Two San Diego women left a hand-written thank-you note expressing appreciation for the lush area.

"Unrolled our sleeping bags and had a great night's sleep here in the garden," Alicia Washington wrote, explaining that they have been biking from San Diego to St. Augustine and, while in Crestview, "enjoyed your town."

"We have been on the road camping and staying with warm showers hosts," Washington said in the letter. "It has now been two months and I still love sleeping outside and riding every day.

"The beginning of fall has been incredible as it's unfolded across the (southeastern) landscape.

"We will return to the Northwest and dream about 2 1/2 months of eternal summer," they said.

"Thanks again for having such an inviting community space."

Ward said the letter was a pleasant surprise.

"We thought it was very cool and wanted to share it with you and your readers!" she said.
