Greeting to Bill, Dan & Julie!

I know, a little slow on the uptake.... I am in southern Colorado just west of Pueblo. Looks like you guys have a good start on your projects!

Please let me know if I can assist in any way!

Are you folks planning on attending ITG3 in Minden? You could pick up a a WHOLE bunch of ideas at the gathering as well as meet quite a few of the folks from here in Colorado!

George like you I posted and then realized original thread was posted weeks
ago, anyway better late than never good to know our teardrop neighbors.
unfortunately we won't be able to go to the meeting
we are hoping by the end of the summer for maiden voyage and thank you for the offering of your experience I might need to bend your ear at sometime. thanks again

Dan and Julie,

You don't have to have a teardrop to attend a teardrop gathering....

I attended MANY gatherings while sleeping in the van, using a tent, a small travel trailer, etc. I was welcomed everywhere without reservation.

When I first decided to host the International Teardrop Gathering [ITG for short], the main idea was for everyone to have the ability to LOOK at TEARDROPS. You will be amazed at how many variations on a theme can be used in a teardrop trailer. I keep a notepad in the galley because there is never a day spent while out in the teardrop that I don't come up with some new [for me]idea.

Teardroppers welcome you to explore their teardrops. I don't know how many folks have crawled into my teardrop and ended up having long discussions about design possibilities. Several people just plain and simple ended up taking naps while they were in there....

So, that being said, one of the main reasons that I picked Pioneer Village as the location for ITG was that it boasted not only a campground, but three motel buildings. So... if you can get away for a long weekend, come on up to Minden June 18-21 and join us!

Hi George,
I'd like to go to the Minden Campout, however I don't think I'll have the time this year, but you never know. Sure is tempting. Would be fun to check out all the different tears. My wife still has reservations about them. May be the one down by the Royal Gorge in September.
