Itinerary 7th Annual Camp-inn Camp-outt
- Thread starter Betsey
- Start date
"Postcard from Barcelona" (Apologies to Science Fiction Theater, cira 1955): No heater required -- Weather was beautiful in Bilbao this morning and here in Barcelona this evening. Mid-70's in the afternoon, mid-60's tonight. The downside: Probably (certainly) not a Camp-Inn trailer within 3,000 miles. Oh, well, my trusty 560 is patiently awaiting me at home, 4,500 miles away, for my next road trip two weeks from now.
Love that retired life.

Ah, Barcelona. We stayed @ the Barcelona Arts Hotel in '96 and spent 5 days there. A great city! There's a neat neighborhood just to the right of the Arts, not sure what it's called. Are you traveling to any other areas of Spain?
Have a great time!
Have a great time!

Sounds like you're enjoying some fantastic weather! Hope you can post some pics (even though you are sans your Camp-Inn).
Believe it or not, there is a Camp-Inn within 2,000 miles from you. To the best of my knowledge, it is floating around somewhere in the Netherlands.
Enjoy your trip!

Netherlands? Really!
Seven cities over 16 days (Bilbao, Barcelona, Sevilla, Cordoba, Malaga, Granada, Madrid) in a self-arranged tour. Aiming to practice my less-than-fluent Spanish, take in the local culture, try out the local foods and beers (especially the beers), and generally get the feel of the country. It surprised me to find that I can't practice Spanish in Bilbao and Barcelona the way I'd thought. Language not really "Spanish" per se. A mishmash of Eukera, Castellano, Spanish, French, whatever. All the signs look just weird.
Anyway, rained today in Barcelona, but not so much as to slow anybody down. What a fascinating place! I could spend a month just wandering the downtown streets on foot. By the time my two weeks are up, I'll probably be ready to head home for a couple of days (then off with the Camp-Inn to Albuquerque's annual Balloon Fiesta).

Notice a bit of a lisp? We just loved Spain and your itinerary makes me want to go back. Have a great trip, take tons of pictures and put some of them here when you can.

The gathering was great as usual. The weather co-operated...it was cool yet warm during the day and we got to enjoy the full moon at night shining over the lake. Awesome! Betsey has the final count but there were somewhere around 45 trailers (campinns, home builts, and others)
There was a birthday celebrated, plant tours, cranfest goers, and a special quilt presentation to one of our fellow campers. Very emotional weekend. Gathering of old friends and making of some new friends.
This was written by someone without a tear..." I had never been to a gathering before,I was pleasantly surprized at how outgoing and friendly everyone was to me ,a newcomer. The food was great!!!! I really enjoyed learning how to make the omlet in the bag,I will be using that trick in he future. It turned out that I have alot in common with "teardrop people". I look foreward to the next camp-inn gathering and I may go to some others."
As one camper wrote on another forum...
"Betsey - You are awesome!! A better planner, organizer, chopper, slicer, dicer, cooker, server and hostess could not be found anywhere!! Thanks for all your efforts and everything you do to make our weekend rock!!"
I'd say Campinn had some great reviews!!!
George it was nice meeting you and your wife. Look forward to seeing you again at future Campinn-Campouts if not before.
Ken & Peggy the same goes for you too...

I will give a brief review, no photos at this time, as I am still on the road. Camp Inn the company is one very friendly and open crew. I have not had a warmer greating any where.
Camp Inn 560 Raindrop..... What a treat. Though I didn't play with it as much as I would like, what we did do with it met or exceeded expectations.
CampInn Camp Outt..... What a terrific time we had. My wife really enjoyed the week. Loved the Cranberry Fest, and the whole Tear Drop scene. It is a lot of fun putting faces to names that you meet on the forum.
I know some others had a hand, I am sure Betsey and Craig had the major hand in the camp outing, so my most sincere applause and cudos go to them for a job well done in putting the week end together so successfully. Betsey even came through with the weather.
All for now.
