Prices are the same as last year $16 or S-XL and $18 for 2XL and up. Dash plaques are $2 but if you order two or more shirts you will get one free. The shirts will be waiting for you when you arrive, but if you want them sooner I will be able to ship them for cost via USPS. I will be able to make a limited number of shirts at um]the event but the price will increase by a few bucks.
I can take pay pal or credit cards. PM me if you want to order

I drove 700 miles to the 10th Dam Gathering, and what a blast it was. Until that time, I had never met another teardropper, and I was welcomed at Shasta by all, with open arms. Since them, I have attended Shasta as often as i can, and will be there again this year, attending with another one of my "thinking-out-of-the-box" teardrop trailers. This one has no woody sides, no doors, no openable windows, no alum roof or sides, has probably the best view of the the night-time stars, of any teardrop. It has no squae corners, or curved surfaces, is the most areodymanic design ever designed, (and this is an undisputed fact), has a 7 foot bed, with a 4 foot wide comfortable mattress, (in the event there are some lonely, 80 year-old chicks, wanting a quiet, comfortable place to read cookbooks, compose letters to their great-grand-kids, or send love letters to other old timers, in fearless comfort).

This rig, has and a full-blown, hidden galley hatch, conceaing the hidden, eye-ball high cabinets, and knee-high pot and pan storage compartments, which no one knows are there. This year, I am looking forward to touching bases with many of my friends, that I have met over the years, and meeting other new friends who share the same interests as I do. Since none of us know how much longer our candle will burn, we gotta take advantage of these opprotunities as ofen as they exist. There is just something special about teardrop trailer folks, always friendly, never judgemental and oh so helpful.

If you have never attended the Shasta experience, you don't know what you are missing. Campers are scattered as remote as they choose, some are back to back, sharing the same table with friends, others, choosing to select more remote camp sites, scattered in the secluded woods, under the shade trees and moon light. Every campsite is unique, busy with friends, or quietly secluded, you choose. We all wander about, checking out the unique trailers, and are always greeted with smiles and open conversaton.

Shasta is special, attend it if you can, you will never regret it and you will make so many friends, you will lose count.

I agree with Roly!
We can't wait to get there to see the friends we made last year at our first Dam Gathering!
And Roly tops that list!
8 more sleeps before we leave.

Roly may have just talked me into it

[GuitarPhotog]

I wouldn't miss it for anything. I won't have my teardrop this year because of back issues, but I'll be there.

With beer

Planning on driving on up trailer in tow. Still trying to get in touch with Antlers, but no prob if I can't get in as I will just continue on up to visit my daughter in Portland. I had a great time at Perris (14 hours on the road) so 4hrs to Shasta should be easy... Have family stuff on the first, but plan on leaving the northbay early Fri morning... and with only 2 casinos on the way (you know, for the free coffee and clean restrooms) we should reach Antlers around noon.
