Although we didn't get the chance to meet Joe in person, he was very accommodating and quick through messaging. When we arrived, we were met by his father who was perhaps the most amazing host any of us have ever had! He was full of fantastic information, very comical, and did not mind that our arrival was at nearly midnight (by an accidental police escort at that!) He even greeted us again the following morning about more town entertainment (horse races) and we were all heartbroken we didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye! I highly recommend! Wonderful place, inspiring people, astounding scenery!
