Availability
Since I travel a fair amount myself - it is available whenever I'm here. However, there may be some possibilities even when I'm on the road. That determination can be made on individual requests. When I'm here, weekdays, weekends and holidays are all fair game. Send a request to check on availability.

Sound nights sleep
It was a pleasure to meet Professional Nomad, and the owner of the property RedRachett (also has her place listed on BW). She made us amazing apple dumplings and homemade soap. PN was very interesting to talk to.
Overall a great nights sleep and rest. 🙂

Right on our route home!
Our host was away but his friend welcomed us. She and I chatted a few hours and had a great visit. I have a new friend!

Convenient place...
If you happen to be passing by Keyser, WV this a great place to stay.
Good conversations, electric hook-up and a very quiet evening.

Good talk
Host and I did not run out of major world issues to analyze with insight.
Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

We felt most welcome
We were guests of Professional Nomad for one night. We were made to feel very welcome and that was much appreciated. And althought it was a short visit it was such a nice visit. Actually I ran into PN a the local Walmart just a bit after i came into town. What a surprise that was! He's good at putting 2 and 2 together :) I was only in Keyser for a short time but boondocking at this site worked out very well. Thank you so much to PN. If we come down again I'll be sure to contact PN again.

A big thank you to nomad.
Upon arriving, we engaged in a long conversation where I learned a lot about him, his past and great future plans - a real kind, generous host.
