After living in the country, I know how peaceful it can be. So, being so close to the city and having this space that is secluded and peaceful, it seemed only fair to share it with someone who is interested in the same thing.

1 night at Camping @ the Horse Farm

I came in right as it was about to storm so Cheryl let me set up camp in the barn. Wish I could have seen the planned site , but I am very grateful I got to stay dry!
