Friday Teardrop Photo

This photo is of the Sunflower parked at the Inyo National Forest ranger station in California —the crossroads between Mount Whitney and Death Valley. We are in the process of planning some more intense summer and fall hikes and my teardrop will be a welcome respite.

The Sunflower parked next to a rather large semi trailer truck at a rest stop on Highway 80 in California. Although we tow a much smaller load, a rest stop is a nice chance to have plenty of parking, get out and stretch our legs and take photos of our tiny yellow trailer next to some massive road warriors.

The Sunflower (packed up for a trip) waiting for us on the top of a parking garage. 

During longer trips, we sometimes have to park the teardrop in a city environment, and one of the only places that will accept (and fit) a teardrop trailer is the top floor of a parking garage. We've had to do this in Reno, San Francisco and Las Vegas. If you are traveling through a city, check first for RV or trailer parking areas and then try the top of a parking garage. However, some garages do not allow trailers to take up two spaces—or you might have to pay double.
