Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Ahhh, come on Kerry you can make it. If not, hope to see you next time. -Ray & Deb

This traveling light thing must be catching.

I decided at the last minute to leave the canoe at home. I just don't feel like horseing that think on and off the car by my self. It also kills my gas mileage.

I'm not roughing it too much. I picked up a 7" portable DVD player tonight. I'm camping on my own in PA for a few days after our gathering to use up the last of my vacation time. If I get too bored, I can sit in the tear and watch movies.

I'm leaving work at 2 p.m. I should get there by 8 p.m. or so.

Well we are just finishing up work and should be on the road by 10:30am arrivng about 3ish.

See yah'all there!

Glad I saw this post!
I too, was thinking the same thing! I'll be leaving the kayaks home then!
See y'all later!
We'll get there by 6:00-ish!

Packing the Metz up right now- should be there around noonish. See everyone this afternoon!!!

Got back home in great shape! The weekend was great, although a bit wet on Saturday. We had a pot luck Brunch. I did waffles for all! I redeemed myself..No complaints!
Tom S did pineapple pork for all for dinner, we had chicken by Jim and Janna

Here are some pics!

Steve,

Sounds like everyone had a great time! Sure wish we could have made it, but as it turned out, I worked 12 hours on Sat and had today off. We are looking forward to next spring for the 2007 CampADK Spring TearUp. Can hardly wait!! Nice pictures and thanks for posting them!!

Great pics Steve! Diane and I got home around 2:00 pm after she made me pull over in Otter Creek to buy more chochkie! Wait till you see what she got! You and Phyliss will get a kick out of it.
Had a great time with everyone and wanted to thank you all for the card and gifts, you made our anniversary a great day! Also the food was fantastic! I think I gained 5 pounds over the weekend. Hope more people attend the Fall down next year, it was truly a good time!
Got all excited on the way home on the Thruway when I saw a teardrop ahead of us, sped up to take a look only to find out it was Ray! How did you get ahead of us ? You were still packing up when we left. Do you know a short cut I don't know about?

Irish magic,
I take 365 to Rome instead of going south to Utica. (I thought you might have stopped to shop in town.) -Pics will post tomorrow. -Ray

Thanks for the look into your weekend. Now that I see it, I wish we could have made it.
Anyway,
There is always the TearUp to look forward too.

First of all i'd like to thank everyone for including us.We had a good time. The food was great. Over all the weather good.Thanks to Tom i formed a new addiction(no,not martinis) dutch oven cooking.Toms pineapple pork was very good as was Steves peach cake.I made sticky chicken thanks to Tom and his cook books. All were made in DOs. Very impressed.Phyllis,Ray, Rick , Dianne , Janna ,Dave & Kate added to the meal as well. All very nice people. THANKS ALL

Glad everyone made it home safely! And for some of you a bit of extra Chockskie to be had on the way back (Diane of course).

Thanks to all! We have such a great group, we definately will be doing this one again!

Think we are hooked on the merits of hauling one of those heavy dutch ovens around... the food was FANTASTIC! Thanks TomS, Steve n Phyllis, Jim and Janna. Thumbs up on the pinapple pork Tom! Diane's 'special brownies' were addictive.

Steve came back to shine on the Waffle frontier. Next year we'll have to bring along some wild blue berries for topping them off!

By the way Diane, we found the Yankee candle shop you were looking for on the way north out of Old Forge.

Kate and I headed back north to Fish Creek and realized it was the annual Adirondack show up in Blue Mountain, so needless to say we were 'delayed' there

We had an unbelievable near full redish moon at Fish Creek and amazing mountain / mist views in the morning from site 144 at Fish Creek. The campground was open to site 160 and was almost 80% full on Sunday night!

We have lined up the optimum sites for the Spring TearUp 2007, as well as another group of prime sites for the Spring TearUp 2008. I'll post more on this later.

I only took 425 photos this trip... about 150 at the TearDown and a bunch at Fish Creek... my finger is still raw! Will post them shortly.

Cheers!

I had a great time this past weekend at the Fall Tear Down in the ADKs. Thanks to everyone for preparing such wonderful meals; especially Steve for the waffles, and Tom for introducing me to the DO way of cooking. It was nice to meet our fellow TDers Jim & Janna.

I have some pretty poor photos at the following link. (Some are ok)

There are also most of the Alaska Trip photos there and Pics of Parvin, Spring Tear Up ADK, and N meets S too.

Although Debby couldnt make this one, she can't wait for the next one. She says "hi" to everyone. -Ray

Alittle off subject but. I noticed alot of you at the teardown have Easyup like structures. What brand and what size do you reconmend? Also what ops like screen sides and closed sides? I hope to see you all for the Spring tearup on my vacation to Maine, if all goes well.
