John,
So glad to see you got your tear finished and out camping! Great photos..I even tried your teardrop chat room but since I was the only there, had to talk to myself:) Looks like you had a great time and it looks really good!

Where did the leak in your tear originate? We've never been out in ours in the rain yet, so who knows....

Isn't Cloudcroft the best place.....You are lucky to be so close. We used to go to Cloudcroft 4 or more times a year. Took the Coca Cola Teardrop there last summer. Wouldn't it be a great place for a teardrop gathering. Love the pics. Thanks,

cool lookin' trailer. Cloudcroft brings back memories from earlier years. I was raised in Hobbs, NM. We went deer huntin' every year in the Lincoln National Forest. We turned off the highway at a little hiccup in the road called High Rolls just a few miles west of Cloudcroft. Then it was a 22 mile trip on a harrowing jeep road south to Joplin Ridge. Elevation there was 9 or 10,000 feet or so. Above the timberline and thin air. We could easily see all of White Sands below us. At night we could see the lights of Las Cruces and El Paso. Some good friends also from Hobbs NM owned the Cloudcroft Inn there. I can still smell the air and hear the wind in the trees to this day. I live in Austin these days. Maybe a trip in my new little camper to Cloudcroft would be nice. Great pics on your site.

I used to go up to Cloudcroft every weekend to get out of the desert when I lived in Alamagetto. Was stationed at Holloman for two years. Cloudcroft was nice, it was the closest thing to real weather you could get around there, but the town pretty much sucked.

Have just time now to answer the reply. Coldcroft was a real great place did not know this many people new about it. That will be a nice place for a get together. Maybe we can plan a trip there. JUst let me know when.

Thinking about adding a bike rack on the TD as any one done that. any comments. Well have to go now .
