Our Maiden Voyage

It has taken us more than two full years working mostly on week-ends to restore our 1965 Scad-A-Bout Teardrop Trailer. Our Maiden Voyage will be on the 4th of July.

From this Maiden Voyage we will begin to chronicle our adventures during these camping trips with photos and text, for all whom may want to join us via this camping blog.

For anyone who has never seen our restoration blog you may review the last two years by following this link: http://scad-a-bout.blogspot.com/

Our Teardrop Trailer Maiden Voyage

We enjoyed our Maiden voyage at a local park due to the increased gas prices, but we enjoyed it none the less. We spend the 4th of July at Bogart Park, a Riverside County Park.

We think it was a good shake down camping trip, and we think we will be better prepared for our next one over the long Labor Day week end when we will be going to Lake Skinner.

Lake Skinner

Well we just returned from our holiday week end at Lake Skinner, we wonder if we need so much stuff to be comfortable, it seems so much more work having the extras, but then again we restored a teardrop trailer because we did not want to camp in a tent. Anyway overall all went well, finally got what I called a good night sleep after 3 nights in the teardrop, the last 2 campsites were so noisy,after dark and a full day of drinking by the other campers things get loud after the sun goes down.



Anyway here is a few photos I took, they look much like the ones I took last camping trip

SCTT 13th Lake Perris Gathering March 2009

This was our first gathering and our third camping trip in our restored 1965 Scad-A-Bout, not many photos were taken being we were busy showing our trailer and looking at others, these 3 photos were photos taken by others.

I added this same data on our build blog , but being this was also a camping adventure I wanted to also add it to our camping blog.

Last week end we were part of the 2nd annual Pismo Beach Travel Trailer Rally.

2010 Lake Perris SCTT Teardrop Rally

We were able to get to the SCTT Teardrop Rally again this year, the photos of this event, does not look much different than the year before, but here they are none the less.

 One thing that did happen camping this year was we lost our EZ UP, it seems as if every time we left our camp to look at the other teardrops and talk with other campers, we return to find our EZ Up was broken in some was due to being caught with the wind, the last time it was completely flips over our truck and crashed int a tree destroying it.
