Hosts

The hosts we've found have been amazing.  We've knocked on three doors and used warmshowers.com twice and camped wild the rest of the time.  Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, has been amazingly supportive who we've come across.  The Brudos weren't home when we arrived and left everything out for us to make food and they even made us brownies. And they left the door unlocked for us. AND they made us fresh scones for breakfast. AMAZING! We found them on warmshowers. The Norris' were a family we just happened upon because we knocked on their door.  We asked for a place to set up our tent. Nothing more. They made us burgers and potato salad for dinner and then pancakes and eggs for breakfast. They didn't have to do that at all but they insisted.  Of course we didnt turn it down.  There will be more to follow on the generosity of the Norris'.  Other homeowners have allowed us to camp on their lawn and use their hose, which is definitely them going out of their way and we still appreciate it so much.  Sometimes they weren't even there! I think I have a benefit with travelling with two girls over most groups. If i were to ask I don't think i would get a good response. Especially with the way I look right now.  I'll post that photo later. To the people who have helped us so far I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Especially to the guy who just happened to drive by and offer us three bottles of ice cold water.  That was perfect timing! The heat has been getting bad lately.  I hope that we find many more people along the way just as helpful as those whom we've met and I hope that everyone reading this can share the same generosity with anyone needing a helping hand.
