I have literally been gone all day!
I woke up before six am and just got back home. My day was a lengthy trip of homestead hopping across Missouri. In total, I stopped at five different steemit homesteads plus I took care of some other business. It took a lot of work on my end just to make it up to @freedompoint before ten am.
ONLINE GOES OFFLINE, AND EVEN OFFGRID!
Total today, I've probably spent over eight hours just driving around. Thankfully, "the Yeti" from @freedompoint offered to drive me around on a local tour of various steemian homesteads in his area. After spending some time with @freedompoint and his wife @freedomtowrite, we stopped in to visit @borrowedearth.
@Borrowedearth is a beautiful soul and we connected on many levels. She taught me a few more things about Mullein and I introduced her to Rabbit Tobacco. I can't wait to get my video interview with her uploaded to "introduce" her to all of you more properly. To checkout her post about our visit, click here.
The next stop was @armadillocreek, where we enjoyed a lot more great conversation and stories. I'm amazed at the different paths that have lead people to homestead, and the different goals that people have within the homesteading community. A highlight of our visit with @armadillocreek was checking out his quail.
Quail are on our list of animals that we hope to eventually have, but we just haven't got there yet. To check out his setup and learn a bit about these birds in person was a huge blessing, and the @little-peppers that I had with me enjoyed our stop in at @armadillocreek.
We were also blessed with the opportunity to meet with @awesomehomestead and get a tour of their place. I've been looking forward to this for a while, and I'm glad that we finally got the opportunity. I can't wait to share some more about this visit with all of you! Next we were really hungry, so we stopped in at a pizzeria owned by @fetherhd. I wish that we would have had more time to visit, but the spaghetti was delicious nonetheless. Also, we ran into @armadillocreek there again too, since he was picking up a pizza!
After I took care of some other business in the area, I passed through @rockybrookfarm on my way out. He told me yesterday that he wanted a signed @papa-pepper card but I forgot to sign it, so it looks like I'll have to pass back through! This visit gave me a chance to check out some brand new baby goat kids that had just been born hours earlier! Hopefully there will be a post from @rockybrookfarm featuring those new kids soon!
Anyway, to meet so many homesteaders who all happen to be steemians all in the same day was a feat, but it was worth it. I had about a three hour drive back home from @rockybrookfarm, so I'm glad that @freedompoint was kind enough to drive me around to the other homesteads! This visit also gave me a chance to do four more interviews for my "getting to know one another" series, so keep your eyes out for that! Also, if you like what we are up to on our homestead, you may want to see what these folks are doing too and give them a follow!
Here is the list of steemians that I met for the first time today again:

"Thank You For Being". One of my favourite. 😊. It's good to learn few things about you. Well done.
Thank you!
I am grateful that Steemit has flowed into my Real World.
Community building...it matters!
Steemit has taken over and crept into our hearts. It feels like one big family and the way everyone connects is just simply amazing. Relationship is the true value here and i am glad i could connect with you.
oh great post
i like to travel
thanks for sharing this post
keep it on
wow, that's so cool @papa-pepper, you are so awesome and have a high social soul. this article you write can be a very motivation for me. To be able to work well in steemit and can be as successful as you. Although I just joined in steemit, but I am sure every hard work, will definitely get a satisfactory result. Thanks for sharing this motivation for me. Hope you have a wonderful day... :)
wow.
nice post and nice pictures dear thanks for sharing...
makes you wonder how anyone homesteaded before steemit.
Nice post.I respect you very much because you contribute to steemit.I will do activities like you.I would like to extend the steemit..
Nice post and good article thank for sharing my friend @papa-pepper i like your post.
I would like to invite you to visit my blog @rizkyakbar please upvote and comments my post thank you friend.
When reading this post I just had this thought.... What if you showed your past Papa-P self this blog 2 years ago and told your past you that this would be your future. What do you think your past self would have said to your current day self?
LOL - I was just thinking about my future Papa-P meeting up with you! LOL!
I don't think I would have believed it two years ago! I didn't even know what the internet was then!
Man that would be a funny conversation. I thought about how the heck I would even explain Steemit to myself 2 years ago. My 2 year ago self would be like “what are you even talking about? You earn “Steem” and write every day, talk to total strangers and shout STEEM ON all the time?” Would have probably committed myself to the loony bin. ... would love to meet some day Papa -P. That would definitely increase my chances of being on one of those cool trading cards!!
STEEM ON!
wanna meet you soon also @papa-pepper and your wild animals hehehe :)
Papa-pepper is going to number one in the steemit platfrom...
Great share always nice to see.
non stop upvote + resteem only for @papa-pepper Sir.
You had a busy day meeting fellow steemians,i wish you could come to Africa too.
If you are ever in St. Louis, look me up!
Superb post dear
Followed you.
Missouri is pretty - i sold a lot of kirby's to a lot of nice people there...
Oh nice....@papa-pepper
Traveling is what i'll pick up again as my hobby...used to love it before i got very busy
Dang! You are a busy guy.
I get all agitated when I have to do laundry and dishes on the same day.
LOL - Oh Doctor!
This is pretty cool. Makes me want to get serious about recruiting some steemers here in okc. Thanks for sharing so much of your life with us. @markrmorrisjr
While i was sleeping in Nigeria...
U were on the road...
Pretty cool
But when I come to visit in Nigeria, you will wake up!
Lol... I will be fully awake... Boss
Wow there's a hotbed of Steemians in your vicinity... quite a productive journey!
There must be a lot near you too, eh?
Nice avatar too. I like the changes!
Yes... but per capita I bet you got us beat!
Thanks!
Ozarks right? Looks like there are many there...
Know any North East steemian/homesteaders?
I'm sure there are plenty in the North East but I haven't come across them yet.
You have now...nice to meet you @otage. Though I can't officially call myself a homesteader yet I have the mindset. Moving fulltime on raw land in June, it's scary but exciting!!!
Wow... thats cool!
The truth is... Steemit is not for lazy people. The more you work.. The more you earn. The more original you are, the more you are recorgnised. No wonder why people like @papa-pepper are soaring higher.. Why will I post for free? I'll rather post to earn!
Same here... only want to post to earn since I found Steemit!!!
How diddly do you do that?!! You met up with so many people!! How awesome is that?!
Quail and dove have a very pleasant sound, in my opinion.
Now I’m following (or have been already)

Good morning sir.
I have left you messages on discord. Sorry for disturbing.
Please do check them during your free time.
What a day! Had a lot to do and it is consoling to know you had fun too. That's really nice and well done on your selfless service all the time. 💪
Hi @Olawalium... did you see mr Pepper might go to Nigeria one day?
That would be super amazing @senorcoconut to see @papa-pepper in Nigeria. I would go to the airport and wait an hour or two for him even before his flight lands. I will be his tour guide. He wil definitely have fun. Would be nice to see you too my friend. Super cool. Yaaaaay.
Who knows... maybe one day @olawalium. I do have a friend here in New York who lives on and off in Nigeria and if I go with him I will get in touch with you....well I will also get in touch with you if I go alone!
Yaaaaaaay! That would be super cool. I'm really smiling from molar to molar right now 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cool man. Though it's not a promise you know.
Definitely. It's okay to get excited at the thoughts of that, right?
Wow it's cool you have so many Steemians who are homesteading so close to you. That makes for a really nice network to help you grow your own homestead.
Have a good day master !!
Nice post. So worth the read.
I am very happy to join steemit, and am very happy to follow @ papa-pepper as I join steemit
here's the proof:
You've had quite a day visiting homesteads. I'm impressed how you network and help families one by one.
Pleased to meet you papa P
Hope to be great on steemit through you boss
I bet you slept well after such a full and fulfilling day. 🌞

Now on that I will agree that you are being blessed greatly, makes ya wonder what God has in store for your future ;-)
I was really glad you stoped by. Next time ill give you a tour. I could tell you all were tired so didnt want to keep you. But thanks again for stoping.
Yeah, I didn't want to miss you, but we were dog tired! Glad to see the baby goats and get to hang out though!
For sure thanks bro
So cool! Nice to see you guys going around to all these steemians' homesteads. I got to admit it makes me a little jealous but I soon will have a homestead to work on too... and I love to see that everyone was happy to visit! It looks like you had fun.
I follow @freedompoint already and will check everyone else there on your list for sure I want to pick @borrowedearth's brain on mullein, it grows everywhere on our property!
Thanks for sharing your experience Papa!
Wow! What a road trip. With a chauffeur and all! Awesome to meet so many fellow steemians. I can't wait to see the interviews!
That sounds exhausting but I bet you had fun meeting all those like minded steemians!
A few of them I was not aware of yet.
Wow!!!!! Meeting each other oh!!!! How I wish I was among you guys that had the opportunity of meeting my wonderful papa-peper and the rest of my fellow steemians it would bad been an honour and also a day to remember but never the less am still cool with it at least I can still see your post just need you to visit my post.
