I bought a DVD of "RV" so we have an option for "movie night" at the Spring Mill gathering.

Make sure you ask Bob Henry to bring his projector screen that we used at the Winter Shiveree. It was a white terry cloth towel, I believe. Much to everyone's surprise, it worked just fine despite being far from a smooth surface.

It did work pretty well cause someome forgot the screen :oops:

I promise to have the big screen I'm working on ready and there.

If my GoodWill addiction trips me over a da-lite projector screen I will grab it up.

Heck I have 3 months yet, so you know it will happen. :lol:

i reserved site # 73. i enjoy my shade!

i'm looking forward to meeting all of you and seeing your trailers. i'm not sure if my wife will be joining me... we already have reservations for the following weekend and she typically doesn't like camping on back-to-back weekends. if she chooses not to go i might still bring our dog along for the weekend.

i'll be arriving on friday afternoon. tim

Dan Sutton from the Hoosier Tearjerkers chapter builds then sells OR RENTS his custom teardrops. Renting one from him would make a lot of sense for one or two camping adventures so as to give you an idea of the options and craftsmanship that goes into these rigs. From what I have seen of his work, you couldn't be anything but exceptionally happy either renting or buying one from him. I have a Little Guy 6-wide that I got directly from Little Guy but if I ever wanted to have a custom teardrop built for me (and I will, some day), he would be at the very top of my list of craftsmen to hire.

Saw Dan this afternoon at the Boat, Sport, and Travel Show in Indy. Had to make a couple of trips around just to say "Hi", as he was swamped all afternoon with hopefully potential customers. He's a got a great location set up at the show and it showed with the number of people stopping by to check out the woody.

We went and visited this after noon also, really neat I've never been to the Boat Sport and Travel Show before. He's gonna be a busy man, good job Dan :thumbsup:

Hey Tim Welcome to doggy central I think most of us in the "woods" are bringing our dogs. Please talk the bride into coming it will be a great weekend you can not go just anywhere and see 35 to 40 tiny trailers it is a hoot and everyone is glad to see anyone interested in our toys.

If you Goodwill shoppers don't have any luck I can still bring my screen for the movie. We just need to be able to hang it somewhere.

Kurt, I believe my Bose Soundock has an audio input if we can't locate near your camper.
