Today, I’m on the road again. I hitched up the Scamp early this morning and drove to Peoria, Illinois, where I am camped at my first Harvest Host overnight. For an annual fee, Harvest Host provides its list of hundreds of wineries, breweries, farms, museums, golf courses and other businesses who offer a single night of dry camping on their property. In return, guests agree to spend some money at the business.
This afternoon, I paid for a $5 wine tasting for five samples of wine and then bought a bottle of the one I liked best. The overnight stay is free. No utility hookups, but no crowds either. I’m the only camper staying tonight on a lovely warm Illinois evening.
Tomorrow, I move east to Indiana, and perhaps another Harvest Host stay.
