hello from Sunny Calgary

[drhill]

I did allot of reading and viewing pictures on this forum before and during my teardrop build. I didn't start a build journal right away in case I never finished the project or it looked like garbage. I think it looks presentable and is sure functional for us so have posted a few pictures. I'll attempt to link to the (post)build journal.

It all started about a year and a half ago. My parents relocated from Saskatoon to Westbank downsizing considerably in the process. I ended up with an old boat trailer and a box full of clamps. Turns out the bearings on the trailer were worse than shot, one axle end was overheated and blued, the other end had a stripped nut. Sure glad it didn't come apart in Roger's Pass. First job was to weld on new stubs but when unbolting the axle, thats when I noticed two cracks in the frame. I kept the tongue jack, safety chains and the licence plate. Oh well, It got me started anyway.

Looks top notch work. Might hit you up for some info on camping spots for our 2016 trip. Going through Yellowstone, to Calgary, then off to visit friends in Alaska.

On your trip North you should "not" miss a trip thru the Okanagan Valley (the Crown Jewel of all of Canada) & the # 3 Wine destination in the World. In Comparison the Napa Valley is # 7.
Sandi & I host a Tear Jerkers Gathering here ( The Farm Gathering July 16 - 19th, 2015) and we have FREE camping and a friendly campfire for any Teardrop campers that would like to stop in for a visit as they pass through the Okanagan Valley.
Look forward to meeting you!

Brian - I will likely be in Kelowna sometime in later January and if I have time, and you do too, I would like to meet you and see your fine work on Miss Piggy and Kermit.

I'll PM you when I know when I am going to be in Westbank.

Sounds Great!
Yes, PM me with the dates.
