I was treated like a member of the family! The only disappointment I had was that their B&B is not in town, but located about 2 miles outside of town. It's Dolores' and Virgil's private home. The Stenger's were more than gracious even asking if I wanted to share dinner with them. I parked my motorcycle in their shop and was shown to my room with a bathroom just across the hall. I was stopping in Pilot Grove for family research as my ancestors helped to establish it and farmed the area. Dolores not only told me the locations of the local cemetery's but drove me there. She also introduced me to the local funeral director who manages the sites. She had spoken to the PG Historical Society about my trip, but I was unable to fit in a visit. Virgil talked to me about farming and family and after a while, I'm sure our ancestors knew each other. All-in-all, the Stenger's were very gracious and accommodating, and my stay was comfortable. It was like visiting family.

Stayed with Delores and Virgil in mid June and had the same experience. Just like family. We will plan our next Katy trail ride with an overnight with the Stenger's. I would recommend folks not to shy away from the experience of staying with them at their farm.

For Jeff A in discovery Bay, CA.
Dear Jeff - Just curious - My family also is from Pilot Grove - WAY back. My family name is BABBITT and ECKERLE. Would you by chance be related to either of the families?
 
Jeff A. on 8/14/2013 1:50:29 AM:
Hi JBrown. Nope. Neither Babbitt or Eckerle show up in the tree. My main family is Meredith, Kirkman, Shoemaker, and Woolledge on this side.
