Along our travels, we have found interesting little rocks at various places where we have stopped. We like to clean them up and decorate them in simplistic, free-hand designs that are mostly a patriotic theme. We then share our decorated Pocket Rocks with the hope that they are an encouragement, a blessing, and that they brighten someone's day. If you found one of our Pocket Rocks, we'd love for you to tell us when and where you found it. Just send us an email in the contact form at the right of this page. You don't have to leave a name, but a photo of the Rock would be great! We have met a lot of friendly, interesting people too! And with their permission, we share their stories also. Remember that you can never travel to far from the love of the Lord Jesus, and you are always welcome at His home.

Shared with a fellow Camper, The Boardwalk Resort, Homestead, Florida, April 13, 2021

 


April 13, 2021.  

We spent some time in Homestead, Florida, at the Boardwalk RV Park.  Parked behind us was a camper whose name was Marty.  He was a really nice guy, interesting to talk to and an avid fisherman.  Twice while we were there, he grilled the fish from his outing and shared it with us.  Delicious!  We didn't get a photo of him but was able to share one of our Traveler's rocks with him.

We received this really nice email from Marty:

"I was pleasantly surprised to receive your gift of the rock, and it really touched me. Later today my son will be arriving, and as I remember the last time I saw him last summer on my way back to Nebraska from his home I happened upon the Menlo, Ia. Freedom Rock about 60 miles from his location. I paused to admire and take some pictures and resolved that we would ride our Harley's to the rock this summer. There are a number of these Freedom Rocks in Iowa painted by a local artist and dedicated to the spirit or patriotism and respect for our warriors. You can find a map of them on the internet and if you get back into the Midwest in your journeys check one or more of them out.    https://www.thefreedomrock.com

"Thank you for your sentiment and have safe travels. I am certain the light of the Lord shines on your path."
