(Wow these rules seem pretty tough!  Why is that.   Here's the simple answer.  We've traveled the world since 1982.  We've stayed in $350/night hotels and in $3.oo per night campgrounds.  It's seems for every 100 people out there, 98 are folks you could trust your life with from the first moment you met them.  The other 2 would pick your pocket while you were bending over to help them with their bags.  If you're in the 98, COME, STAY, ENJOY and RETURN!  We're just trying to weed out the other 2 :-)

*Speed LIMIT in and around farmstead is 4 miles per hour.
*You must be 21 to rent a space. You are responsible for anyone under 21 in your party.

Info about US Highway # 2 from St. Ignace Michigan to Everett Washington 2119 miles
US 2 was one of the routes that made up part of the original US Highway system approved in November 1926. However, the original western terminus was at Junction US 95 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. US 2 was extended west to Everett, Washington in 1948.

Because this is an actual working grain and row crops farm, there will be days where there is harvesting going on (noise and dust might be present in the farmstead!  There is an occasional day outside the harvest period where you will awaken to tractor noise working around the farmstead.  Most times it's so quiet that you can hear a train going by almost 3 miles away.  This farmstead is not an origination location for crop spraying or other chemical applications, all of that is done by folks who carry current application licenses from our other family farms.  On the days that the fields surrounding the farmstead will have chemicals applied, there will be advance notice of the "when and what."  Because it is our desire to be the best stewards of the soil that we can be, we are constantly developing new techniques to minimize the amount and type of chemicals used.  Some of this land has been in our family for over 120 years.  We want to keep it (and ourselves) healthy as we pass it down to future generations.
