Well after three days of hard work, the long memorial weekend, we have built ourselves a teardrop camper. This thing is the shit. For years myself and my family camped in tents, when you are young its OK, but when you get older and the back starts to act up it can totally suck and turn you off camping real fast. I love the solitude you can find in camping, the melding with nature, the release of stress. You know stress, the crap that causes heart attacks. We used the Tear Drop camper on our vacation trip to Lake Cleburne State Park Texas. The park was really nice, clean facilities, friendly staff, and very secure. The atmosphere was quite and relaxingly peaceful. The trails are fantastic for walking and bike riding I will be posting a short video of one stretch of the combination, running, walking and biking trail as soon as I get it fully edited. We also did some geocaching and it was blast. The temps were a little high but we drank plenty of water and staid towards the shade most of the time. Here is a link to the park and the map of the park area,

I want to thank the rangers on staff they did a great job. I will also be posting build photos and some helpful hints on the Teardrop build soon. Have a great day and may God bless you and yours.
In the early 90's, I rode my bike all the time, camped all the time. I felt good, was in good health. Life got hectic, I stopped riding, camping, I got fat, 280lbs of it. At 6'4" not way out there,but far enough. 12/20/2011 at 5:15pm while at work the heart attack started. Thirty minutes later my blood pressure was 187/117 I was hurting. I took myself to WNJ hospital in Sherman, they worked their magic and fixed me up. I'm back on the bike, journey with me as I regain my health.
