Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well, we are finally getting close. We have an overnight 4 X 4 trip this weekend and then we bring cupcake (our teardrop) to the house and start getting ready for the IRG. Just got a new water can holder for the the trailer and plan to mount it next week and then make sure we are packed up and ready to go. We are taking a round about way of getting there but it will be fun. We leave on Friday and go to Ely NV then on to Carson City to see folks and then some camping at Eagle Lake and then off to the redwoods. After the IRG (hate thinking about leaving) we are going down the coast and then back to the desert and more work.

It is going to be hard to get used to our temps again after being up north. It was 104 this morning when I went riding. Yeah, I'm ready for some shade and cooler temps.

Enjoy your trip

This person was next the red stripe one and it is a green stripe cloth too.
Hope some once can tell us who they are too.
next to them was a CampInn Raindrop

The rain drop is one of my favorite mfged TD

I probably do not need to put a name next to this one
does that give you a hint.

Roly's 1/2 Nelson

pictured are Roly and his Brother Inky. It was Inky's first stay in a TD and he went home to build one.

I have a shot of the front of his trailer but forgot to download it onto my Gallery. Yes all these photographs can be view on my Gallery. I also have Many of the photo's of Vintage trailers to from the last 2 yrs of the Vintage trailer show in Pismo CA. For those who want to build a standy.

The 1947 Kit with the green stripe awning was mine. It has since been sold.

This is the front of Roly's trailer

here is the next trailer Fred Group

Kitchen is stated over the Galley but if I remember it is their name


Tomorrow is my birthday....
So I will put in ones of my trailer.
Most places when you eat out and you tell them it is your birthday or annv. you get a free pc of cake or pie I have even heard of a free meal I'll be older??

We look more like a cabin in the woods then one of those fancy units, Built with a basic low budget, it has taken years for the BoxKite to become a much improved simple trailer. It has no Galley the advantage is I can use it as a small utility trailer if we want. Our Kitchen sits outside. We did not set up for show so much as to camp in most people walked pasted but it was not out front People more saw Lucia cooking in her kitchen and said high as they passed. And that is why i say we are just a cabin in the woods with a pretty paint job and a wood stained rear hatch.

This is what you saw when you walked by us. Lucia Cooking. Our Trailer is shy.
Just a basic woods shot ..... hmmm what is that that is blocking your view
If I had just steeped back a little more you would have got an idea who big that tree to the right is. You can also see my failed swing out table Just the siing out bumper remains.
we liked the set up we had room to do our Dutch Oven cooking

Above... if you are real Quiet you can see BoxKite she is sleeping now. if she wakes up she will run around behind the kitchen and HIde. she woke up see I told you she would hide!!
Now sing this song
"Its my birthday and, I will play if I want to, play if I want to, Play if I want to, and one day it will happen to you!":P
Now here is a real cabin in the woods
the IRG Kitchen

they should say July, 2010 I am jumping the gun a little.

Some times it helps to say it just to give them a pat on the back They have worked so hard up to now and now have to work on loose ends.

Thank you for doing such a great job. ..... I know it is not just you two that there are many people working on this to make it all work.

I applaud your intentions, but "Tiny" is spelled with one "n" not two ;-)

International redwoods gathering. Held every two years in the great state of Jefferson (northern Cali, just south of Oregon) home of the giant redwoods. This year there will be 125 trailers. Coming up in two weeks, thus the increased irg chatter. This will be our first irg, but have been to several gatherings with many of the same great folks so I know it will be fabulous. For more info including videos of past events, go to the top of this forum and under "teardrop friendly websites). Choose Pamplona grove. That is where irg is held and the website dedicated to it.

Anybody got some suggestions for a campsite enroute to IRG, I'm heading South from Portland and should be ready to stop South of Cave Junction but before the California State Line. Showers would be a good item to include.

Thanks

John

Hi John, I'm doing the same thing. I have a reservation for Wednesday night, the 25th, at a place called Panther Flat. Since we are now able to get into the grove on Wednesday, I'm thinking about pushing through. When are you leaving? I would be happy to let you have my spot if I don't use it, but I might not know until early Wednesday afternoon. Or we could share if they will let us have two tears in one spot. I already reserved for two vehicles, but my friends(in a tent) had to cancel.
Let me know what you think. Panther flat is just a bit across the border and I think under Reserveamerica.
And they have showers.

I guess now I am a little older and a little wiser
here is a shot of Ken's trailer closed up with Doug's rocketear in the back ground Doug came in his new Standy which you will see later
The next trailer the owners name again you need to help me out with

It is great that other are using this site to communicate with others over how where and special places to go.
