Yes I may be interested. Have any of the Northwesterners met, do people know each other? I'm in Tacoma, my cargo trailer is functional, still a work in progress, it's a fun hobby. I'm new to this group and I want to meet other people with small trailers who like me like the outdoors.

Hi gals, I have a lot to do as the school year gets off to a start,but if you aren't too far away, I would be game to drop in for a visit. Just can't do an overnight at the moment. So, I'll keep watching the thread...

Hey Susan welcome!

Turns out my nice and nephew want me to go with them, so I am out of the running for Labor Day, but there are some of us going to Champoeg sate park in oregon the weekend of the 8th, if you are interested let me know and I can tell you where our sites are, this one is all women, not all teardrops, but two tears, two tiny trailers, and some other women. There is also the Fall Brigade in Mollola the end of the month. You can look that one on on this forum, I think it says TOW line. There is also the Lynden meet the weekend of the 8th and that is supposed to be VERY cool.

Watch this forum for the TOW line, that will keep you up to date, and there will be Potlucks in Albany, and one in south seattle in the winter so you can meet people even without your trailer. Some of the events are tears only, but some are all tiny trailers in general.

Hi Maureen and Birdz1;
I think I can make the Oregon camping on the weekend of Sept. 8th. I'll check it how, I don't know how far the campground is. I would love to meet other camping women. :)
Thanks
Susan

Hi Byrdz1
We are still at home working on the trardrop.
Had hoped to be out on the road by this weekend......but still not finished!
Could be out by the 8th????
We plan to leave Canada and head south along the Olympic Penninsula and into Oreogon.
Soooooooo maybe we can join you, even if it is an all womens group (Sandi fits the bill, but she won't drive the 46 Stude)
I promise to be on my best behavior if we can make it.

I am in site 35A there are others around me.

I think we can absorb the lone male, as long as you promise to be good... Oh and take out the trash (Kidding)

Looks like the park is booked, but you may want to check out reserve america and check to be sure if I am right. It would be a little cozy, but maybe you can call the park and see if tears can share if the cars are parked in extra car parking, check on that and if it can work let me know.

I agree with Byrdz, if the campground will let us we can cozy up and fit in a couple of extra tears. You too, Susan, if you can make it. We will be there Friday, the 7th and saturday, the 8th. It should be about a 3 hour drive (it's about 45 minutes south of Portland) 15 mins. South if you're Byrdz, ;) I'm in A36.

Ok I just booked a site 28B and will be down Friday night after work.
I'll send a message with my e-mail and phone if that's ok.
Look forward to meeting you and other campers. I have a blue 5x8 wells cargo trailer.
Take care
Susan

Sounds good, our timing will be about the same, but we're closer. We are in loop A, but still not too far. Just wander on over when you get in.
