Patti Hunt (00:00):
Looking for a unique camping experience in Kentucky,
Firefly Hills is the place togo.
I'm Patti Hunt and you'relistening to the RV Life Podcast
.
Tanya what makes Firefly Hillsso?

Tonja Lesmeister (00:23):
unique.
I think what makes it unique isthat we are full-time RVers.
We, you know, traveled andlived full-time in our RV for
the past four and a half years,and so we knew what amenities
that you know long-term, youknow RVers want, not just the
weekenders and so those features, I think, is what makes us

(00:44):
unique.
It sets us apart from othercampgrounds.

Patti Hunt (00:47):
And we're going to talk about all the unique
features of Firefly Hills,Kentucky.
We're going to talk about thearea and what's special about
this episode.
I actually did an episode withyou a year ago almost a year to
the day, so this is cool.
I decided to come back and beon site and now people could

(01:09):
actually see the things we'retalking about.
So people could go check outthe campground review on my new
YouTube channel, InspiredTravels with Patti and when they
go there, if they like whatthey see, they should subscribe
and, you know, give a thumbs upand also to comment on things.

(01:29):
You know, if they have othersuggestions for you that they
might like to see in acampground, yeah, we love that.

We hear from our work campers and our guests
all the time, and we're open toconsidering any ideas.

Patti Hunt (01:41):
Great.
So we are going to jump in.
Today.
We are going to talk about thisunique campground experience,
and when you and I talked tounique, I had never seen
anything like that.
This what I saw, what I heardyou talk about.
A year ago, I, my husband and Istarted traveling.
As some people know our storyit's been over four years now.

(02:03):
We traveled back and forthacross the country three and a
half times.
We love to see the unique,unusual experiences.
It's why, to this day, I'venever been to a national park.
We always found those coolplaces and people, things to
experience.
And then, as some people know,a year ago, I started traveling

(02:26):
solo.
And now what's cool aboutcoming here to Firefly Hills?
As people will hear about andsee on the video, there is a
beautiful 100-year-old housethat people could stay in, which
I've had the experience, and ithas been amazing.
So these are just some of thethings we're going to touch on
today and before we get started,as people are traveling around,

(02:49):
I love to talk about open roadsresorts.
They have seven incredibleparks and they're in Idaho,
nebraska, new Mexico, two inTexas, one in Wyoming, and their
brand new park is in Louisiana,near New Orleans, and that is
called and I hope I'm notmessing the name up Bayou

(03:10):
Barataria RV Park.
I hope I said that right.
All of these parks are highlyfavored because the RVers have
given their honest reviews ofthese parks.
So they are all highly favoredand people can see what people
are saying, what RVers aresaying, by going to

(03:31):
campgroundsrvlifecom oropenroadresortscom.
Now, as I said, you were on thepodcast a year ago.
We're going to put a link tothat in the show notes, but I
want people to get to know whoyou are.
So you and your husband, troy,were world schoolers.

(03:54):
We'll explain a little bit ofwhat that is to people.
After doing your worldschooling, you decided to go
full time in an RV, lovetraveling, and then we're going
to hear the story about how, atsome point, you decided buying
an RV park or piece of groundwas a good idea.
So let's just jump in.

(04:15):
Welcome, tanya to the RV.

Life Podcast.

Patti Hunt (04:17):
Thank you, Patty, you are welcome.
So first of all, for people whodon't know real quick what is
world schooling Sure?

World schooling is.
I compare it.
It's very similar to roadschooling.
It's traveling around the worldand educating your children
while you're doing that slowtravel, international travel.
So it's very similar tofull-time RV life.
It's just doing it around inother countries and many RVers

(04:46):
actually dabble in that as well,and that's how we got
introduced to full-time RVtravel was through a conference
that we attended World SchoolingConference, where there were
people at this World SchoolingConference who, when they're not
world schooling, they are RVingfull-time.

Patti Hunt (05:06):
Your kids had grown or most of them had grown and
you decided that RVing soundedlike a good idea.
So how'd you get to that step?
You heard about it from peopleyou were talking to.
Yep who?
I know it was your idea.
It was you and Troy.
I know it's your idea.
I know they're all your ideas.

Troy just goes along with it.
He does, he's a trooper.
Let me tell you, I'm thedreamer and he's the one who
oftentimes makes it happen.

Patti Hunt (05:34):
And right now out the window as I look, mowing the
lawn, and he has a full-timejob outside of here.
But he is here, he's been herefor the last couple of days and
he's out mowing the lawn, sopeople hear the lawnmower going
you know, the RV park life neverends.
That's true, that's true.

Yeah, so we we were had been to a world
schooling conference in 2018,met some of these cool people
who were you know.
I heard that they were livingin their RV when they were not
world schooling, and they wereback in the US and we were
attending our second worldschooling conference and I said
to my husband hey, let's, thisis our second conference, let's

(06:14):
have dinner with a differentfamily each night, and, of
course, I'm the one who made theinvitation and invited people,
and by the third night, he'slike I'm noticing a pattern here
.
All these people we've haddinner with are full-time RVers
when they're in the US.
I'm like funny how that happens.
And then so that is how I wasable to convince him to become

(06:37):
full-time RVers is by exposinghim to other people who were
doing it, and he could get allof his questions answered, and
so you were full-time for howlong?
So we started full-time RVing inNovember of 2020.
So we've been living full-timein our RV for four and a half

(06:57):
years.
We still live full-time in ourRV.
We are just not moving as oftennow since we opened the RV park
, but we do still take trips inour RV and in the winter months
we do our own exploring acrossthe US.

Patti Hunt (07:09):
And you have a son that has been traveling with you
as well.
Yes, so you're homeschooling.

Yep, our youngest son is now 17.
He's the only kid out of ourfive kids that we raised that
has traveled with us.
Some of the older kids havedone a little bit of world
schooling with us, but he's theone that has been around the
most and he's the one who's beenwith us in the RV.

Patti Hunt (07:29):
So, as we talk about I said in the beginning, unique
, and I honestly wish there wasa different word what you're
doing here in this campgroundagain is different than anything
I've ever seen.
Campground again is differentthan anything I've ever seen.
I've gone to RV parks wheremaybe they're doing a little bit

(07:50):
of gardening type things, orthey have special areas for the
kids, or, you know, you have theGaga pit, which is the new big
thing that we'll talk about forpeople who don't know what that
is.
So you have different parts andthey have what they call unique
things.
Your unique is a different sortof Next level, next level, next

(08:12):
level unique.
Yeah, so let's just jump in andtalk about it.
Sure, you did this worldschooling, so obviously you had
a different idea of how youwanted to educate your son.
And then you're very much aboutcommunity.
We're going to talk about andconserving where you can.

(08:33):
So let's talk about how you gotto this place of such a unique
place.
First of all, I just want tolet people know you have 15
sites, 15 RV sites that are fullhookup.
They're going to see all ofthis if they go to the
campground review video, but Iwant to let people know, you
have 15 full hookup sites.

(08:54):
These are long, 70 feet minimum,yep, 70 feet minimum.
There is space on both sides.
There is a picnic table, fullhookups, electric water, sewer,
everything you can need at thatsite.
There are fire pits here.
There are community fire pitsBecause it is a lot about

(09:15):
community for you.
There's the laundry room, whichwe RVers love and need.
There are shower, there arebath houses.
So there were times I wanted toget out of my RV and take a
nice long hot shower, even ifyou were on full hookups, those
showers that you have.
There's space.

(09:36):
I can feel like I can move theyhave heated floors and they have
heated floors, which my RV didnot and you have a little store
that you have merchandise, butyou have local products and
you're bringing in more.
Okay, that's standard.
That's the standard sort ofstuff in a campground the fact

(09:57):
that you bring in local productslocal honey, soap, teas, teas,
hot sauce, local teas and you'regoing to bring from the local
community, which is awesome.
But for the most part, we'vegot the campground and people

(10:19):
could stay.
Let's talk about the stuff thatjust makes this unique.
First of all, kids areobviously a big important part
of who you are.
First of all, kids areobviously a big important part
of who you are.
You want to talk about howyou've adopted some kids and
fostered them.

Yeah, we've done foster care.
We have adopted kids,international adopted kids.
We hosted over 50 exchangestudents when we were in our
sticks and bricks.
They were mostly collegestudents so they didn't live
with us, which made it a littlebit easier, but exposure to
different cultures and still,you parent young adults.
You've got young adults.

(10:51):
You understand that.
So, yeah, kids are a big partof who we are and what we do.
My background is social work.
I always worked with kidsduring my social work career as
well.
So, yes, our kids space is topnotch.
Um, you will not find atraditional playground, um, here
at Firefly Hills.
Um.
And how I decided what to dowith my kids space is I asked

(11:15):
the kids themselves.
So I pulled all the kidstogether on property.
I said what do you want?
They gave me three and a halfpages of what they wanted in
their space and I'm just slowlyknocking them out.
You know and what we have.
I'll describe some of thethings we have now and just know
that when our guests come Ijust tell them.
I said, well, next time I'llhave some new things, but some

(11:36):
of the unique things we havehere.
And, again, the kids helped toname the spaces too.
So we've got the whimsicalwoods and in the whimsical woods
we have a mud kitchen on thatOne of our camp uh work camp
families helped build and it'slocated on a piece of the
property that has a naturalspring down there, so I endless
flow of clean, fresh water wherekids can make mud and they can

(12:00):
make mud muffins and mud pizzasand whatever down there.
So we've got the mud kitchendown there, which kids love and
I love, cause my site is just upthe hill and through the tree
so I can't see the kids downthere but I can hear them
playing and so I know that it'swell-used, cause I hear kids
down there all the time.

Patti Hunt (12:18):
And again, you described this on the podcast
episode last year and I had thisidea in my head okay, mud, and
I know my kids.
I had a kid that loved to playin the mud and I let her.
I, you know it's, it's.
Some people are like, oh no,you don't get dirty, but you
know, that's experience.
Um, and I had this vision, Iguess, in my head.

(12:40):
But when we walked down thereit was nothing like what I
thought, it was, just beyond.
And I said to you I want to godown and play in the mud.
I unfortunately don't have timeto go down, yes, or I would
have gone down.
I have adults that go downthere.
Yeah, absolutely, I could seeit being just such a serene
space.
Yeah, and again, because ofthis podcast episode, I want

(13:01):
people to know about thiscampground, but that they can
also see it, because it's justlike nothing else.
When you say unique, you meanit.

Yeah, so we've got the mud kitchen down there.
We just installed a coupleparent benches down there, so
the little little ones who can'tbe down there by themselves,
there's a place comfortablywhere parents can sit, because
kids literally spend hours downthere.
Um, on that same hours downthere and that same area down
there which is very magical,because you've got this, you
know two inch, you know flow ofwater going down there is also

(13:32):
our fairy village, and so kidscan go down there and they can
build a fairy house.
And I tell them, when they walkthrough the little arbor that
we have down there, that they'reentering the land of
imagination where fairies andgnomes and unicorns live, you
know, and so I do on occasionguide them through building
these fairy houses, andsometimes they just go and do it

(13:54):
on their own, and then our onlyrule with that is that you only
use things that come fromnature, so pine, cones and
sticks and rocks and moss, andyou know whatever you can find
down there to build these cutelittle houses and forts and
museums.
And then they tell me who livesthere.
Is this a fairy?
Is this a gnome?
Who is this?

(14:15):
So that is the whimsical woodsarea.
We have a second area in thewoods in a different part of the
property called the HiddenHangout, and down there we have
what's the best feature for thekids.
Anyways, down there is the weband the web.
It's hard to explain becauseit's not very common, but it is

(14:35):
kind of like a trampoline madeout of paracord in the trees,
with sides not quite as bouncyand it's a little bit bigger
than your traditional trampoline, sides not quite as bouncy and
it's a little bit bigger thanyour traditional trampoline.

Patti Hunt (14:46):
I think it's quite bouncy, I've got to say.
I tried to stand up in it.
So I went down there last night.
I tried to stand up.
I had to crawl across.
I could see where kids wouldhave a blast, oh yeah, but I
went and laid down for probablyclose to an hour, just laid
there and it bounces and it just.
It was magical In the middle ofthe forest.
Yes, in the middle of theforest.

(15:07):
You look up and you see allthese trees and they have leaves
on them right now.
I could see a break in thetrees so I could see the stars
and the fireflies yeah, thefireflies.
It was truly magical.

Yeah, we have done an evening event once where
we brought in glow sticks onthe web and the kids had so much
fun.
But yeah, so the web isprobably the most unique feature
down there, but we also haveother things down there as well
and, like I said, we keep addingto it.
We've got the ninja course downthere.
We have teepee down there.

(15:43):
The kids have built a littleteepee area down there with um
fallen small trees, um, we'readding a little campsite, cause
the kids wanted to tent camp.
You know they're used to RVcamping but they wanted to tent
camp.
So there's a little fire pit, amock fire pit area for them to
pretend to have to be camping.
We've got cars made out of biglogs that they can sit in and

(16:03):
pretend they're drivingsomeplace.
We have a couple of uniqueswings down there.
We have the surf stand up surfswing.
We have the net swing.
We'll be adding a slack lineand the zip line soon.
And also down in that area isour hammock circle, and that's
always an argument between theadults if it's the napping space
or the kids if it's a playspace in the hammock circle.

(16:25):
But it's right on the edge ofthe woods so it's shaded most of
the day, but at night, if youwant to go down there, you can
stargaze down there in thehammocks as well.

Patti Hunt (16:34):
Yes, I did not get to do that, but that is one of
the things I mean.
You probably find me down therein the morning because it is
just to lay out there and lookat the stars.
There's not light pollutionaround here.
Oh my goodness, I just you know, obviously I'll have to come
back and do all these things youwill.

Well, let me tell you about the rest of the
kids spaces.
We've got the Gaga ball pitthat you mentioned earlier, and,
for those who aren't familiarwith that, it's kind of like
dodgeball, but without teams ina a roundish, you know area pen
pit.
It's like a big playpen.
It's the pit.
We also have pickleballbasketball.

(17:16):
We have two fishing ponds thatyou can keep the fish or catch
and release.
That's up to you.
And then, of course, we havetrails all over, and then we
have the thinking spot, and thethinking spot is a single table
and a chair with a jar that hasdifferent thinking prompts in it
that you can either journal on,just ponder about, or have a
discussion with your family, andso those thinking prompts have

(17:38):
to do with nature, inclusion andtravel.

Patti Hunt (17:43):
So much here, and you have the garden, as you said
.
Yeah, let's talk about thegarden and the chickens and the
trees, yep.

So we offer homesteading experience.
One of the things that myselfand other full-time RVers said
that they really missed washaving a garden and teaching
their kids where food comes from.
So we have a well-establishedorchard.
I've taken out some older treesand put in some new ones as
well, but I have just to name afew hazelnut, apple, cherry,

(18:16):
pear, peach, persimmon, pawpawtrees in that area, blueberries,
raspberries, and then we haveour vegetable garden Trees in
that area, blueberries,raspberries, and then we have
our vegetable garden.
We have raised beds and thenanother area for garden where
our guests can come and helpthemselves.
Right now we have lettuce, kale,onion, cucumber, green beans
and mint, and then we also havedown in the park some whiskey

(18:40):
barrels we are in Kentucky afterall, so I have to make a little
nod to the history there.
So we have whiskey barrels downin the park that have tomato,
pepper plants and then herbs aswell.
So you can help yourself to anyof those to enhance your meal
when you're here cooking, andthe kids just can help
themselves.
Like I always tell the adultsgood luck finding any ripe

(19:02):
raspberries, because that'swhere the kids head first every
morning to pick and eat themright there, but also kids and
adults can join us for chickenchores once a day, every day,
and see what it's like to carefor chickens.
So they can help collect theeggs, feed the chickens, give
them fresh water, let them outto free range so they get a

(19:22):
little flavor of that as well.
And in the future we're hopingto add some more farm animals to
the property too.

Patti Hunt (19:28):
And this is a huge property, so many things that
you talked about.
There's so much to do here,homesteading.
You refer to full-time RVersand as a full-time RVer, I miss
my garden, so being able to goout there.
You know, I said I looked atsome weeds that I was going to
get.
I knew once I started Iwouldn't stop pulling out the
weeds, which you're more thanhappy to have people do.

(19:51):
But for the people who arepart-time, that are trying to
show their kids or, you know,maybe don't have the garden.

Maybe they don't live on a homestead, maybe
they don't have a garden, maybethey're in an apartment or
something like that To really beable to get out there and get
fresh fruits and vegetables,fresh eggs every day.

Patti Hunt (20:11):
I had eggs today that were just.
It's not the same, you know,when they're growing, especially
when you go out to the chickencoop and you grab them yourself
and you eat them.
Now I got to say I did not.
This, you know, maybe shouldn'tbe mentioned, but I did not go
into the chicken coop becausethere were many stories over
dinner about snakes in thechicken coop.

So, yeah, we have had a snake or two in there
.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
So if people don't want to helpwith that and they don't want
to dig in the garden, they canpurchase our produce in our
little farm stand.
So I know, I recognize that noteverybody enjoys or knows how
to pick their own, so all thesethings are also available in our
little farm stand as well.

Patti Hunt (20:52):
Right.
So honestly, I could see beinghere at the campground for two
weeks and just not maybe evenlonger.
I usually stayed somewhere fortwo weeks.
There's also a hot tub that youknow people who have
memberships.
We talked about that in thevideo.

Or guests in the house or guests in the house
.

Patti Hunt (21:11):
We'll talk a little bit about that.
There's places that people can,you know, get together and have
the you know a fire andsurround the campfire.
It's all about community.
That was a big thing for you,bringing people together.
People could stay here forever,and not for me this is amazing
and serene and just being innature for me.

(21:34):
I love going, I love theexperiences, I love doing, but
there's also those times to justbe and be still and rest.
Be still to be with other RVers, to be with community.
It was great hanging out withyou and Troy and going to dinner
and and experiencing things.
But let's talk about people whodo want to go out.

(21:56):
I'm honestly didn't know muchabout Kentucky.
I learned a lot the lastepisode.
You talked about things in thearea.
Now that I'm here and Iexperienced some of those things
, let's talk about them.
First of all, there are a bunchof little towns around that
offer, you know, shops and foodand restaurants I liked.

(22:19):
We went to a lot of.
The sort of one of them was, Ifelt, like a hidden restaurant.
So let's talk a little bitabout restaurants.
The pizza place Miguel's.
It wasn't just a pizza place,it was an experience.

Yeah, miguel's is has been around for over 40
years and it really caters tothe rock climbing community, so
there is a huge draw in thisarea.
We get over a hundred thousandguests just for rock climbing in
this area and Miguel's is kindof the heart of that community
because not only can you eatthere, but also that's where

(22:52):
typically the younger rockclimbers who tend camp stay
there at Miguel's and they canget laundry you know laundry and
coin showers and things likethat there as well.
So Miguel's, yes, is one of therestaurants.

Patti Hunt (23:06):
Here in the Red River Gorge area you have Hop's,
which is a Well, before we gointo that, I just want to go
back to because we did eat atMiguel's.
They had pizza, they had everytopping known to man.
They have all kinds of, Eventhe ones you didn't think were
pizza toppings, I know right.
And I got to be honest, I gotjust the cheese pizza.
I couldn't decide.
I was so overwhelmed.
I was really hungry andoverwhelmed.

(23:28):
But they have lots to offer andit's just right on the main
highway.
But again, it's an experience.
You could eat outside, youcould eat inside you could play
basketball where you're waiting.
Yeah, the view of the place.
So it's not just a restaurantto go to.

Okay, so then, hops is another, yeah, hops.
I like to recommend hopsbecause it's farm to table and
April Reefer, the owner there,only sources locally and what
she can't source she growsherself in a greenhouse.
She's got the ducks wanderingaround there.
She uses the duck eggs and someof her restaurant items that

(24:04):
she provides, and it's rightnext to a lovely creek, so I
like to mention Hop's restaurant.
Rock House is another one.
They have burgers and burritos.
One of the things I love andappreciate about Rock House is
they do not have plastic, so youwill not find plastic in.
You know.
They don't have plastic straws,you know, and I just really

(24:25):
appreciate that they don't havedisposable plastic cups, things
like that.
So I really appreciate that andwe were going to go there so
maybe I'll stop there.

Patti Hunt (24:33):
Before the airport they weren't open.
But when you said burritos wewere like, yes, we need a
burrito, so maybe we'll stopthere on the way to the airport.

Yeah, and then we took you to dinner last
night, to one of our favoriterestaurants, red Point Barbecue.

Patti Hunt (24:49):
And that what's really cool was the view.
Yeah, and that's something justfrom the time we left the
airport and started driving here, and it is about an hour and a
half drive from the airport, sopeople are flying in and people
can stay in the house down there, but such a scenic, beautiful
ride.
It was just incredible.

(25:10):
And so Red Rock, we are sitting.
Red Point, red Point.

Red Rock is in Las.

Patti Hunt (25:16):
Vegas that's, yeah, near Las Vegas.
Wrong way, Sitting outside,overlooking just.
It was beautiful.
It was just beautiful,Overlooking all the mountains oh
, is that what it is Okay?
Overlooking mountains and thebest barbecue ever.
Like, I don't eat barbecue thatoften, I don't like the spacey

(25:38):
and some of the sauces, and allthis and barbecue sounded like a
great idea.
Well, it was amazing, and someof the people that were with us
were like this is the best I'veever had, and they do eat a lot
of barbecue.
So that says a lot and it isthe atmosphere.
The people were so friendly andjust it's an experience.

Yeah, and I was listening to the table
behind us.
We're talking to the othertable and they had a long
conversation and they werestrangers to each other.
So, yeah, it was yeah.

Patti Hunt (26:08):
And I find that in Kentucky people are just so
friendly.
Other places, other restaurantsyou could think of.

Yeah, there's Toad's, which is a newer
restaurant.
They often have live music andsing-go, which is bingo, but
with music, Like you know, namethat song, name that artist,
kind of a thing, so that's fun.
There's Skybridge Station.
We enjoy going there on Tuesdaynights and doing trivia.
That's their trivia night, butthey also have live music.

(26:37):
Many of these differentrestaurants in the area have
live music various nights of theweek, so you can probably
listen to live music probablythree nights a week in the area
for free, and then we have acouple of venues where you can
pay to see a little or listen toa little bit bigger names as
well.

Patti Hunt (26:53):
And it is just endless what this area has to
offer.
We are nowhere near done.
As I said, I mentioned that Iflew in and then drove here and
stayed in the amazing housewhich we'll talk about.
For people who don't have an RV, that is an option to stay here
in the house.
Enjoy the beauty of thiscampground and the area.

Or RVers can stay here and grandma and
grandpa can come visit and stayin the house, or aunt and uncle.

Patti Hunt (27:22):
Every possible option.
I like to refer people to BlueCompass RV if they need sales or
service.
So they're upgrading their RVor they're just thinking about
RVing or need service.
They have over a hundredlocations coast to coast, more
than 15,000 new and used RVs andover a hundred service bays

(27:43):
with the most technicians of anyother dealer.
So that's great to know.
You can get your RV fixedbecause there's nothing worse
than there being a service bayand not the technician to fix it
.
Blue Compass is definitely theplace to go.
It's the place RV Liferecommends and you could visit a
local Blue Compass RV dealer orgo to bluecompasscom.

(28:05):
Let's continue on, because oneof the things that we did in the
area was to explore.
There's so much to do in thisarea and, again, I wasn't really
all that familiar with Kentucky.
We're in sort of almostsoutheastern part of Kentucky,

(28:27):
correct, and there is so much todo and I've been here for four
days and I will say not enoughtime.
Not enough time to spend in thecampground I know you did.
You're like are you sure aboutthat?
So I have decided that we'regoing to come back.
Fall is your busy season.
Fall and spring yeah, theleaves, the beautiful fall

(28:48):
leaves, but there are a lot ofpeople here and it's the middle
of summer and there's thingsthat people do.

Yeah, so we do host a fall event every year,
if anybody is interested.
It's a two-week event.
Again, it's catered to thosefull-time RV travelers.
It's our Halloween in Dio delos-week event.
Again, it's catered to thosefull-time RV travelers.
It's our Halloween Indio de losMuertos event, and so they can
go to our website and check thatout if that's something that
they're interested in joining us.
This will be our third yeardoing it and we have activities

(29:15):
for kids, we have activities forfamilies and we have activities
for the adults.
Yeah, we look forward to havingthat.
That's our favorite thing thatwe do every year.

Patti Hunt (29:23):
You talk about it.
You just glow when you talkabout it.
So and I've seen pictures of itit looks like an incredible
event and there are differentevents and activities here at
the campground as well as in thearea that people could go to
your website, kentucky FireflyHills, kentucky and check out
all of that.
Okay, let's talk about the area.

(29:45):
Yeah, things that just amazing.
So I'm going to.
You are the ultimate tour guide.
You have, like, taken useverywhere and just given us
this grand tour.
So let's talk about some of thethings.

So some of the highlights in this area.
Really there's something foreverybody here.
There's hiking, and our hikinghas both waterfalls and arches
natural arches here so we wenton a couple little quick hikes
ourselves.
So that's one feature.
We've got the DanubunBackcountry Byway, which, if

(30:26):
you're an off-roader or you havea four-wheel drive vehicle,
there's several miles of that inand around Firefly Hills.
Here we own a Jeep, so we'veenjoyed some of that, and if you
don't have your own, you canrent one in the area
side-by-side and enjoy thebackcountry as well.
There's the Gorge underground,the underground kayaking in the

(30:46):
mine, um here, which iswonderful any time of the year
because it's the exact same sameexperience in the mind, whether
it's, you know, 30 degreesoutside or a hundred degrees
outside, um.
So that's, we have that.
We have the zip lining.
We also have the Sky Lift.
The Natural Bridge State Parkhas the Sky Lift up to our

(31:10):
biggest arch in the area.
So you can take the Sky Lift up, enjoy that and take the Sky
Lift it's like a ski chair liftand take that back down, or you
can hike it as well.
I think I mentioned the ziplining already.
There's kayaking, notunderground.
You can just kayak one of themany rivers in the it as well.
I think I mentioned theziplining already.
There's kayaking, notunderground.
You can just kayak one of themany rivers in the area as well.
I already mentioned listeningto live music and enjoying the

(31:33):
local food.
The farmer's markets are here,the list just goes on.
And on the Moonshine Museum,which I took you to.

Patti Hunt (31:42):
I got to say I don't really drink that much.
I don't know much of anythingabout alcohol, like in how
bourbon and moonshine and allthat.
It was such an incredible tour.
It was amazing, so that wastruly an experience.

Yeah, it's a part of history.
So if you enjoy history, that'sgood.
You don't have to be a drinkerto enjoy the museum.
And Donnie, who is the ownerthere.
He's a great storyteller andhas some very funny and
entertaining stories to tell.

Patti Hunt (32:13):
And not only that, but people could see his
sidekick, the dog.
I don't remember the dog's name, but he was a character, he was
hilarious.
That was incredible.
My favorite part of the trip,other than spending time here at
the Cape Groton truly I couldhave spent weeks just being here
, being in nature.
Yeah, resetting, regrouping,relaxing and we've talked about

(32:38):
it as business owners both of usare business owners being able
to recharge and disconnect andbe in nature so important.
My next favorite part was theRed River Gorge Drive the drive.

So I call it the Red River Gorge Loop.
It's also known as the Eye ofthe Dragon.
So if you've heard of the Taleof the Dragon that many
motorcyclists and outdoorenthusiasts enjoy, this is where
the Eye of the Dragon is.
So that drive you go throughthe Nata Tunnel, which truly is
a small tunnel.
It was built in 1910.

Patti Hunt (33:16):
And that tunnel and again, I've seen lots of
different structures indifferent areas.
You know the Grand Canyon I'veseen and that was, it's a tunnel
.
It was amazing.

Through a mountain.
Yeah, through a mountain, andyou know, and it's small.

Patti Hunt (33:34):
It's very small.
It's very small.
So you said that Troy drove adually through there.
I don't recommend that.

We've had lots of people drive their dualies
through there.
Yes, really, yes, okay, foldyour mirrors in.

Patti Hunt (33:46):
I was feeling a little claustrophobic about it,
but truly amazing to see thatorange.
It was just amazing.
Yeah, the scenery.

So yes, and on that drive it's about 30 miles
in length, the full loop of thatthere's numerous pull-offs
where you can pull off and hike.
Use your AllTrails app.
If you don't have that, there'sother trails there that are
marked.
There's places to pull off andenjoy the river and jump in the

(34:18):
water.
There's the Gladdy VisitorCenter where you can learn about
the history of the area and thelumber that they used to pull
out of that area.

Patti Hunt (34:27):
And again people could see it on the video.
We pulled into the VisitorCenter, which is very
informative Lots there.
It's a small visitor center butthey really pack it in with a
lot of great information.
And then the waterfall andthere's a rock, so people jump
off the rock.

(34:47):
There's jump rock yeah, jumprock.

Yeah, that was a little, not something I'm
going to do, I would have justgone in and gotten in the water.

Patti Hunt (34:54):
That was a little intimidating.

Yeah, and then the views you know, so you can
be down by the river or you canclimb up and do the hikes up
where the arches are and see theview of the area from top as
well.
And we got to do a little sneakpeek of that before we got a
little rain shower that camethrough.

Patti Hunt (35:12):
So, as we're walking , I just want to guide people
through.
You took us on it.
What you said was a quartermile.
Whenever I see a sign and Iwant people to comment on this
like you see the sign that saysa quarter mile or a half mile,
easy walk, and you're walking,and you're walking, and you're
walking, yeah, so I'm not assure as the bird flies, and

(35:33):
that's what I thought.
Absolutely beautiful walk.
I love those types of hikes.
I'm going to call it a hike.
I did not have the right shoeson and I'm getting ready to say
how much further.
When we came to one of thearches, how beautiful, how
spectacular.
And then I climbed up andclimbed through it.

(35:54):
Again, flip-flops, not a goodidea, please wear the right
shoes.
Just spectacular.
And then we're out on thiscliff ridge, which I'm afraid of
heights, but it was amazing.
And, like you said, it startedlightning In the distance.
In the distance.
Yeah, it was kind of a wowmoment, wasn't it?

(36:15):
Yes, and then we get to the carand not two minutes the sky
opened up.
Yeah, literally opened up, nottwo minutes later.
Yeah, our timing was impeccable, it really was, yeah, and then
we ended our day.
There's so much in that park, Imean just in the Red River
Gorge yeah, we barely sampled it.
Yes, you could spend days anddays.

(36:40):
I can imagine people and youhave a lot of guests that stay
here, that go to the Red RiverGorge every day and experience
the water.

And there's things that aren't in the Red
River Gorge as well in the area.
So that is one place and I dorecommend, if you're coming, if
you're going to explore thatarea, to do it during the week.
It does get very congested.
There's not a lot of parkingthere and so I do recommend I
recommend other places in theweekends that I know have bigger

(37:05):
parking lots that aren't aswell-traveled traffic, you know,
not as much traffic as that,but that's a great place to go
during the week.

Patti Hunt (37:13):
Right, and usually us, our bears, can do that.
Yeah, yes, yes, and and again,it's great.
It was only about 30 minutesfrom Firefly Hills Kentucky
campground.
It was a beautiful ride to getthere.

And the view on the way there is gorgeous.

Patti Hunt (37:31):
Yes.

And stop on the way and get ice cream or get
lunch or whatever.

Patti Hunt (37:35):
It's an experience driving so I could see
definitely going for, you know,a couple hours each day, if I
don't want to be there all day.
It's definitely convenient and,like you said, just beautiful.
Stop and get a snack.
There is a Beattyville, thetown of Beattyville, which is
where Firefly Hills is.
They have a gas station thathas donuts Delicious donuts and

(38:00):
I'm not a donut fan, but we wentand got donuts, yeah and we've
got the Bobcat Cafe.

We can get some ice cream there.
Yes, I think get ice cream.

Patti Hunt (38:09):
I'm going to get some ice cream.

Yeah, there's a few places around here to grab
ice cream.

Patti Hunt (38:13):
Yes, I keep hearing that, and while I was here it's
been very hot, so we probablywould have done.
I'd say I probably would havedone a lot more, but we did a
lot.
You were the ultimate tour guide.
For sure, there is no shortageof things to do in the area.
Let's just circle back to thecampground.

(38:34):
So much about who you are andwhat you do is around community
being inclusive.
No matter who you are, what youare, what you look like this is
the campground to be at.
The community is important andthat's a lot of what you do here
at the campground, like withthe fire pits and things like
that.

What else is the second thing?
So we were very intentionalabout building the park, because
when you are full-timesometimes it's hard to find
community, so we wanted tocreate a space where it was
easier to do that.
So instead of having fire pitsat each site, we have community
fire pits and we say, if there'sa fire there, everybody is
welcome.
And I've been able to introducepeople to people they would

(39:16):
never have met otherwise before,from all over.
And we had a couple that werestaying in the house from
Switzerland here rock climbing,and I got to introduce them to
some RVers that were here rockclimbing.
They're meeting up again thisfall.
So that's one piece.
You can rent a fire pit if youaren't a people person or you're

(39:38):
celebrating something special.
We understand that too.
So we certainly can accommodatethat.
Our picnic tables areintentionally not the long,
skinny ones, but it's morecircular in nature so that it's
more conducive to community andconversation and not leaving
people out on the far ends ofthe picnic tables.
And then we also we planactivities here on site, along

(40:00):
with our gathering events, andother groups have come in and
had events here as well.
So, um, if you are wanting toplan some sort of a gathering
event or retreat, family reunionof stuff.
You know, a wedding?
Um, we'll be getting ready tohost weddings here pretty quick.
Um, this we've.
I think we've got a great setupfor that as well, and we didn't

(40:21):
talk about that.

Patti Hunt (40:21):
The event space.
What is that called?
Yeah, blossom Hall.
Blossom Hall.
It's being renovated.
We did show a video of it onthe YouTube channel, but it is
being renovated and that is aspace for RVers that want to do
what they're calling hangoutsnow, and some people call it a
crawl or a meetup, whatever thenew terminology is.

(40:43):
That would be an amazing spacefor people to come.
Yep.

So it'll be our rec room by day.
We'll have, you know, ping pongand foosball and things like
that.
But then we have the ability tochange it up and have it set up
for a corporate retreat or haveit set up for a movie night or
have it set up for a receptionor to offer a class in there.

(41:08):
So it has a lot of versatilityin that space.
So we've got a nice soundsystem in there, a light system,
so if we have a performance, amusician or something like that,
we can accommodate a lot ofdifferent uses for that
multi-purpose space.
And that's another way for usto bring community in as well.

(41:30):
And we also not only promotecommunity on site but also with
our greater community, thecounty and the city as well.
So we've led different serviceprojects here in the area.
We helped with the flood relief.
The town of Beattyville floodedtwice this year so we had a
group this spring.
We helped clean up their townsquare.

(41:51):
We've done roadside cleanup.
We are doing a river cleanuphere in August and we are the
host for that.
So after everybody comes offthe river and we get all those
tires and garbage and stuff outof the river, then they're going
to come here to enjoy a mealand some music, and there'll be
some vendors of some localnonprofits and government

(42:13):
organizations that promoteconservation and healthy
environments will be here.
So we also try to give back tothe greater community.
Encourage our RVers to join usin doing that as well.

Patti Hunt (42:25):
That's incredible, yes, and if everybody would chip
in just a little bit, it wouldmake all the difference in the
world right, as we like to say.

Many hands make for lighter work.
Yes, absolutely.

Patti Hunt (42:36):
Let me just give.
We're going to come back.
We have more to talk about.
I just want to give a bit of anupdate for people.
You know it's July that this isgoing out.
The Hershey RV show, which isactually called America's
largest RV show, is September10th to the 14th.
I will be there the entire week.
I love it.

(42:56):
It's only about an hour and ahalf from where I live.
That is a great event.
So I want to give a heads up topeople that are looking to you
know, do an event like that.
I did do a video not a video,but a podcast last week talking
about what there is to do in thearea around Hershey, as well as

(43:17):
navigating the Hershey eventand ways to get there.
You and I both use the RV LifePro Suite of products.
We'll talk a little more aboutthat.
But somebody that wants to plantheir trip and then RV safe GPS
, we highly recommend the RVLife Pro Suite of products.
Also, rv TV and I don't thinkyou and I talked about it we

(43:39):
need to.
So they have what's calledRVers Top Talent and this is the
first ever nationwide you knowabout it, okay, the first ever
nationwide talent competition.
So when people think of talent,they think you know singing,
dancing.
No, this could be storytelling,this could be juggling, this
could be anything you couldthink of.

(44:01):
And for those people who justsaid I don't have a talent
because I don't feel like I do,you might want to find a talent
because there is a chance to winthe grand prize of $5,000.
And you've heard of this.

Yes, In fact, at our hangout that we did last
fall, we held a talent show hereand we promoted that exact
thing.
We said hey, if you have atalent here and you want to
share it with us, you can alsoput your name in the hat for
this and see if you can win thatmoney.

Patti Hunt (44:31):
I think we talked about it when we did the podcast
.
I think I told you about itbecause you were doing the
talent show.
That's awesome, and this iswhat it's all about Community
letting people know what's goingon.
You know, just sharing.
That's what the RV Life podcastis about.
Okay, so certainly we couldtalk for another hour.
There's so much in the area, somuch to do, so much to explain.

(44:55):
What else would you like toshare with my RV Life?

podcast, I think.
Our membership, because that issomething unique, that we've
touched on it here and there,but we haven't spent much time
talking about it at length.
So we offer a unique membershipprogram and we created this
really for full-time RVers andhad them in mind.
So with our membership program,it's a year commitment and the

(45:21):
RVer will get one of our premiumRV sites which has a casita on
it.
The casita is a building thatis finished, lovely on the
inside.
You got to see it while youwere here.
It has a table and chairs andthen some other seating in there
, has electricity, it has heatand air conditioning in there,
um.
So whether you're here in thecooler months or here when it's

(45:43):
hot, um, or what's raining, youcan have that extra living space
, um.
Spread out your family a littlebit, um, maybe the kids are
doing homeschool, maybe mom ordad are working, um, and you can
have a little bit of separationand a little bit more space to
just live.
And then on the backside ofthat building it's a separate
door.
There is a four by 12 footspace for storage.

(46:07):
That is yours.
If you don't want to, you know,carry your Christmas stuff all
year.
Jimmy outgrew the bike andJohnny hasn't grown into it.
You don't need your paddleboards for the next few months.
You have that extra space,which is nice, because then you
know, you know how we collectthings and we don't have much
storage right, depending uponyour setup and your rig.
Um, it's nice to have thatlittle extra storage.

(46:29):
So that is yours, um, to storeyour stuff in.
Um.
And then we have a 60 by 70foot shop and again, I took you
down there.
It's, I think it's, prettyimpressive.
It has two bays in it, that wehave a 44 foot fifth wheel.
We can fit in there with noproblem.
And one of the things that weheard in our travels is that
full-time RVers, many of them,are do-it-yourselfers, but they

(46:52):
can't carry all the tools withthem to be able to do their own
repairs, their own upgrades,their remodels, their adding
solar to their rig, whatever itis.
But with this membership youget to use our bays, so you're
out of the weather, out of theelements, use our tools to do
those tasks, those maintenanceand improvements to your RV.

(47:16):
Now, if your project is longerand you can't stay in your RV,
it's going to take more than aday.
We offer a discount for roomsin the house and for our RV
rentals that we have.
And then maybe, as we mentionedbefore, a family member wants
to come visit you but they'renot an RVer.
They can stay for a discountedprice and coming up, we're going

(47:36):
to be having glampingeventually here too.
They can stay for a discountedprice and coming up, we're going
to be having glampingeventually here too.
We've been working on that aswell.
So that will be part of that,as in addition to the other
accommodations that we have.
And then the best part aboutthat membership program oh, I
also forgot to mention they getto use the main floor of the
house.
So we have a coworking space wementioned.

(47:57):
We have the dining room, thevery large farm style kitchen,
and sometimes you know if I'mmaking, I want to make a bunch
of salsa or I want to dosomething a little bit bigger.
It's really hard in our tinykitchens and our rigs, so it's
nice to have that bigger space.
But the best part about thismembership is when our RVers and
our members are off exploringthe rest of North America, we

(48:18):
will rent out their RV site tosomebody else who's coming
through the area and then werevenue share that back to the
member.
So they get 60% of that.
We keep 40% for managing it andthey get to recoup some of that
investment.
So they can stay as long asthey want.
But when they are off exploringthe rest of the area then they

(48:40):
do recoup some of that.
So it's kind of like asemi-home base for those
full-time RVers.
I've had guests here that cometo reset.
They need to slow down.
They've got a big work projector something like that and they
just need to be in one spot fora while.
So that would be thatmembership program might be
ideal for them.

Patti Hunt (49:00):
Right and people can reach out.
They could go to the websiteand that's
fireflyhillskentuckycom, sopeople could go there.
I'll put it in the show notesas well as reach out with
questions that you have.
There are people that willanswer the phones when people
call and if they have to leave amessage, I know somebody's

(49:20):
going to call them back veryquickly.
I know the frustration wetalked about that of calling
sometimes campground, notgetting an answer.
Then they don't call back.
You guys absolutely will callback quickly.
Somebody will call back quickly.
That membership is reallyincredible for somebody who,
like you, said full-time.
I want that break.

(49:40):
I want to be able to use thekitchen or having the rooms in
the house, getting a discount,being able to cook.
You know, like I said, cooksome meals.
I would cook a bunch of mealsand then put them in the freezer
and put them in my RV.

Do your repairs?
Yes, the repairs the garage isis unbelievable because then you
can save money because you'renot paying somebody else to do
these projects.

Patti Hunt (50:03):
So many rvers they want to do it themselves.
You know it, just it.
It has it all in there andagain people could see video of
the garage and it's so.

It's so well stocked.
My husband loves his tools, soit's a well-stocked shop.
I know that feeling.
I'm sure it is.

Patti Hunt (50:20):
Yeah, so that's a great advantage.
I've seen people try and putsolar on their roof or fix the
battery bay and they're out inthe middle of the elements and
it just it doesn't always work,so that is a great extra feature
.
Okay, the other thing we didn'ttalk about was work campers.

(50:41):
Yes, you have a lot of peoplewe love our work campers.
Yes, let's talk about that.

Yeah, so I feel like our work camping
experience is a little bitunique compared to a lot of RV
parks.
We take singles, couples andfamilies, um.
We take singles couples andfamilies, um, our families that
work camp for us.
Um, oftentimes they want theirkids to learn new skills, um,

(51:08):
and they work camp as a family,um, as I mentioned, the mud
kitchen was built by a workcamping family, um, so we have
regular chores that need to getdone um every day, and so our
work campers are scheduledtypically three or four shifts
throughout the week, either amor pm, and I try to be as
flexible as I can with that andaccommodate, you know, if you do
have another job or you'redoing, you know, an excursion in

(51:29):
the gorge, and we want peopleto take advantage of that as
well.
They might have tickets for oneof the events happening and
then we assign projects based ontheir skillset.
So, if you're right now in thenext room, we've got our work
camper.
Tatum is doing a little bit oflight sewing for us.
Yes, I helped with it.
I was glad I could help.

(51:50):
It was unfamiliar with thesewing machine so we've got
people who help with maintenancethings, with building out some
of our new kids' spaces.
Sometimes my work campers aremore skilled in the gardens.
Sometimes they have anotherspecial talent they help with
social media.
There's just numerous thingshere, including feeding Ralph

(52:14):
the cat, yep, ralph the manager,taking care of Ralph he is on
duty which is a great.
It's a great task for the kids,right, and that's what you know.
Especially full-time RV families, they're like I want my kids to
have some responsibilities, soof course I always chat with
parents about it and make surethat we're giving them tasks

(52:36):
that are age appropriate.
But that is one of the tasksthat often my work camp kids are
, and one of them that I reallylove seeing my work camp kids do
that really helps build someconfidence and skills is they
give the tours to new kids whoare arriving in the campground,
to the kids' spaces on theproperty, and so I like to treat

(52:57):
my work camp kids as part ofour work camp staff and they get
a staff t-shirt, just like theparents do, and they take their
responsibilities seriously whenthey are giving the tours.
I remember we did a hangout lastfall and all of my tour guides
were all of the tweens and teensthat were our work campers,

(53:20):
including my own kid, and at theend of the week one of the
guests said I was very skepticalwhen you sent me off with a
13-year-old to give me the tourof the campground, but I had
already given them.
You know, I trained them well,gave them a checklist, what to
say at each stop and the flow ofthe tour, and he's like I, was
highly impressed.
I even tested this 13-year-oldwith some questions and she was

(53:43):
able to answer them.

Patti Hunt (53:44):
That's awesome, and it is again a skill when you're
on the road no-transcript.

A growing number of work campers come and
they're wanting to do somethingsimilar.
Either they're wanting to havea homestead in the future or
they're wanting, they'reconsidering opening and building
their own campground, and welove mentoring other people.
We have already done that a fewtimes and somebody who worked
camped with us two years agojust opened their small eight

(54:37):
site RV park in West Virginiaand they came back a couple
months ago to see us to see nowthat we're open here, because
this was before they were openwhen they were camped here, and
they occasionally send me a textor an email and ask a question
or whatever, and I'm happy topromote them and what they're
doing over there as well.

Patti Hunt (54:55):
So when I started this episode and said unique,
there's everything that is beingdone here is different and
unique, for sure, and you'vethought of everything and you
take advice from the kids.
You listen to the kids as towhat they wanted.
You know, you're hearing whatpeople in the RV community
wanted and that's what got addedin, even with the house staying

(55:18):
here in the house, theamenities there was nothing that
wasn't thought of.
Everything was thought out.
Staying here in the house.
It's just what an incredibleexperience.
Okay, my final question for youwe're going to start wrapping up
, but even though there's somuch more we could cover, we're
going to do the question of theweek and it is brought to you by

(55:38):

So that's a person you want tobe, a place, an experience.

about CoolRV, because it is agame changer.
It has been really hot here andI know some of the RVs that are

(56:00):
out there right now arestruggling a little bit.
Coolrv is a add-on to your airconditioning system that will
create more air, cooler air,more airflow, and the air
conditioner will be quieter,which was just an extra bonus.
So if you don't want the hotweather to ruin your trip, visit

(56:22):

And I sat down with Troy and Isaid so you know, do you just go
along?
So he seems okay.
I just want to make sure he wasokay with all your crazy ideas.

Yep, Okay, Yep , hey but look at, I'm sharing
this with others.

So my bucket list destinationis New Zealand.
We have some dear friends ofours that have family that live
in New Zealand and I want torent, you know, have us each

Patti Hunt (57:15):

Okay, it's now time for thefeature campground of the week
and it's brought to you by RVLife Pro.
We're going to talk about alittle bit in a minute about the

talk because where we are inBeattyville, kentucky, people
staying at Firefly Hills,kentucky and traveling can go to

right near Mammoth Cave.
So it's Park City, kentucky,and it's near Mammoth Cave
National Park.
And you said it's about how far?
Just under three hours, justunder three hours.
So these are two great stoppingpoints either on the way there

(58:01):
or back from there.
This is a great place to stop.
It is a Thousand Trails.

They have 68 full hookups andthey do have cabin rentals.
They have a solid 7.7 rating onthe RV Life Campgrounds review
site and they have 210 reviewsand that means 210 RVers gave

feels like it's the mostreliable.
He likes that he can plug inthe dimensions of our rig and be
assured that wherever we travel, we'll be able to get there
safely without running into lowbridges or anything like that
that we would not be able tonavigate right through.
