Are there any teardroppers out there interested in a get together in the Missouri Bootheel. (Kennett, MO)?
If so let me know and maybe I can set it up.
Thanks
Phil

I'd be interested in a get-together anywhere near Missouri. I haven't started building yet but getting very close. I'd show up with tent and sleeping bag if need be. Let's keep working on this - I'll help organize if you need it.

Heck yeah! The bootheel is not all that far from me at all. Let's get together.

Destin Dave, if you came with no more than a sleeping bag, you wouldn't be able stay the entire weekend. That's because after seeing everyone else's tears, you'd be chomping at the bit to get home and get started on your own teardrop.

:lol:

Okay!

Here's the deal. I will start on this Monday norming. We have the Delta Fair grounds right here in town and the chamber of commerce has some spots they rent out to those airstream guys about once a year. I'll get all the particulars and post them Monday.

Thanks
Phil

David... I'd spend most of the weekend looking and adding to the confusion in my mind's eye... I fall asleep envisioning plans, wake up with new ideas and sketch them out. Every time I think I know what I want to do I find another website and add to my folders. It's a sickness I tell you. Is there a 12-Step program for teardroppers? I need more... I can't stop! Teardroppers Anonymous, HELP! :lol:

Actually by June, I should be well enough along that I might even show up with "The Salty Tear"... Or at least a damn good start... :worship:

Where did I get June from? Maybe Minden gathering... Hmmm - mind-clutter again... Let me know when - I'll be there regardless.

I may join you, depending on what time of year it is. I'm planning a trip down to Nashville to visit my folks in the next few months (nothing definate yet), and could change my route a little (normally run across I-70), if the timimg is right.

Haven't started my tear yet, but getting close. Really need to get going if I am going to take it to Minden! Got the wood for the pattern and sides last week, and have been cleaning out the basement to get ready to start building. The weather this last week has been great (50's-60's) so I have been catching up on some outdoor work instead of starting on the tear, but it's supposed to cool off again tomorrow, so I hope to start making sawdust.

MO Gathering

Although I'm from NV I'll be on a road trip in the fall and a stop over in MO during mid Oct would be a great break. Any other time would be a long trip for me. I'll watch for your dates! :NC

That would be a blast I am trying to get mine done in time for the Minden event and the end of August but I may have a scheduling conflict that weekend so I may be interested in such an event depending on when.
