Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well, I finished my tear the last week of April and headed off to Shasta for the Dam Gathering!!! What a blast. The tear towed awesome and I met tons of great people. I finally downloaded some pictures and I wanted to share what a great time I had and thank everyone I met for such a great first gathering experience!! ...Grant & Lisa, Dean & Joanie, Pam, George, Doug, Ross, Dean, Sue, Lee, Martha, Gage, Bruce, Lydia, Ken, Guy, Dan, Kevin, Lane and the 5 Widers, and anyone else I'm forgetting...

My trip was from Colorado Springs to Ogden, UT to Shasta, CA to San Diego, CA to Hanksville, UT and back home again for a total of 15 nights!

First night in the tear in Wyoming with Pam


Stopped along the Salt Flats in Utah


TP'd at Shasta since I was a newbie!


Dean and me with the infamous 20" Dutch Oven!!!


Everyone thought I was crazy to bring my cats to Shasta...but, they seemed to do ok...Here's Ruby relaxing in the sun.


My first night camping on my own at the San Luis Reservoir.


I also wanted to thank Pam for being such an awesome traveling companion and I can't wait to do it again...

See you all in Minden!

Shelly, I'm glad you had such a great first trip. It was nice to meet you, Pam and George down in the Colorado section.

It was nice meeting you Shelly. Glade you enjoyed your first long trip with the tear. We'll see you again at Minden. Oh, did you happen to see this pic?

Wow Shelly. What a great story and trip. Thanks for the pictures. See you at Minden.

Hi Shelly,

It was nice to see you in Hanksville. You and Pam both have great trailers and sounds like you had a fun time on your travels. I'm envious that you are going to make it out to Minden and I'm staying home.

I'm quite upset though that you are an enabler for Deans cast iron addition! We should be trying to counsel him, not encourage his obsession! I'm sure he appreciated you bringing him his new "baby".

See you down the road,
Joanne

...glad to hear you hadda great "first time"...looking forward tohearing about future "Great Trips".........

congrats on your maiden voyage!!

Shelly,
I finally found time to get my hair cut since that shot.
You're the epitome of what teardropping is all about!!!

I have a cabled probe thermometer for the 20"er now and I'll be doing another prime rib with it in a few weeks.
Uh-Huh... Medium-Rare this time.
You and the cats have a great time at Minden!!!

Thanks Again!!!

Thanks Dean...I had a great time!

And keep me posted on how the prime rib comes out...practice makes perfect for IRG 2.0!!

Loved the trip report, the pics....and the cats!
