Good things are:

Parts that you thought you'd need to build a teardrop but ended up not using.

Items that you've found that is handy when camping.

Camping related books and knick-knacks.

Anything that has to do with Dutch Ovens.

Pretty much anything you think somebody would want/need.

I am not pre-registered so I'd be one of those last minute stragglers but I'm doing my best to be able to make this trip. I'm about 80% certain I will make it but it all depends on if I can get away from my office Friday at lunch. If so, I will be there Friday evening (late) through Sunday.

I'm new to this also and I'd like to contribute in kind & spirit what is appropriate. Anyone care to give a guideline $$$ range on the door prize give-aways. Since I'm not pre-registered, is there any additional information that could be helpful to fit in?

Boy I can relate to that I went through that 2 weeks ago for our Turkey Run Gathering.
Mines far from done but it's road worthy still working on a little running lite issue, no brake lights.
As far as waterproof :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
But I'll be there.

Can someone tell me how far the electric and water hookups are in the main area so I'll now how much cord and hose to bring? At Turkey Run I was about 75' from the electric luckily I brought my long cord

I'm coming street legal and water resistant! I sure hope no one laughs. I vote we all park next to the Rocketear and no one will notice.

Scott if you are in the primative area bring the longest one you have.

That's a fine idea :thumbsup: I never thought of it that way they'll be to busy looking at the Rocketear to see what stages of construction I'm in.

I did find out at my first gathering nobody really cares they still said nice things. They might have been giggling when they walked away but hey I'm unique and they'll remember it :lol:

When I booked I told them the main campground, is there a chance I'll be in the primitive not that I really care, I'll be there.

Scott, if you requested the main campground. Then the main campground is where you'll be located.

KJ, you don't have to be pre-registered to participate in the raffle. But you do have to be registered. Bring anything teardrop or camping related of at least a $10 value.

You can read all about the Gathering at http://itg.teardrops.net/

I hate to be Gage again, but that's not the way it is written on the ITG2 web page or is suppose to be unless it has been changed.

Betsey, you have a PM.

When I registered they suggested that I go on the street with the T@bs because of the size of my unit. But is anyone else from here going to be on the street? If not, I'd sure rather be in the primitive area with everyone else.
