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

[S. Heisley]

Patience, Grasshopper. The pictures will come.... It was so busy and so packed with people that I forgot to use my camera; but, a lot of people did take pictures. If you can imagine 178 trailers and several tents on site; plus, all the local cabins rented out, it was a "party" like no other; so, please give people time to recuperate. While you'll probably start seeing pictures in a day or so, I'm sure that some people haven't even made it all the way home yet. We'll probably be seeing for weeks to come.

Happy Campers we were! Dean and I won the award for Happiest Camper(s) at the Gathering. Many thanks to Antlers, and event hosts/organizers, Grant & Kay, along with their wonderful support crew who made the Dam event a GREAT one!

We so appreciate all the good wishes, gifts, and blessings you bestowed upon Dean and I at our wedding and reception. There will be photos, and a video forthcoming, but we need to unpack and settle down. If someone gets a chance before I do, could you start a "Dam Wedding" thread where people can put up photos and let us see what YOU took of us on our special day. (Update....Thanks, Kirk, for starting that thread)

Thanks to all who helped, attended, and celebrated. IT WAS A DAM FINE TIME!

Did not take many pictures while I was at the Dam, but I did snap this one of Miss Piggy in the wild.

Grant & Kay,

Thanks we had a blast! Pine Wood Derby was fun, music was cool, glad to have caught up with old friends and made new friends along the way.

I'll have to say that I had a blast a the Dam Gathering. We spent a week there partially because we were setting up to build a teardrop trailer during the event. I'm happy to say that the teardrop trailer is no longer for sale. The teenage boy helping us with the build is Anthony, Norman's nephew. He expressed an interest in building a teardrop trailer on the way home. We made him a deal to buy it with his summer earnings. It was a kind of relief because we have never sold one of our trailers before. All of the trailers we have built have been for friends and family so this one is staying in the family!!!!!

It was really fun hearing some of the comments while we were building the trailer. One gentleman said that it was good to see our guys getting a working vacation. He was surprised when he found out that we do this type of work for a living that we were all building the trailer for the fun of it.

I would like to thank everyone for allowing us to share our hobby and play time with you.

FIVE WIDE !!!!! That was an amazing build. Every time I went by in the wedding "shuttle" I had to stop and show my girlfriend the progress as I tried to explain what you metal gurus were doing. Glad it went to a good home where you can see it often.

And please pass on more thanks to Sarah H. for being such a darling flower girl.
Did anyone in your group get some individual pictures of her? If so, I'd love to have one posted so I can make a copy for my wedding album.
All the best to the Five Wide

Hi Debbie & Randy
IT was so nice to finally meet you guys!
And Thanks for helping out the "Gathering Newbies" with all the little things that we forgot to put on our camping list.
We had enough Toilet Paper to get us all the way home!
Looking forward to seeing you guys again some time in the near future.
