Novice boondocking couple, looking for places to stay as we travel
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
We are a 65+ couple, retired military and recently retired from our civilian jobs. Purchased tow vehicle and travel trailer late May 2020. We are spending as much time on the road as we can, while we can. Please, ask anything... we're gluttons for attention.
Skills & Expertise to Share
Skills? Expertise? We can tell you about skydiving, a little about everything else, but no other real expertise. Just a normal blue collar couple, no exceptional skills.

Favorite Boondocking Locations
We love Boondockers Welcome hosts, ALL of them! We like U. S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds, what a great bang for our buck!

Interesting Person
I enjoyed having them here. Although we didn't get to interact much because of my schedule, the quick conversation over his adventures made me glad to be a part of it.

Very nice couple.
berndtrinva have a nice unit that they travel in. Really enjoyed their company for the short stay. We had a lot in common and enjoyed the talking about our adventures in the past and present. Would welcome them here anytime they are in the area.

Very interesting couple.
We only had the pleasure of this couple's company for an overnight, though they would be welcome any time. Since they plan to see much more of the States in their travels other Boondocker Welcome hosts may have the opportunity to spend some time with them.

Friendly Couple
We hosted berndtrinva one evening while they were traveling south. We enjoyed spending time with them. There both have had interesting lives and shared some of their life experiences with us. They are welcome to return in the future if their travels bring them our way again.

Thank you for staying with us
Thank you for the kind words about our Prairie Farm. I am so glad you enjoyed staying with us. You and your wife are such nice people and we would love to host you again. Your interest in our farm and questions you asked were appreciated. Since hosting Boondockers we have gained more appreciation for the quite and peaceful place we live.
Safe travels !

So Sweet
What an exciting, energetic couple! We just loved meeting berndtrinva. So sweet and appreciative of everything. They made sure to keep in contact with us upon their arrival. Their truck and rig fit right in our space and they were able to relax some, before unhitching and heading to the Walmart 3 miles away for supplies. When they returned they enjoyed a stroll on our paddleboat. They were very respectful of our social distancing. We offered them to stay another night but they found a Sat. night stay and headed out early the next morning. It was motivating to see them heading across the country. Safe travels until we see them again!! They are welcome back anytime.

Great visit
We had a 1 hour visit, and limited our contact to social distance. Nice to swap sea stories with another USN retiree.
Come back again when this virus stuff is better under control...

Loved them!
We so enjoyed having them! They are brand new to RVing so we enjoyed sharing some tips and experiences with them. They were like a sponge, taking it all in. We really that on their way back through they will stop here. Just a most fabulous couple.

Honored to be their first Boondockers Welcome Hosts!
We welcome Berndtriva as new RV'ers! They were very engaging and friendly. We are novices, too, but we were able to swap some tips and stories! We would be happy to have them come back anytime!

Nice folks new to RV'ing.
Navy vet and his wife learning the RV ways by living it. I admired their adventuresome attitude and the research they put into this endeavor. He soaked up every piece of RV experience I offered like a sponge. And I've learned a lot over 40 years of doing it, often wrongly. Fun to talk with and we were glad to host them. Hope they have a great adventure and come back by sometime.
