Very nice Teardrop. My only question is what are you going to name this one?

Ricky, We've ben thinking on the name... but it just hasn't come around yet. I guess it will in time..... Have you been able to start on yours yet?

Sharron, thanks!

MK, We've got a week before we leave and still have not heard anything from the Highway Patrol about coming to inspect it..... if not, we'll be in the DragonFly.

It's funny that when I showed Rhonda your posting, I said that with that color green, the name would almost have to be something with turtles in it. She said no, that would have to be ours, because it will be so long before we will start/finish ours!

Rick, Thanks for the comments. We can't wait to get back to FCP. We're staying a week this time. We're also going to the Quetico Provincial Park in the Boundary Waters in August for a 10 day canoe trip. ADK reminds me a lot of that area up there. And your right, I couldn't have built it without Pat!

Doug, There's been a lot of sittin and drinkin and starin at this one.... mostly trying to figure out what to do next! It's been a fun build, but I'm at that point where I really want it to just be finished :lol: . It will be finished before the LCG, but doesn't look like we will get it inspected in time to take it. Oh well, the DragonFly is still ready to roll.

Another day closer.....

Fenders are mounted, aluminum trim all installed, weather stripping is on, vent is installed, stereo and speakers are in.....

The Highway Patrol is supposed to call in the morning about the inspection, so there may still be hope to take it to the LCG.
