Very cool!!! :applause:


You can drive down there any day and see them the ewes. About Thanksgiving with some poking around you can see rams busting heads.

A remarkable place.

Hi Tony,

I got a question about Monstaliner quantity. What was the amount of liner per square foot spent on your build?
I am considering of spraying it with a Shultz type gun which should be OK according to their website, but wanted to figure out a real world estimate based on your experience.

Thanks!

Oleg:

I can’t give you a square footage, but it took 2-1/2 gallons using their rollers.

She’s 5’ wide, 10’ long and 4’ high.

Thanks Tony, that's good enough for a ball park estimate.

Woaaaa!!!

Typo. 1.5 gallons, not 2.5

I hope I didn't cost you some money.

Thought I'd show off my three favorite 2020 teardrop photos so far.

We've been using the Propex heater more than I expected so far but it was a cool June. Headed for a lake at 8'400 this week so it'll probably get some use.

Great photos!
We have made the trek up i15, through Idaho, a few times to visit my in-laws in Missoula MT.
Once I get my own teardrop finished, I hope to take some more leisurely trips that way, and take a few photos of my own! :pictures:

All beautiful, but I think I like this one best. Huge skyline with white capped mountains, and the angle of the shadow under the tear imparts a sense of motion in that direction. Well composed!

That's heading into the Big Lost country. A good place to get lost.

We'll be eyeballing Poet Creek from the lookout month. Wanna stop by?

You may want to research the (ever changing) rules in the states you'll travel through. Things are getting "hot" down here in the Southwest, and Governors and the State Police are pretty actively trying to discourage non-commercial out of state travel (in or out). Guess it may not be as bad up North. :NC

I just sold my old black Jeep to a nice young lady (CH53 helicopter mechanic and former marine, hoorah) from California. She flew commercially to Florida for a family event, flew here, bought the Jeep and drove off to DC for her first night stop. Then she headed across country for Washington state, to eventually get back to SoCal.

She hasn't mentioned any hassles as yet. YMMV. :shrug:

Another fine trip at an extra-lonely lake somewhere along the Continental Divide. :thumbsup:

It's good to know the Propex heater doesn't hiccup at 8400'.

:thumbsup:
