Our tiny caravan attracted a LOT of attention on this trip. We met loads of friendly people walking by who were interested and intrigued by the teardrop and wanted a closer look. Everyone was impressed with the design and amazed it was a home built caravan, including some friends of our who happened to be camping that same weekend on the opposite side of the campground. This is one thing I love about camping. Everyone is so friendly and open to strike up a discussion and conversation on just about any topic.

Meriwether Lewis campground is one of my favorite spots for a quick overnight or weekend getaway with friends. It's about an hour's drive from my house and taking the scenic Natchez Trace route to get there is always a beautiful drive, especially in the Fall.

For the maiden voyage of our 'Tiny Yaba', my wife Kathy and I reserved 2 nights of 'spring camping' at the Fairview Campground. We had visited the state park, did some hiking and checked out the 2 primary campgrounds back in December and decided it would be fun to give the Fairview Campground a go. We booked a Friday - Sunday and left our house around noon on that Friday. We had everything packed up and ready to go by Thursday night and were excited for the first overnight trip in our Tiny Yellow And Black Abode. The teardrop was ready for adventure... and so were we!

This adventure began when a friend and I attended an RV show at the Music City Center in Nashville, which is where the idea of building a Teardrop trailer began. The convention center floor was full of all types and sizes of trailers, campers and coaches, including a few Teardrops, which were the least represented at the show. Neither of us had the intention of investing in a caravan at the time, but those tiny trailers made a big impact on us.
