My wife and I have been camping all or married life (54years). We started our hard side camping around 2011 with a home built squaredrop. We then moved up to a 14' then a 17', then a 21' and now we are back down to a 10' teardrop. We live in southwest Virginia near the community of Cripple Creek. We are planning to attend our first gathering on October the 2nd at Claytor Lake near Dublin, Virginia.
