Any teardroppers?
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2013 10:48 pmHey, gals! I thought this might be a fun place to hang out from time to time. I'm Crystal, turned 51 this month, and my husband and I are the parents of 3 children: 24, 23, and 21. We live in southern IL, and can be in Indiana or Kentucky within an hour, and in St. Louis in 2 hours.
I grew up camping with my mom in her various trailers. Dad wasn't much of a camper. His thing was racing, as he owned an Offenhauser Midget. Hubby camps with me from time to time, but about 60% of the time it's just me. Our middle child loves to camp, but doesn't live near us. She and I went to the east coast last year. Our oldest, a son, camps as well. The youngest not so much. lol I am a member of Sisters on the Fly, and attend about 3 or 4 events a year with them. They're a hoot.
I began camping in a small Shasta, then a larger Shasta with a full back bath, and twin beds, and then as our kids were growing we were in a 28' Holiday Alumalite MH. I'm having a ton of fun in my little T@B "standie" teardrop. I've had Daisy for four summers and have taken two 2-week trips. I long to head south or west for extended stays, but until I retire that's not possible. I do plan to spend vacation days in bulk in a couple of years in order to spend a month in FL in January. We take a big family group vacation to Destin every July currently.
I hate not getting out in my little trailer through the winter (although I try to go at least once monthly if we get a bout of nice weather). I am currently getting her ready of our little town's night Christmas parade. I entered two years ago and won 1st in my category
We're Green Bay Packer fans, and I'm a finalist in the "Coolest Packer Wheels" and are awaiting the announcement of the winner! Daisy has a Packers theme during football season. We took her up there last month for some serious tailgating!
I'll try to read the forum and find out what ya'll have been up to!

The rivalry we had was always fun ... and still ongoing.
