I believe it was Nov of 2019. Ed came across a homesteading conference. Doing some research and finding the Homesteaders of America, we found that the meeting was in October. We missed it but kept an eye out for possibly attending the next one with everything that happened last year that wasn't going to happen for us. They didn't have a live event. They did have a virtual one for Ed and me. If we were going to spend the money, we would like to see the speakers live and in person.
COme this year, back in March (Ed was keeping an eye on the site), we saw that this year's conference would be live. As soon as we found that out, we ordered our tickets. We did have the grandeur idea of camping on the site location. Later this year, when we went to see about that, there were no sites available. In reality, that was for the best, not that either one of us doesn't like to camp. In fact, we do. We had Chewy with us, and there were no facilities on site except porta-potties. Which was fine; coming back to a room with a bed was more appealing for us.
After all the plans, we embarked on a 222-mile road trip to Front Royal VI. The event was at the Warren County Fair Grounds. We left in the hours of Thursday morning. Both Ed and I had a class at 9 am. Then the conference started Friday and Saturday. With us coming back today.
We learned so much, and I have a lot to share. It's too much information to do in this post. My goal is to post about a class a day if I can, with life not getting in the way. There were some fantastic speakers, the people were a highly diverse set of people from all over the country. Everyone was so kind and friendly. It truly was a fantastic event.
