The 20th Dam Gathering of the tears, May 1-5, 2013 ...!

[JaneV]

Hi All - I have arrived. The Redwoods are truly beautiful, I have gotten as far as Trinidad, Calif. and found a wonderful
campground amongst the ancient trees! Will roll into Antlers Camp on April 29th (Mon or Tues? )with my little dog Edward and Sophie the CampingCat.
Will do whatever I am told as far as getting a site early. ( I did the register and pay thing for Gathering already).

See you soon, Jane From Wyoming

Hello Grant, I have registered for this years gathering but have not received any sort of conformation other than my pay pal "donation" will I be given any conformation or just show up? Ill be there Thursday night driving down from BC Canada . Look forward to seeing all the cool trailers and people, my first time! Jay toms

Hi, Jay!

Yeah, we're running a bit late with the last batch of pre-registration confirmations ... they just keep coming in! We'll get 'em out, hopefully by this weekend!

Safe travels, happy camping, and as always ...

CHEERS!

We can hardly wait to meet you! Travel safe (take it nice & slow over Hwy 299 between Arcata & Redding ... it's beautiful, but can be treacherous if you are not paying attention), happy trails, and as always ...

CHEERS!

Hi Jane from Wyoming!!
You are right in the middle of our BIG backyard! Trinidad is lovely, quaint, artistic...gorgeous beaches and so many wonderful day tripping spots.
If you want any local's advice or are interested in having a meeting sometime later this week PM me if you want. Joanie

We are getting all packed up and will be there on Sunday. I hope you got out site reserved for us because I think we are going to need some electrical connections.

There's a teardrop trailer in this picture you just have to use your mind to imagine it.



We have a two page list of tools and parts to bring. We are sure hoping everything is in there.



See you all soon, Keith and the Five Wide Club

OOOOO, I sure could use that hacksaw.

Have fun

You really know how to hurt a guy. I would so much like to go. I would also like to see your trailer.

Oh, Randy, thank you. We'll meet each other one of these days in the near future, I'm certain. Maybe a half-way point in Nevada or who knows; but, somewhere, sometime.

We head up tue. will be in the boxkite. But it will have the wheels and tires from the new trailer on it so the cross bow will be here in some way.
Trying to get it all packed up so we can leave early and not get half way up in the dark last time we came to the KOA at dusk and almost missed it.
Once again we will be camping where we have not been before but this time I could first drive it on google map so I know what to look for.

See you all on the first. hopefully we will find a place close so we do not have to go over those speed bumps we are so low with the car it bottoms out on the speed bumps.

Ron and Lucia
