Another great stay!
This is my second time staying with my host and once again it was a very peaceful stay! The first time I stayed it rained quite a bit and I didn't get to see much of the area, but this time I got a chance to ride quite a bit of the East Coast Greenway Trail which is not far from their house.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay once again!

Great stay in a nice, peaceful setting!
Before I even arrived, my hosts were very nice and provided information. When I arrived, we talked a bit about boondocking, RVs and their set up. Right now they have 2 options and are working on a third! It is so nice of them to set up their driveway and yard the way they have to accommodate RVs and to host people.
I originally meant to get in some bike rides, but realized what I needed more than anything was some overdue rest and time off my bike. I was in a nice shady spot and the rain brought some nice breezes to cool the days down.
I am grateful for the hospital and welcome I received and am grateful for them hosting me because I would not be able to do this adventure without hosts like them!
Thank you very much!

Nice spot and nice hosts!
Hosts are very welcoming and helpful, and the peaceful spots border the woods but not far from town and a lovely park. Will definitely go again!

Red Barns- Foliage- Fall in CT
We spent nice quiet nites in CT, away from the crowds, yet close to the places we needed to visit. We arrived in huge Thunderstorms & unfortunately had many during our stay & ended that way too! Our hosts had just returned from hiking the AT, we had some brief conversations, but would have loved to have visited longer to share more travel stories. We hope to meet again someday! Great place & Great Hosts!

Great stay!
Lovely Boondocking spot with plenty of things to do in the area. I know I’ll be coming back to area and would definitely stay here again with the hopes of hearing more of the fun adventures that Wingerstoo have enjoyed! Safe travels and AT hiking until then.
