Pennsylvania Newbie

[SunsOwnlife]

Hello, everyone! My name is Bill and as the subject states, I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm 30 years old going on 85 and am excited to join such a vast community of creative folks! I've been heavily involved with music (website link in my signature) my whole life and gave it a solid chase (setting up own tours, licensing music, etc) but have noticed lately that my drive to "make it" has grown tiresome and my priorities are shifting. With that said, I'm back in college for web design/development, but still have a creative void that needs to be fulfilled. I love camping (Raystown Lake in Pennsylvania is one of my favorite spots in the world) and have dreams to live off-grid one day. After seeing pictures of a build my friend from high school finished a few years ago, I was inspired to create a teardrop trailer. I sat on the idea for quite some time, but am now finally moving forward with it. I'm currently in my planning stage of the project and want to start building by September. Any advice or tips are highly appreciated and I look forward to meeting new people. Thanks for reading!

As is told all the newbies..... Go to a gathering !

Talking with the tiny trailer folk and viewing their creations and modifications can get you a ton of good ideas. It may save you from several mis-starts and pitfalls.

The Penn chapter of tearjerkers is very active and I am sure one of them will chime in and invite you to their next gathering.

I went looking for you and it looks like the next one is just around the corner....

Thanks for the insight! Do I need to create a new profile in order to use the Tearjerkers forum?

Hey Bill where are you in PA?

The TearJerkers is a separate forum from this, so you'll have to register there to see all the happenings. Liberty Bell Chapter (PA) has 2 more official gatherings this year: Knoebels in September, and Raystown in October.

Maybe we'll see you at one of them!
