Sorry I didn't check this list earlier, but
Cory H and "Joey"-dog were in 259 with a 1972 12' Compact Jr. ("Moosehead Lodge")
and Karen L. and "Chase"-dog were in 206 (next door) with a 1984 13' Burro.

Did I miss seeing another Compact Jr.--Amber Rose?

Was a great time!!! Weather wasn't bad either!! Karen L.

Hi everyone. We all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed meeting new egg owners and visiting with friends. Maureen and I checked out the group area and it looks promissing. There are 18 full hook up sites plus 4 electric / water sites. There is a reserved shelter and bath house. To make reservations start January 1 for next year. Not sure about overflow trailers. Thanks for the suggestion.

Chuck,
Please write and let us know what happened with Deb's Doctor's visit. How good or BAD was it and what will need to be done?
I am still in SHOCK and AMAZED at the determination and COMPLETE LACK of whining on Frontier Woman's part...she's unreal..Super Camper!

We appreciate you two so much and are keeping our fingers crossed that the Doctor may let Deb go to the Bandon meet!
Hugs,
Barbara & Stephen

PS CHUCK,
Stephen surprised me, and when I returned home today, my Baby Girl, was nice and white and sitting in my driveway. He WASHED her (and says, "Thanks to CHUCK!!!")

Thank you for the good company. The weekend was "just right".

[LoriF]

Dave and I really are really enjoying camping with you all! We hope to make it to another gathering late summer or fall.

[bbuehler]

Good to hear that you might NOT REQUIRE surgery. That is wonderful NEWS...you are indeed 'MY FRONTIER WOMAN" and win the 2011 AWARD for Hardiest Camper Alive!!!!!!
I've got my fingers crossed and lots of good thoughts flowing that new bone growth has already started for YOU!!!!

[Possum]

OK, it was a little of a rush job but I got it put together and you get the idea. I have to apologize for perhaps not getting everyone or possibly not getting everyone's trailer in but this being our first gathering I wasn't sure who was who and what was what. This was a real hoot for us and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves meeting all of you and sharing everything and anything about fiberglass RV life. We look forward to many more! If this is not the place to post this please let me know and I (or you) can move it around. Thanks again for the great time.

Hello Kim,
BAG THE APOLOGIES!!!
You have captured well Taidnapum's "spirit of place" and the wonderful collection of crampers who gathered last weekend. What a thoroughly DE-BLEEPIN-LIGHTFUL piece of video. ABUNDANT THANKS for posting. I've posted it to my Facebook site ("SHAREN HEATH") and shared it with friends who wonder what we do while we are cramping.

I especially love the images of Roger and Chuck in their buffalo plaid caps. 'spect we'll be seeing more of them in the future. And Barbara Buehler's appealing enthusiasm is apparent as well. What a hoot! INDEED!!!

Simon and I look forward to meeting again.
Thanks again for the video... Til we meet again, yes, happy trails to you!

Below is a link to my Picasa Album that features a mixed bag of images (some from me; some from our friendTucker) from last weekend's TAIDNAPUM glass egg gathering. LOTS of fun... thanks to all who contributed to the festivities, and special thanks to MA NATURE for the good weather. We got lucky!

To Chris & Maureen's post about TAIDNAPUM'S GROUP SITE, Simon and I checked it out, and while it's not something we're used to, we'd like to give it a try. Are you thinking of June 2012? We do like that it puts our glass egg group away from the, er, stickie riff raff, AND very appealing is the large, open-sided pavillion for gatherings. Surely it's worth giving it a try, so count us in if that's what the group desires for next June.

And one more thang... ditto Barbara's remarks about one-armed frontier woman, Deb! Deb, we continue to think warm thoughts for you. HEAL THY SHOULDER! Hoping everything goes well. Do let us know.

Thanks again to the organizers. Where was Greg Finke? We missed you Greg!

Cheers all,
Sharen Heath

Kim! As Sharon said, bag the apologies! When I first saw it on her Facebook page, I asked who the professional photographer was! You did a superb job of capturing the meet, made me feel warm fuzzies both times I watched it!! Didn't realize this was your first meet, hope you make many more!! Just wish I'd of thought of my Bear joke @ the potluck! Loved the photo of Burro (my Burrito!!) Thanks for such a happy addition & memory!

Thank you all for making our first molded fiberglass trailer rally a great experience. We learned a lot, saw some cool trailers, but most importantly we made some great new trailer friends. We look forward to attending more rallies!
