OREGON 2006: Thanks to EVERYONE!!!!

[Gina D.]

Hello to all that attended the "Sturgis" of Fiberglass trailers this weekend!

I had an absolutely wonderful time meeting everyone and seeing ALL your trailers! Such a creative group of folks, and all in one place.. it never ceases to amaze me how simple ideas can make the richest comforts!

Finally meeting most of you guys was great. Putting faces with the names, and "Off Board" stories has made all of you pop out of my laptop and now you are "3D" in my mind.

Special thanks to Nancy, who did a wonderful (and stressful) gig. Ellen, Donna, and all the others, thank you so much for welcoming me and opening your trailers and fridges to the poor little tented waif. I felt like such a homeless critter, but only because I didn't have a crunchy roof, not because I didn't feel at home.

Fred and Robert,.. thanks for the gear transport and sublet. Without you packing my junk around and putting up with my space invasion, It would not have been as easy to meet all these wonderful folks.

Everyone, I hope you have/had a great and uneventful trip home.

PS.. I don't need to eat for a month!!!!

Hope to see you next year!

Gina: thank you so much for welcoming me and opening your trailers and fridges to the poor little tented waif. I felt like such a homeless critter, but only because I didn't have a crunchy roof, not because I didn't feel at home.

None of my beeswax, Gina, but did your Burro run off ?

[Gina D.]

You know how stubborn Burros can get.. he got mad and ran!!!

No! I did not have the time to tow up, so I flew in for a long weekend. (YES!!! There is a real airport at Coos Bay..) The big Tin Eskimo to the rescue!!!

Fred and Robert toted up my tent and a small camping box with my essentials for me. (Since they were coming that way anyway )

I had all I needed to have a small private and comfortable sleeping space with my own "suff", but.. yeah, I missed the luxurious expanse of my rig.

[Nancy in Oregon]

Yes, Donna D. lied through her teeth to me about having a "lunch date" in Coos Bay on Thursday afternoon. Then, she went to pick up Gina D. at the airport in North Bend. What a wonderful surprise!!!!! Thank you for coming to the Gathering, Gina! And, thank you for everyone who made her trip and stay possible.

I am sooooo grateful I didn't have to tell that "story" twice...my momma taught me to tell the truth, that way you never have to remember what you said....whew...isn't that a fact!

But, what am I going to do if I REALLY do have to leave the Gathering to have lunch with a friend

[Reace]

What an excellent weekend! Long drive....but it was great to be able to meet everyone and now I can put a face to a name.

Glad to hear all is well with your daughter Nancy! Scary business.

It was neat to see all the upgrades and modifications and especially the trailers that had been brought back to life.

I look forward to doing it again next year, but with the whole family.

Thanks again for the invite!

I was so happy to finally meet you as well. You do make a fine product.

Hi All, What a great weekend. I had so much fun and I also loved seeing more of you to put faces with the names. Taylor and I made it home and had a great trip north. Gina what a treat to finally meet up with you and lend you my bike to trek around on. I am really looking forward to next year already.

Fiberglass trailers what a great way to connect together and make lasting friendships with such a small initial commonality. What we find is depth of character and great generosity amoung ourselves. Thank you all once more for your gift of sharing.
