    The CrowsWing - Offroad Teardrop Trailer

    The Crow's Wing is my favorite build thread of all. I know we Perdue grads are modest but Beth's description of herself liking to tinker in the garage is off the wall. Jim you have one very talented bride.

    Idaho...A place to roam and explore!

    We spent 2 weeks in Idaho last year primarily in the central and south regions focusing on the Oregon trail with numerous side trips - great scenery and fascinating history.

    The CrowsWing - Offroad Teardrop Trailer

    Busy people get things done but as busy as you two are who would have thought you would have the time and interest to entertain us all throughout the winter. Absolutely my favorite thread on the Portal! Thanks.

    The CrowsWing - Offroad Teardrop Trailer

    As I have posted before - an impressive build by a couple who obviously have it together. One aspect that really impresses me is how much you have accomplished and the way you collaborate with each other. One of my favorite reads this winter.

    My morning coffee read was so good. Had to go back to our journal to remember driving hwy 60 in our motorhome in December '09 crossing the Salt River and eyeing the dirt road that ran alongside it. Next time we are in Arizona we'll have our Explorer and that road will be on our list. A fun...
