We’ve been looking for a Teardrop trailer for almost a
year. Little did we know that Richard,
from Oklahoma, had begun building it for us last August (Richard didn’t know it
either!) When he finished it, in March, he let us see what it looked like by posting it on Facebook
Marketplace. He and his wife, Deborah, were even so kind as to drive his finely crafted, one-of-a-kind, 4X8 Teardrop
out to Hurricane for us, where we sealed the deal. Thanks, Richard . . . we’re loving the Teardrop you created just for us!
Tom called and asked if we would be interested in camping
north of Bryce and doing a couple of hikes on the Sevier Plateau. We really enjoyed our time in this area last
Fall, and so we used the opportunity to take our Teardrop on its “maiden
voyage.” We had a great time and are
looking forward to a new phase - that of Teardrop camping – to augment some of
our future hikes.

| We couldn't let Richard go back to Oklahoma without taking his picture! |
 |
| We camped north of Bryce Canyon off the Tom Best Springs road |
 |
| The Teardrop kept us warm & cozy . . . even at 23 degrees! |
 |
| Allison had fun cooking up meals in the galley kitchen . . . she can't wait to go again! |
 |
| After we set up camp Tom took us up Wilson Peak in the Can-Am |
 |
| We had amazing views of the area we plan to explore over the next several days |

Just about anyone can drive their vehicle up Wilson Peak. From the turnoff the road almost immediately begins to climb until it reaches the ridgeline. It then follows this ridgeline for approximately five miles to various communication towers. The peak provides exceptional and even unique views of Red Canyon, Bryce Canyon and farther off to the east, Powell Point.
