Resourcefulness is the great divider between excellence and mediocrity.

Teardrop Trailer

OK, most of you know that I'm an adiv outdoorsmen; enjoying things like geocaching, kayaking, backpacking, skiing, and mountian climbing. After we move to Seattle later this month, I've decided my new pet project is going to be building a Teardrop Trailer.

If you're not familiar with these relics of our nestolgic past, I've snagged the following description from www.teardrops.net:

In the most general terms, a teardrop trailer is a comfortable, convenient, and compact CAMPING TRAILER! Most often, it has a streamlined "teardrop" shape, especially the original types from the '30s, '40s, and early '50s. There is room for two people to sleep comfortably inside. And there is an area for cooking outside under the rear "hatch" or "galley lid".

Here is a couple photos I'll be basing my building plans on: http://tearsojoy.com/jessica.html

My URL points to a weblog-based discussion board, The Campfire, that's about teardrp trailers. It is membership only so you really can't just browse. However, unlike bigger message boards with a lot of novice builders, wannabes, and speculators., almost all the members at the Campfire already own trailers. Many of these are home-built. If you'd like to join, drop me a quick e-mail with your e-mail address and preferred password. I'll get you signed on within 24 hours.

My e-mail is pamelah@wilddog.com
