Motorhoming has been our life for 21 years. Travel such as this involves finding a campground for the night when no specific destinations are entered into the GPS because we often have no destination. We like to travel “loose” not knowing what brown sign will turn us north or south, east or west to visit a site such as Dorothy’s House (Liberal Kansas) http://www.dorothyshouse.com/ or Caverns of Sonora (Texas).
Over decades, campground searches have been refined, discount programs offered and a growth of opportunities have been developed and we have jumped on board. Now we can camp on an individual’s site such as found in Boondockerswelcome. com or on a farm or other business site such as on HarvestHosts.com. Our last 3 nights have offered us a trio of these personal and up close campsites, opportunities to meet folks that we would never have encountered otherwise and learn about their lives, livelihoods and gather a taste of their way of life.
We chose a site discovered on the Boondockers welcome site, a farm in Elm Creek, NE. Our host was Chad and his Grandfather Ringo joined us. Another rig was already in the yard and we were told that a 3rd rig would join us. Ringo invited us to tour his big barn to see a vintage car that made Paul’s eyes roll in envy. 
I enjoyed the farmer’s fields, the horse, the views and the soybean field and met and interacted with our neighbors. We had not met others on a boondock situation before, always being solo visitors. We soon became acquainted and non of us minded the train tracks nearby with an average or 60 trains a day (down from 200 pre pandemic.) 
The next night we camped in Pattawattamie County Park in the town of Avoca, IA. There were many rigs there already and I recognized our neighbor, we had met at the Escapade rally. 
How about this bird apartment across from our site and the free library open for business as well. 
The third night, to complete the trio, we boondocked on the site of a business called BundutecUSA.
They are in the business of manufacturing truck campers for your pick up truck and have an interesting story branching out from a company in Africa to the town of Raymond, IA, a town of 777 friendly people.
We are now tucked into a campsite along the lake near Madison, WI– lake Mendota to enjoy a visit with our cousin Mimi. We do have many neighbors here even though it is a quiet night mid week. It is quiet, cooling off a bit and certainly, three is not always a crowd.
