Love to be on the move.
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
I got my RV in March of 2014. In the first year I put nearly 30,000 miles on, and I am still loving it!
I love the idea of being able to travel and change my schedule without too much effort. And that if I find a great place to visit, I can take a detour and go there.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Digital editing, web design, IT/Networking. - those are the things I have done for money. (professionally)
I have also raised and milked goats, made goat milk soap, and am currently spending as much time as possible sailing my 48 foot sail boat in San Francisco Bay.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
I am always looking for new favorite places.
Right now my favorite for boondocking is a BLM site along the Columbia River near the Dalles.

StormRunner's Rig
2014.5 (yes, they made a half year model upgrade) Airstream Interstate. Yes, Airstream actually makes a self-propelled model! I got it in March of 2014 and as of March 2017 I have over 60,000 miles on it. My goal is to see those amazing places that I have never seen, and find some of those neat places that aren't so well known along the way. So far I have checked Little Big Horn, Devil's Tower, Crazy Horse, and Yellowstone Park (where we even saw a mama bear and her cubs) off the list! Crater Lake, Yosemite, the Redwood Forest (multiple times), Death Valley (in June no less...) and Joshua Tree park. The list continues to grow. I call my rig the StormRunner, in honor of my dog, Storm. Though, I am wondering if that was a poor choice, since in the first 3 months my travels took me through a wind/dust storm with 50 mph winds, and dust so thick that it disabled most of my sensors (the dash was going crazy), and a thunder/lightning/hail storm, again with 50 mph winds, at least this one was in a place where I could pull over and get under an overpass. Storm does not travel with me these days.

Fun guest
We enjoyed hosting StormRunner and the lively conversations that ensued. We'd be happy to see her again, as our driveway guest or as our host, should we find ourselves in her part of the American West.
Glamper Gwen
Very thoughtful
Here is a wonderful lady that brought me ice cream since I broke my ankle and can't get to the store. She was very interesting and compassionate. She has some great tales to tell. She is on her way down the road and hope she'll be back for another visit one day. She is always welcome. And I should be finished up with Physical therapy and back out on the road.

Perfect Guest!
Had Wendy and her gorgeous dog, Storm, spend the night at our place. They were both perfect guests!! Really enjoyed meeting Wendy and we had a great visit. Storm is friendly and well-behaved. They're both welcome back anytime they're in our area - we'd love to have them again!

Fantastic stay
We had a great time staying with Wendy. She is a very interesting and fun person. We felt like we were actually staying with family because that is the way she makes you feel. Highly recommend her as a place to stay for a short term visit to the area. Very informative on things in the area. Fantastic lady, highly recommend her as a boondocker stopover.

Great short walk to the beach
This is a wonderful spot so close to the ocean you can hear the waves. And the sunset! Spectacular! All this and a very welcoming host - a perfect visit.

Stunning Location just outside Glacier National Park
Great location to use as a base to explore Glacier National Park! We stayed for a few days and got to explore the park as well as Columbia Falls. It was such a relaxing and quiet place for us to take a break and catch up with planning during the few days of rain we had. The rain we had was snow in the park and looked beautiful with a line of snow covering the tops of the mountains. Would love to stay here again with better weather to explore Glacier more but who knows maybe in the future!

Amazing Montana Hospitality
As our first boondocking experience, we had the joy of meeting an awesome and most accommodating host, StormRunner! We enjoyed getting to know her and experiencing the warm and friendly Montana hospitality. She provided a beautiful campsite with 30 amp hookup and the best tasting well water ever. Her property backs up to the mountains and has a gorgeous creek running through it. Within 5 minutes of the property is a gas station with a RV dump. Her property is a few minutes from the charming town of Columbia Falls. In town, across from the grocery store is a really nice and clean laundry mat. I won't go into details but StormRunner went way above and beyond in helping us out with some travel emergencies. We would highly recommend StormRunner and would definitely stay there again. We could never thank her enough!

Quiet and beautiful
We enjoyed two days boondocking at Stormrunner's ranch and are grateful she was in town. We met Storm and Ellie, Belgian shepherds who are friendly and curious. Had a great hike on the hills above the ranch. We dried our hand washed laundry in the warm sun. A delightful respite in our travels.

Second time staying with Stormrunner
We were fortunate to stay with Stormrunner again this year. Her place is very secure and we always feel welcome. Location not too far from Glacier National Park. I can highly recommend this location.
Miss Prim
Very gracious host!
We really enjoyed staying with Stormrunner on her property. We had a nice chat on the front porch of her cute log cabin, after we got settled in. She was nice enough to let us stay, even though she was getting ready for her own trip. We had just visited Glacier national park and it was nice not to have to drive too far for a place to stay. Thanks again, Stormrunner for your hospitality and please come visit us in Michigan on your travels!

Nice and quite
Even with our late arrival she was still there to meet us. Her place was perfect for our truck and camper.

Nice place to stay
We stayed two nights here, and had a great stay. Easy ride to both Glacier and the towns of whitefish/kalispell/etc. It is nice and quiet there and it wasn't hard to find. Would recommend this place to others! Thanks again for having us!

Great Host and Quiet Area
The host was very gracious and fun to be around. She went above and beyond, cooking us dinner one night and inviting us for a game of pool as well. The property is great and we were greeted by friendly goats and excited pups! We stayed with her during our visit to Glacier National Park, which is not too far from her property. We had a great time exploring the area and having a safe place to come back to at night! Thanks StormRunner! :)

Great spot, great host!
Traveling from Jasper and Banff in Canada, to Glacier National Park, on to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, this spot was perfectly located, and provided the things I needed: quiet, water, electric, and a pooch to love on. The host is friendly, flexible and generous, and very welcoming. I stayed through a storm and was comfortable. Highly recommended!
On the Farm
Could not have been more accomodating!
Wendy did all she could to make sure we had a wonderful night at her lovely home. From being greeted by her friendly goats to providing us with more than we needed - StormRunner is a 5 star host.

Great host, great spot
I loved parking here. The lot was very private, yet was close to the beach. Wendy was very informative and I'd stay here again in a hot second. Thanks again Wendy!!

Wonderful Stay
We stayed with Stormrunner during our visit to Glacier National Park. The location is private, secure, and lovely. Storm runner was a gracious host along with Storm, the search dog. I only have positive compliments for this host.

Best Host Ever
Dinner, wine, good conversation, quiet surroundings, plus use of indoor plumbing. Who could ask for more? We had a great visit and hope to see StormRunner again.
Aussie Adventurers
A most gracious host.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with StormRunner, who was an absolute delight to be with. We would go well out of our way to visit w ith StormRunner again :-)

A Gracious Lady
We had planned to stay at Wendy's during the Ocean Shores Irish Festival this week. Unfortunately, we were unable to make it. Wendy was super cooperative and was always very quick to respond to my correspondence with her. We are disappointed that our plans didn't pan out the way we wanted them to this week, but look forward to meeting her in person soon. All the Best to Wendy! Joe and Diana
