Family Time Under the Stars
Travelers: Mom, girls 4, 11, & 14 yr olds, and dog. We had a great time and loved it!
The Older girls brought out the comfy tri-fold bed from the skoolie and slept in a requesed tent while the rest of us enjoyed the warmth of the heater and bed inside. The pillows, sheets and extra blankets were provided. The girls used sleeping bags in the tent.
Occasionally the winds would pick up so plan for that.
Extra lanterns and headlamps are useful to have.
The bathroom situation took a minute to get used to but it does come with an amazing view if you open the rear door. No pun intended. Billimarie came by to do a mid-stay clean-out. Very much appreciated.
I brought my 2 burner camp stove because cooking outside is just better in my humble opinion but the burner inside the skoolie was very useful as well (winds). She has a charcoal grill.
I requested the metal firepit as an add-on but we ended up digging our own firepit which was way better.
Each morning we fed the sweet chickens, who let us pet them gently.
On our 4th and last morning a trio pack of friendly dog strays came for a visit. Sadly, they didn't stay long enough to be rescued, let alone fed.
Billimarie is a gracious hostess and very willing to make one's stay comfortable and more enjoyable. Her mission to share this experience and be an example of the reuse and repurpose of resources is admirable. She is a lovely teacher who inspires.
The crew and I didn't want to leave.
We're already making plans to go back.
