Blacksmithing, woodcarving, fiber spinning, weaving, etc., along with live folk music and storytelling. The jailbreak shootout was great! The area for overnighting was completely shaded by live oaks and very quiet.”

Ducks greeted us and wandered around outside our camper frequently, as we were parked next to the pond. The donkeys were affectionate when we gave them treats, the goats were very energetic! Kati’s tropical plants were beautiful and I bought a Hoya to grow in our Airstream…we will return!”
