Gatlinburg anyone?

Hey y'all... I am not part of your region, I'm in Oklahoma and have dreams of teardrop trailers in my head !!
I had seen something about this get together and wondered if anyone from this board is part of it or attending... sounds like a good place.

I have E mailed him asking for more info.

I emailed Gary Weaver several weeks ago for more information on this and have had no luck. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun but he needs to give more info on this get together. I think I will pass on this one.

You know I saw this info posted on the E-bay site for the the "frameless teardrop plan guy" the other day when someone poeted the ebay listing for the plan

[oklahomajewel]

Yes, I had seen it on Gary Weaver's ebay listing too . Then I saw it on a different website, http://www.teardrops.net/destinations01.html

I did ask him a question about his ebay listing, and got an answer quick that way. He says on ebay that if you don't get an answer quick it's because he's out camping!

I can try to email him thru there again.... I'll give him a link and see if he'll post this about the get together. He lives in Murfreesboro, TN and it says "1st annual" so maybe he's the one coordinating it?

I have driven to NC many times, and never have seen the Biltmore estate (boohoo!) and that would be across the mountains but would be nice to make it there!
I know Gatlingburg/Pigeon Forge and all that area is supposed to have a Christmas store or some unique shoppes. That would be a good side trip too !

Hey Julie,

We are having our annual TearJerkers' Fall Crawl at Davidson River State Park in Brevard,NC in October. Check out the "Southern Appalachian Chapter *Fall Crawl 2005* in the Southeast section. We will be about 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estates and other attractions. We would love to have you come and join us for a weekend to remember. Lots of true fellowship and making new friends.

Julie, Come on out in October/ I recieved E mail from Gary and he stated that he expects about 20 campers. Did not specify if all were TDrs or not. Pointed him to our forum.

[oklahomajewel]

[b]Thanks y'all.....!!! I had gone to the ebay site and sent him an email too, and pointed him here not knowing if he has been on this site before or not.

I only have dreams of tears in my head so far, well and in a spiral notebook! Thanks for the invite... I *might* come anyway, don't know if I would tent camp or rent or what.... anybody need a roomie?
haha !!! 42, getting divorced, need a VACATION!!!!!!

When I get this house re-financed though, I think I'll set aside an extra couple thousand to get my "BREDBOX" started !
