Jill and Thayer, from Washington State, traveling about in a Rialta RV, looking for adventure!
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
In 2013-14 we spent a year on the road and it was the trip of a lifetime (travel.jillandthayer.net), ...though we plan to do lots more! Some of our best times were when we stayed with Boondockers! I tallied up how many nights over the course of the year that we were hosted and it came to 56 nights! Retiring soon so we are hoping for more time on the road.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Thayer can fix virtually anything, on a vehicle, bicycle or computer. I can make cookies and pick raspberries in the summer.

Favorite Boondocking Locations
We've stayed in some interesting places, parking lots of National Park hotels, random neighborhoods in small towns, national and state forests, Walmart.... A very favorite spot was off of the Burr Road in Southern Utah, surrounded by towering cliffs of sandstone and prime redrock desert. Favorites from our year on the road include many places on the Great Lakes, Maritime Canada and New Mexico. Check out our blog/book at http://jillandthayer.net to see some of our favorites.
jstewart57's Hometown
Bothell, Washington, a quiet but growing suburb of Seattle. Located about 15 miles north of the big city.

Lovely couple
We enjoyed meeting this couple and having them stay with us. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well so really didn't get to spend too much time with them. They were great boondockers, quiet and respectful of our property. They are welcome back any time.

Had a great time!
Fun visit with Jill and Thayer! Swapped some funny stories around the campfire. They were awesome guests, very pleasant and respectful. Hope they can get back this way someday. They're welcome anytime! My grandchildren were sad to see them leave.

We had a great time with you
We had such a good time with Jill and Thayer. They are amazing hosts. They helped us with backing in their spot and get our RV leveled. We also had nice talking with them and they took us out to show what Helloween is like in the US. If we are in this area again one day, we would definitely stay with them again. Stefan & Rebecca.

Wonderful people
Our host welcomed us into their home and we immediately felt like family. We really enjoyed spending time with them, our personalities meshed quite well. They are a dynamic couple where generosity comes easy and freely, sharing their talents and experiences, offering much more than we expected. The location is nicely situated close to Seattle. We hope to keep in touch and see them again here or on the road sometime. Another great experience with Boondockers Welcome!

Prefect for Seattle
We had a warm welkome and a fine conversation about a lot of things. Although along the street we slept very well. Also the Information about the dump-station at the rest area worked out fine.
Brought back our RV and went to airport/carhire by bus and light rail.
Thanks

Fantastic
This couple has been very welcoming and generous to me especially since I had a major issue with my camper and they went out of their way in assisting me to remedy the situation. I shall be forever grateful and highly recommend them as a host location.

Fantastic!
What a great time I had at this place!!! Met one of my former BD hosts & partner too, who came through town and stayed at this location, so that was a nice surprise! Great and long talks, good humor and a nice dinner and they helped me out fixing some technical issues with my roof vent too. By far one of the best experiences I had on BD and proof how amazing this website and the community is! I very much hope to come back one day or meet somewhere on the road. SAFE travels! :-)

Great time with friends old and new.
A wonderful stay with these terrific folks at their comfortable location near Seattle. Jil is active with the Sailing Club on Lake Washington and we spent a lovely afternoon sharing time there with Jil. A fun surprise when a prior guest at my home site arrived and we all enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner at our host’s home. Great camaraderie and a good time had by all.

Great hospitality!
Jill and Thayer were great! They were so kind and generous - they stayed up late to greet us as we came in at nearly 10 p.m. at night. They helped us to level our RV and even offered electrical hookup as well as invited us in. We will definitely go back again.

Helpful and knowledgeable
We had such a nice stay and the hosts made us feel really welcome. They had wonderful suggestions about how to make the most of our stay. You park close to the street, but it is not heavily traveled. We slept great!

Great hosts!
Such a nice couple helping us get set up with enough leveling blocks and providing water and electric. We enjoyed a dinner and sharing our blogs with each other. They allowed us to leave our trailer there while visiting my brother in Seattle, which was a huge help. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Jill and Thayer are fantastic hosts -- so friendly and hospitable. They welcomed us with open arms and even taught our one-year-old to walk :) Definitely look Jill and Thayer up if you're in the Seattle area!
