Ates was a really special place for me to land on the first night of my long journey home to California from Savannah, Georgia. I called on the road after looking at what RV parks were ahead of me. Ates appealed to me with the open, natural feel with a large pond and animals around. I spoke with Jerra, she was incredibly kind and let me know they'd have a space ready and help me set up. This was my first time handling an rv, just me n my 3 dogs and I was anxious about the hookups. When I pulled in Jerra and my awesome maintenance man were standing at the entrance to welcome me. Jerra took me straight to the dog park and inquired about my traveling. She's very intuitive and knew there was a story. Lost my beloved grandmother a couple days before, she was supposed to be on the trip with me and seperating from my husband and driving across the entire country. So you can imagine the heavy heart I was carrying. They guided me to a beautiful spot directly across from both their rvs so I wouldn't feel vulnerable and could access their help if I needed them, even the middle of the night. Literally what they both said. They walked me through all the hookups so I would be able to do it myself the rest of my trip. Even had a fire going with a pike of wood for me. The next morning Jerra took me all around the absolutely beautiful property, introduced me to all the animals, including the adorable little squirrel she had just rescued. He snuggled in my jacket while she chauffeured me around the property on the golf cart. I wanted to stay longer but had to be on my way. Jerra and I had a very special connection, she shared some deep things that happened in her life and I was sharing mine. It felt like I was supposed to come to Ates, they were guardian angels for me in a time that I needed it. I felt protected by them. Jerra would call and text as I made my trip to make sure I was arriving safely to each destination, it was so above and beyond. We maintain contact even now. Ates wasn't a random place I stopped at, I believe I was guided there to begin healing. I hope to one day get back to see these very special people caring for the perfect animals and the humans on their adventures. Thank you guys. You're amazing read more
