Title: Home made campers at the C.R.A. gathering
Post by: osage outlaw on July 23, 2017, 06:51:01 pm: This weekend I attended the Cross Roads of America gathering at McCormick's Creek State Park in Indiana. It is about the largest gathering of teardrop and tiny campers in the country. There were a lot of home made campers there. It's amazing the amount of detail work some people put into them. The weather was similar to a wet sauna, 90 degrees with 80% humidity. The showers only had scalding hot water so that was nice :P It was fun to walk around and talk campers with everyone. It reminded me of our shoots like the Classic and Marshall, just with campers instead of bows. The guy across the road from us is a TG member and is into self bows and making arrows so it was nice to visit with him. He grabbed some of my osage firewood to carve some spoons. We won a hand made American Flag quilt as a door prize. My wife was happy with that.

All of these are home made.

My wife loved this one. The owner built it all herself. It was pretty cool for a girly camper. Check out the TV.
