow camping!! And there is a brewery within staggering distance!!!
Love, love, love Harvest Hosts. We use them all the time. The golf course businesses are our favorite. We were in Missouri last week at a car museum on route 66. Even though they were closed due to the pandemic, the business was nice. The hosts were very friendly when we called ahead to make the reservation. The parking was a little rough, but it was quiet except for a 2 times a day train. But all-in-all, our times at harvest host locations sites are awesome. Couldn't do without them 👍.
Nice looking farm. We stayed at Terry bison ranch in Cheyenne. Train rides,bison,horseback rides, bison,cafe, bison,playgrounds,bison,cabins,bison,gift shop,bison,FHU. Did I mention Bisons. Happy camping.
Raw milk from grass fed cows is amazing. I am lactose intolerant and never had a problem with raw milk from grass fed cows. Your mileage may vary. Let the cream come to the top and make stuff out of it.
Grass fed milk is the best. In Ecuador you see dairy cows running around on really steep hills and mountains like in Europe. Some brands of milk in Ecuador tasted better than standard organic in the U.S. I couldn't find milk in the U.S. that seemed to tast as good. But now that Organic Valley produces Grass Fed Milk it is very close.
I just purchased an RV and my Harvest Host membership . Pretty excited about both ! I hate that any of the Hosts have to tolerate rude unappreciative guests . I do hope the Kamping Karens don't ruin it for everyone else !
Great video we love love love harvest host we took our first long camping trip this summer,3 weeks. The best places we stayed were harvest hosts not only were the places interesting and amazing we met so many great people from all over the country, not just amazing hosts. I also bring goody bags or host gifts as thank yous to hosts as well as always purchasing something. One of our hosts in NY gave us a gift! Imagine we stay on their property ,as if that is not gift enough, they gave us a jar of their maple syrup. Life is great.
One of the joys of living close to the suburban-rural boundary is that there's a farmer nearby who sprays liquified cow poop on his farm periodically. Ah, the aroma of successful farming!
Since you're not too far from Southern Idaho, you should consider visiting sugar beet harvest. We have a handful of RVers that work the harvest season bringing in the beets. Perhaps some of your viewers might enjoy a video about "work camping". Just a thought. Safe travels! Always enjoy your videos.
You drove within 100 yards of my house on your way to the Shumway's. Good people. My kids went to high school with their's. That was also my next door neighbor's dump truck getting filled at Melvin's. Fun to see my corner of the world in your video.
Thank you, Sean, for enduring such the burden of sampling all those delicious craft beers..... in order to bring us viewers this content. You are a true saint for accepting such hardship. Thanks for 'taking one for the team' :-))
Stayed at Kaarys Farm thru Harvest House in Bellvue Idaho south of Ketchum Idaho, in mid August this year. It was an Organic Vegetable Farm, picked some vegetables in AM and free range chicken eggs host very nice and they had about 8 campers the night we were there.
If you haven't tried them yet, Texas also has some very good IPAs. If you get the opportunity, check out Lone Pint in Magnolia, or Spindle Tap in Houston, or Peticolas in Dallas. I recommend these highly. Thanks for this video.
We've been watching "full time" videos for several months now and really enjoy your channel! You seem to have figured out a balance with good content. It's interesting, informative, you don't try to be comedians, and you don't repeat yourselves constantly. Thank You! My wife and I are late 60's and long time RV owners and vacationers but are in a position now to spend some more extended time on the road. We will always have a home base but would like to spend multiple months on the road starting next spring. I keep a notebook when watching youtube and greatly appreciate your info on places to stay and info about each area you visit. I am also a former mechanic and your towing tech info is spot on. Keep up the good work! John A. Des Moines IA
First Harvest Host stay was in June at Nelson Family Farm (a Winery) Ukiah California, great people also new to harvest hosting. Found a lavender farm in George, Washington (state). Way more than paid our membership fee in 5 week visiting 5 states. Would recommend to anyone. Planning more trips real soon.
We from Idaho and currently in Arizona...we keep our eye out for you...checking the back of those Airstreams for your insignia...would be great to see you two...love your videos...LoLoHo
We LOVE Harvest Hosts and so glad you did this video about your experience! Our favorites so far are Bonair Winery, Zillah, WA; Bennett Vineyards, near Corvallis, OR; and Big Sky Brewing Co., Missoula, MT (especially easy off I-90).
Thanks for sharing the view of the app. I have been looking into joining because I'm fairly new to RV life and still trying to figure out how to go about things when it comes to all these different membership options.
I’d love to stay there a couple days! Critters to pet all day long and fresh, homemade ice cream! The brewery would be exceedingly convenient; after imbibing, just stumble out to your camper instead of driving.
That area between Afton and Alpine are some of my most favorite places... looking for a tiny chunk of no-restriction land there, going fast, and not as cheap as it used to be. Good to know about HH places around there. I'm not the type to park in an RV park, but usually just looking for a place to pull over for the night. (In that area, last time I was there a few months ago, I "camped" at the Continental Divide pass trucker pull-out, right at the high elevation sign :)). This was a refreshing video, I enjoyed it a lot.
Very appreciative of this one! We love breweries and wineries and have considered HH. If you're ever in PA, I'm pretty sure The Vinyard at Hershey, which is both a winery AND a brewery, is part of the program. It is gorgeous. It's right off the highway (283), too. We saw some folks obviously with HH setting up along their little pond and were very jealous of them.
I LOVE Harvest Host. If you guys are ever in Virginia - BE SURE to go to Swover Creek Farms in Edinburg, VA. And in Maine, Misty Acres Alpaca farm was fantastic! I was at both of these a few weeks ago, and both were fabulous. I've been (both new and full-time) RV'ing since August 2020 and have stayed at about 6 Harvest Hosts - all of them have been GREAT - but the two mentioned are must see in my opinion. :)
Been a HH members for 3 years. Last ones to get the lifetime membership. Never had a problem getting same day at wineries or breweries. They also have museums... The vacume cleaner museum in Idaho would be an odd one.... Scored a deal on wine is Idaho at a HH, $60.00 a Case for pretty good wine.... So far, not 1 bad experience!!! Wish they still offered lifetime membership... Before the rate increase, lifetime was $300.00...
Very cool in July and August I traveled from Florida to Seattle and back and when traveling through Kentucky I went to Casey Jones Distillery and they are a Harvest Host location. It was a very cool stop for me. This is not the Casey Jones Train Engineer type but an original family Moon Shine operation and now legal look it up.
Do you know if Harvest Hosts pay the hosts or do they only make money off the small purchases the rv’ers make. I only ask because I would want to be careful and not stay at a brewery if I don’t drink beer.
Fantastic. I would love this much more than a winery. While growing up we lived in the country surrounded by farms. Farm smell is not offensive to me. One question. I would assume not but are generators permitted? This time of year I would assume in Wy. you don't need to make that kind of noise.
Some hosts allow the use of generators and some don't. That information is usually listed within the app, but you can always ask to make sure. We didn't have a need for ours at these locations, but if it was mid summer in the deep south that would be a different story! 😁
Baby Girl is currently being spoiled rotten by my parents back home in Alabama! She does not enjoy cold weather so it's the best option for her with us traveling later in the season this year.
Did you happen to be in the Alpine area when the Mountain Maples were in full fall colors, awesome sight. Camping at a brewery definitely has some great side benefits.
This looks fabulous, thank you! When you are out to see Vinnie, head a bit south to Sonora and check out HH member Indigeny Reserve. Very tasty hard cider on a beautiful secluded ranch.
Am already a Harvest Host member. Didn't get to use it yet., but wish there were more locations along the N.East., Mass, Maine, N.H., VT., Ct., & R.I. But sadly there are not. Due to circumstances I do not get far from Eastern parts., but plan on stretching a little further out in 2021 with an earlier start. Was able to get out 4 times this 2020 season with my 23' AS trailer. I very much enjoy your broadcasts on everything in campin' from A to Z. Hope to try boondocking., maybe moochdocking in N.H. in the Spring as things may return to (normal). Dare I use that word. Have solar & 3400 wt inverter, so I feel I can manage quite easily. Thanx, CamperFrank
@@LongLongHoneymoon No problem - the video was over and I was trying to sneak in a reply to another poster late in the game. I wasn't surprised when I couldn't post.
I am so glad yall reviewed this. I have seen it, thought was a good idea, but was kinda apprehensive about it. I will be joining harvest hosts now though. Thanks yall. It should be elk burger time about now- check your mom and pop stores.
Great informative video, fist one I've seen on Harvest Host presented in this way. Looking forward to when we can join you and other doing this. Enjoy the road and stay safe.
❤️❤️❤️Harvest Host so hard to pick a favorite we have many. China Ranch Date Farm, on the way to Death Valley, Purple Haze in Sequim, Wa - not far from Olympic NP. Rio Seco Winery in Paso Robles, Ca. We have many videos about Harvest Hosts we’ve been members for 3 years 😊
I joined Harvest Host through your link today. I have heard of this program several times over the past couple of years and was planning on joining. I purchased my RV (1997 Holiday Rambler Vacationer) just last week. I have been staying in it with the pets for about 5 days now (in my driveway) getting the last few things settled and waiting for a few items to be delivered before heading out for my first trip. I checked the HH maps and there are several in my area and was thinking of a trip just staying at the host's locations. I don't know for sure but seems like a good idea right now.
That is awesome guys I really think this would be an awesome chance to enjoy that off beaten path that you talked about. What a great way to spend time Outdoors instead of in a crowded area like you said. I can't wait to get on our first adventure to one of those. We will be joining through your site to help you guys as well
Nice episode guys. HH is the bomb! Seeing rural America is a fun experience. I recommend the GOLF option for $20, even if you don't golf, like us. Most golf locations have a good restaurant you can patronize for breakfast, and there are golf club locations everywhere. It adds to the options for cheap boondocking in towns all over. Sean, I laughed at the NY City dig you made about NY ethics and honesty. Good one, very subtle.
@@LongLongHoneymoon Sentinel Ranch Alpacas, Sales Rd, Belgrade, MT. We stayed there overnight in September 2019. Marvelous hosts, beautiful spot, fun to feed the baby alpacas. Lots of beautiful items made from alpaca fiber in their shop.
We joined Harvest Hosts and will be spending our first night next week at Lost Maples Winery near Utopia, Texas. I had seen info on the program and your recommendation convinced us to join. We are newbies to RV camping and bought our 22’ Bambi in July. From watching your videos, we were very prepared before we even took possession. We especially loved the weird tools video. If you are back up in the park area, you might try a Harvest Host in Driggs, Idaho, The Grand Teton Distillery. They make some mighty fine vodka there. Driggs is also our summer base when we want to escape the Texas heat. Let us know if you are in the area next summer.
Thanks Elizabeth, we love that area! We almost went to the distillery too. Maybe next year! We would love to make Idaho our summer bases as well. My dream is to build an RV parking pad with a small carriage house in that region.... Driggs, Victor, or Idaho Falls...
We Stayed at Shumway Farms this summer and loved it. Cost us a lot in Ice cream. Our son Caleb cried the entire day when we left. He wanted to go back and live there.
Lol, I totally understand Caleb's desire to stay! We bought so much meat, ice cream and yogurt that I could barely squeeze it all in our rv fridge. It was all wonderful!
@@kristymichael We did the same, I think we did 3 trips into the store as we packed and had more room. It was good to have an out side fridge on our fifth wheel.
These folks are the backbone of this country God bless them .
What’s not to like about a farm or ranch? I graduated from the University of Wyoming, my roommate for four years was a ranch kid, and I spend 3-4 weekends a month helping him help his folks in the ranch. In reference to the honor system store, my roomie’s folks never locked their doors! Shumway Farms and the farm and the brewery are on my list. Thanks! I should’a been a cowboy! 😉
Well said “don’t be a jerk”
such a simple concept...
yet some have yet to grasp it
:-)
Buy some jerky instead.
@@Roobah you made me chuckle; beautiful.
We enjoyed camping at the Harvest Hosts locations: A Stroka Gene-Us Alpacas Farm, Stringer, MS and Chennault Aviation and Military Museum, Monroe, LA. Super nice hosts!
Hi Guys,
Loved this video! We here in Australia really enjoying staying at what we call “station stays”! It is becoming increasingly popular and of course allows you to experience aspects of country life that we city dwellers infrequently get to experience. Our highlight was Wooleen Station (Ranch) in Western Australia! The owners are endeavouring to rehabilitate country that has suffered extensive damage through drought and overgrazing! They have used the tourist aspect to support this work which has been proceeding for more than a decade! As you found at the dairy farm they also had some wonderful dogs who would accompany you on the various walks and one in particular just wanted you to throw sticks. The stick would of course be returned ready for the next throw. Stay safe! R and J
Thanks R & J! Can't wait to visit Australia! Maybe next year...
Harvest Host seems to be a great program! Varied locales, salt-of-the-earth people, and an opportunity to get high quality consumables direct from the source. Love seeing my favorite channels' experiences and opinions of these businesses that open their doors to RVers! 😎👍

Thank you for highlighting a regenerative farm among the Harvest Hosts offerings. Melvin Brewing looks great too. If we ever get back out there with the RV, these suggestions look enticing.

Mike and Erin @ Our Wyoming Life are Harvest Hosts near Cody. Mike and Sean would most likely change UA-cam forever!
If you go through Pocatello ID our first HH stay was at the museum of clean. Yep. Everything about vacuum cleaners. Worth a stop for sure.
Thank you for that info! I almost went there a couple years ago and was wondering. I'm a sucker for
Quirky museums and roadside attractions.
Hey loloho I was in Yellowstone two weeks ago and everytime I saw an airstream I was hoping it was your’s hope y’all have a great time over there:)
Thanks Martin, sorry we missed you!

The vacume cleaner museum in Idaho would be an odd one....
Scored a deal on wine is Idaho at a HH, $60.00 a Case for pretty good wine....
So far, not 1 bad experience!!!
Wish they still offered lifetime membership...
Before the rate increase, lifetime was $300.00...
Very cool in July and August I traveled from Florida to Seattle and back and when traveling through Kentucky I went to Casey Jones Distillery and they are a Harvest Host location. It was a very cool stop for me. This is not the Casey Jones Train Engineer type but an original family Moon Shine operation and now legal look it up.
Harvest Hosts seems like a great way to advance the sport of RV'ing.
It seems pretty great. We will post more as we go.
I love that you called RV'ing a sport!
@@AndrewEllisAndymanout I can't take credit for it, as I am quoting someone else who I can't recall at this time. It may have been Loloho!
Do you know if Harvest Hosts pay the hosts or do they only make money off the small purchases the rv’ers make. I only ask because I would want to be careful and not stay at a brewery if I don’t drink beer.
Great! Love that concept of harvest host and the farm!
And the food and drink 🍺
Way better than artificial experiences like Disney 😉
On your way back east, Pappa Moon Winery in western Nebraska was an amazing HH stay. Also Macs Creek Winery and Brewery was great too.

You guys are great. We always enjoy your videos. When we get on the road, I hope we cross paths somewhere.
Fantastic. I would love this much more than a winery. While growing up we lived in the country surrounded by farms. Farm smell is not offensive to me. One question. I would assume not but are generators permitted? This time of year I would assume in Wy. you don't need to make that kind of noise.
Some hosts allow the use of generators and some don't. That information is usually listed within the app, but you can always ask to make sure. We didn't have a need for ours at these locations, but if it was mid summer in the deep south that would be a different story! 😁
Saw your truck and Airstream in Sam's Club parking lot, Idaho Falls, ID today, Oct. 13th. Took a picture!! You guy are, like, FAMOUS.
Been with Harvest Host for two years , watch out for those 🐄 patties when I was younger we live ed on a dairy farm stay safe
Is your little dog still with you? Love your seasoned advice on all things re. camping. Thank you.
Baby Girl is currently being spoiled rotten by my parents back home in Alabama! She does not enjoy cold weather so it's the best option for her with us traveling later in the season this year.
Did you happen to be in the Alpine area when the Mountain Maples were in full fall colors, awesome sight. Camping at a brewery definitely has some great side benefits.
We could not camp long trips without the cost saving harvest host gives us..and we meet a lot of nice people some host let us unhook which is nice
This looks fabulous, thank you! When you are out to see Vinnie, head a bit south to Sonora and check out HH member Indigeny Reserve. Very tasty hard cider on a beautiful secluded ranch.
Am already a Harvest Host member. Didn't get to use it yet., but wish there were more locations along the N.East., Mass, Maine, N.H., VT., Ct., & R.I. But sadly there are not. Due to circumstances I do not get far from Eastern parts., but plan on stretching a little further out in 2021 with an earlier start. Was able to get out 4 times this 2020 season with my 23' AS trailer. I very much enjoy your broadcasts on everything in campin' from A to Z. Hope to try boondocking., maybe moochdocking in N.H. in the Spring as things may return to (normal). Dare I use that word. Have solar & 3400 wt inverter, so I feel I can manage quite easily. Thanx, CamperFrank
For Richard, because the chat just shut down as I was trying to post this - the caramel apple pie was at Verger Belliveau Orchard in Memramcook NB.
Thanks Jim, I don't know what happened with chat. It got shut down for me as well!
@@LongLongHoneymoon No problem - the video was over and I was trying to sneak in a reply to another poster late in the game. I wasn't surprised when I couldn't post.
I was very excited about finally meeting you guys in the Tetons. I love following your videos and wish you safe travels.
It was a pleasure. We look forward to our next meetup! We are in Utah now but headed towards Nevada tomorrow. Safe travels!
I am so glad yall reviewed this. I have seen it, thought was a good idea, but was kinda apprehensive about it. I will be joining harvest hosts now though. Thanks yall. It should be elk burger time about now- check your mom and pop stores.
Joined Harvest Host this year we have only stayed once so far but hope to do more stop-overs next summer!
Great talk - thanks for sharing
Great informative video, fist one I've seen on Harvest Host presented in this way. Looking forward to when we can join you and other doing this. Enjoy the road and stay safe.
Wyoming is such a beautiful state. I hope to move there in the future.
❤️❤️❤️Harvest Host so hard to pick a favorite we have many. China Ranch Date Farm, on the way to Death Valley, Purple Haze in Sequim, Wa - not far from Olympic NP. Rio Seco Winery in Paso Robles, Ca.
We have many videos about Harvest Hosts we’ve been members for 3 years 😊
That looks amazing, I hope there are many more like this all over the country...
Your commenters are both friendly and knowledgeable. I usually read the first five or so but I drilled waaay down here. Lot of good stuff.
Yes, we are lucky to have a great community!
I joined Harvest Host through your link today. I have heard of this program several times over the past couple of years and was planning on joining. I purchased my RV (1997 Holiday Rambler Vacationer) just last week. I have been staying in it with the pets for about 5 days now (in my driveway) getting the last few things settled and waiting for a few items to be delivered before heading out for my first trip. I checked the HH maps and there are several in my area and was thinking of a trip just staying at the host's locations. I don't know for sure but seems like a good idea right now.
That's awesome! And thanks for using our link! I think you're going to enjoy it 👍🏻🤙🏻
Wow! How cool... it reminds me of being home......
Great video Loloho!!
Love those Aussie kelpie dogs.
Sean, I knew there was something we had in common beside RV living. I’m an IPA guy too. Thanks for giving us great Harvest Host suggestions.
That is awesome guys I really think this would be an awesome chance to enjoy that off beaten path that you talked about. What a great way to spend time Outdoors instead of in a crowded area like you said. I can't wait to get on our first adventure to one of those. We will be joining through your site to help you guys as well
Kramer Vineyard in Gaston OR... Very good wine and nice people too!
You guys are my favorite RV you tubers. Wish I had a co-pilot. I’d hit the road tomorrow
Thanks Gregory! Hope we have some fun travels to share this year. Cheers!
Looks like a amazing experience
Thank you! Loved this episode!
Nice episode guys. HH is the bomb! Seeing rural America is a fun experience. I recommend the GOLF option for $20, even if you don't golf, like us. Most golf locations have a good restaurant you can patronize for breakfast, and there are golf club locations everywhere. It adds to the options for cheap boondocking in towns all over. Sean, I laughed at the NY City dig you made about NY ethics and honesty. Good one, very subtle.
It works in Wyoming!
Did you check out periodic spring just outside of Afton, WY? Also, as far as harvest host, we enjoyed an alpaca farm just outside of Bozeman, MT.
We will look for the spring. Thanks for the Montana tip!
@@LongLongHoneymoon Sentinel Ranch Alpacas, Sales Rd, Belgrade, MT. We stayed there overnight in September 2019. Marvelous hosts, beautiful spot, fun to feed the baby alpacas. Lots of beautiful items made from alpaca fiber in their shop.
We were at periodic springs last month such a cool spot!
We joined Harvest Hosts and will be spending our first night next week at Lost Maples Winery near Utopia, Texas. I had seen info on the program and your recommendation convinced us to join. We are newbies to RV camping and bought our 22’ Bambi in July. From watching your videos, we were very prepared before we even took possession. We especially loved the weird tools video. If you are back up in the park area, you might try a Harvest Host in Driggs, Idaho, The Grand Teton Distillery. They make some mighty fine vodka there. Driggs is also our summer base when we want to escape the Texas heat. Let us know if you are in the area next summer.
Thanks Elizabeth, we love that area! We almost went to the distillery too. Maybe next year! We would love to make Idaho our summer bases as well. My dream is to build an RV parking pad with a small carriage house in that region.... Driggs, Victor, or Idaho Falls...
