This is not a sign travelers often see. In fact, staying off the grid is
considered by some RVers as kind of cheating. Then a clever computer person,
seeing a need, created the web site Boondockers
Welcome.
Basically, it is a site where people sign up to host other RVers at their
home or on their land. Self contained travelers then go online and ask to spend
a night or two. The host has to approve the request. Of course, there are
profiles etc.
So, that is how we found one of the most beautiful and serene places to camp
near the New River Rail to Trail. It wouldn’t be fair to the hosts to tell the
exact location but I will say it is close to Galax Virginia and right next to
a beautiful tributary of the New River.
Our hosts were friendly and gracious. They opened their front porch to
conversation and we left feeling like we were friends. We learned local history
and about the surrounding lands. And, what is it about that southern accent
that seems so friendly and laid back?
We will definitely be using this web site again. And thank you to Jim and Andrea for a memorable stay at their lovely summer home.
