New Guy from Utah

[LowGear]

I have been lurking in the forums for a short time now. There seems to be a lot of really useful information and friendly folks willing to share their experiences.
I got interested in TD's recently after a trip with some friends to Tuweep Arizona. (Grand Canyon) 60 miles of dirt road, one way, to the campground and overlook. I towed a friends TD in and out. I really liked the galley he had set up.
I have often thought of a utility trailer to keep all of my camping stuff together and ready to go. This little TD seemed to fit the bill. I like the idea of it being ready to go and basically setup when I arrive at camp.
I am looking forward to future discussions in these forums.

Hi LowGear
Welcome to the forum. I too wanted something easy to hook up to the vehicle, easy to tow,and easy to set up. I started mine in Sept 05. Just working on it when I can. I am hoping to have it completed by October
for the Louisiana Cypress Gathering. I went in Oct 05, used a tent and had a great time. Hope you enjoy the forum and start a build .

Welcome LowGear! I'm another Utahn who also wanted an easy camp setup (just park and pull out the folding chairs!) We just got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon, too. We hit the South Rim and encountered way too many people. I think next time we go there we'll find a dirt road to explore. Dust and washboards seem to weed out a lot of tourists

Tell us more about what you're thinking of building. We're a curious bunch here (in more ways than one ) and especially love pictures! By the way, what part of Utah are you in? I'm in the Salt Lake area.

Oh Lowgear, you almost got by me. Welcome to the playground. I hope we can help with your dream teardrop. As Jeanette said "we love the pictures". Besides it keeps the bubble oil level.

Enjoy

Hello. I am in Southern Idaho. I went to Tuweep in summer 2002 and had one of the 2 camp sites on the rim. What an amazing place to camp. Then I seen that National Geograhic ( or someone) published a book "100 places you must see" and one of the pics on the cover was taken within an easy stone throw of my camp.

Hey LowGear,

A bunch of us are meeting in Hanksville this weekend. If you've never seen tears up close, this is your opportunity. We'll be doing some Dutch Oven cooking too so it's a great excuse to show up to visit...and eat.
