Gawd Dam it... Merry Christmas... and, DAM it, I gotta make this one!

It's pictures of the first 10 Dam Gatherings that sparked my research into building a dam teardrop... and I found those through a link posted on a DAM car forum of all places... then I found another link from this dam dude in Idaho... some dam "programmer" or so he called his dam self. Mike B's his dam name and I own him a huge dam debt of gratitude!

I'm so dam'd into this hobby now... it's even spread to those dam gas pressure *cough* Coleman *cough* lanterns and dam stoves!

My dam trailer is half-built. I hope I can dam well finish in time for this dam Dam gathering... otherwise, I gonna tow it up as a dam .5-teardrop wagon.

Looking forward to April! and a dam good time! :dancing

:campfire:

UPDATE!

We'll be having a very special guest at this year's Dam Gathering ... Mary Vandusen from Arizona! She's a nationally famous ceramics artist (and teardropper, BTW!) who has become widely known in the Southwest teardrop community for her stunning Teardrop-related and Gathering-specific commemorative ceramic mugs & cups:

Image

She'll have quite a few items with the 18th Dam Gathering inscriptions on them, so if you want to start your collection (or even add to it!) of these fine pieces of very utilitarian artwork (I use mine almost every day!), don't miss this opportunity ... come prepared to purchase one (or several)!

And, Thank You, Mary! for deciding to come to the Dam Gathering this year ... I'm sure you will have a great time ... :thumbsup: ...!

CHEERS!
