Hope to see you all there!

Also a reminder that the TearUp is an open event. You do not have to have a teardrop to attend! Many fishcreekers and other avid campers have attend in the past, and will attest to how much fun the event has been. Last year alone the event more than doubled in size due to its popularity with over 100 campers in attendence, with campers arriving from as far away as California, Oregon and Texas! We will have a diverse bunch of unique trailers attending which are a lot of fun to checkout (a popular activity at the TearUp). So whether you have a tear, travel trailer, or tent, or just plain love camping at Fish Creek, all are welcome!

Yup! I have those shots. I'll add you to the list once I get up to speed on the tearup website.

Looks like everyone will be pretty much on the same sites!

Is it Spring yet?

[Rollins Fan]

It feels like spring today!

[rfinley]

I just watched last years video on the TearUp 2009. One thing for sure, the weather has to be better !! There is no way it can be worse, unless it snows !!

[campadk]

Finally got around to updating the participants list here.

There is also the somewhat new TearUp the ADK TV Channel you can check out for prior year photo slideshows and videos for anyone who has not seen them before. Visit http://vimeo.com/channels/tearuptheadk

Wine and Cheese Night Sat April 12, 2010

Start: 6:00 p.m.

Where: Dave and Kate's Campsite (site 241, look for our shiny Airstream)

What to Bring: Wine and cheese or appetizer (enough for yourselves but
we will pool the food)

Group Photo: between 6:30 - 7:00

Draw for Prizes: If you wish to donate a prize this year please bring
it the day before or in the morning of the Wine and Cheese. Last year
with the rain and chaos of the steal a gift Kate wasn't able to get
names from those who donated prizes and we would like to name those
people to thank them for their generosity.

Steal a Gift: New Rules and Reminders of How to Play

To play you must bring a wrapped gift to the Wine and Cheese gathering.
Gifts should be less than $10; or regift from something around your
house (optional camping theme!); or even better something hand made!
Your steal a gift should be wrapped and tagged with your campsite #.
Please tie the tag on so it can be removed. This is your ticket for
the game. Once the tag is removed the gift is anonymous.

Reminder of Rules (with a slight change):
Kate will draw a campsite number. The first person must chose a prize
but cannot open it.This gift remains unopened throughout the game -
It's the "mystery gift".

The next person has a choice of A) chose a gift from the pile and open
it; or B) chose a gift from the pile and exchange it with player #1.
Player #1 will open the exchanged gift but Player #2 cannot open the
"mystery gift" which can be stolen throughout the game.

Player #3 can chose A) a gift from the pile and open it; or B) a gift
from pile and exchange it for one of the gifts in play.

This goes on until all gifts in the pile are in play. The final move
is for Player #1 who never got to steal. This is now their choice to
either exchange what they have with any other gift including the
unopened gift if it has been stolen from them. Once Player #1 has made
their choice the "mystery" gift can be opened.

Additional updates and discussions can be found on the TearUp 2010 discussion thread at http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32233

Cheers!

Nothing like waiting until the last minute.... Just got the camper out of storage. So far no surprises. Getting loaded for an early Thursday departure. I can't wait.

Dave, I have a 10x10 easyup canopy, I'll throw it in the camper in case it may be needed. Weather looks sort of OK on Accuweather.com

First half of 2010 hasn't been all that great, thinking that the Tearup will be the start of a great second half !!!
