I pulled into Waverly Creek Rest Area this afternoon and was waved into a spot to park, by, yep, Netco. Col and Annette had arrived there just before me. Really nice people and I tell you that for free. Thanks for the chat and the mini happy hour Col and Annette. I can't believe I was your first Grey Nomad...
