Hi George & welcome!
There are several active teardroppers throughout Minnesota. There is a Minnesota/Wisconsin teardrop group called St. Croix Chapter of Tearjerkers. Lori E. (Minnesota) and I (Wisconsin) co-direct it. Tearjerkers is an international teardrop camping group with several chapters throughout the United States. If you are interested in joining, membership is free. To become a member, go here:

To see what's going on in our area, go to the St. Croix Chapter section

I keep a current listing of Chapter gatherings posted in the St. Croix Chapter section under the heading "2010 St. Croix Chapter Gatherings."
