Safe and welcoming campsite
Our first stay was memorable, though unexpectedly short. We were welcomed to stay the night there during a medical transport for our nonprofit animal rescue. We connected our camper van to electricity for the night, looking forward to a night’s rest after a long week of surgeries. Unfortunately, one of the dogs we were helping had an unexpected and urgent medical emergency, just as we were settling in. Her surgical sutures were failing due to fragile skin, and she was starting to bleed.
We needed to find the closest ER open all night. Bill gave suggestions and made some calls on our behalf. Before we left, two hours after arriving, Nancy greeted me with surgical gauze and pads she had on hand in her home. I hugged her and thanked her for her help. We used everything she gave us and got our dear patient to a hospital in time.
While it was not the overnight stay we were expecting, our experience exemplifies the quality and character of our hosts. We make the trip annually through Pennsylvania, and we will most definitely be staying there again. Hopefully, next time we can enjoy waking up on their beautiful property!
Thanks again to Bill and Nancy for your hospitality. In a sea of faceless, corporate owned hotels and campgrounds along I80, you offer true warmth and a welcoming spirit that gives us hope in humanity.
