While the items might seem random, we keep the box near our campsite picnic table and access at least one thing during each camping trip. It helps with the "Honey, where is the...?" questions.

This wonderful photo is from Road Adventures, a new camper (and tow vehicle) rental company in partnership with AAA auto club and insurance. The company rents iconic campers like Airstreams and Little Guy T@Gs and T@Bs and helps you plan the perfect trip to various locations. The company also has videos on how to operate your chosen trailer.
Cool Tears Magazine - May/June
The latest version of Cool Tears and Tiny Campers is now available online. This issue features the family business of Colorado Teardrops, an ingenious mobile bedroll towed by a motorcycle and a list of this summer's teardrop trailer gatherings.

This patriotic colored teardrop trailer is perfect for the 4th of July. The Vistabule Teardrop Trailer of Minnesota was parked at the Minneapolis/St. Paul RV Vacation and Camping Show and was too much of a temptation for 5-year-old Ashley Ritchie.

Featured Teardrop: Tiny Camper Company
If you are looking for a screaming deal on a teardrop trailer, check out the designs by Tiny Camper Company in Clermon, Florida. These handmade retro style trailers are not only custom built, but a few are on sale from the company's website.
Each teardrop trailer is handcrafted by carpenter Joe Tyquiengco and comes in three different styles. The Simple Sleeper Camper is 4x8 with a full bed, natural wood finish, lighting, and a basic shelf galley. The Simple Sleeper also has a wide range of upgraded features including AC, tongue storage bin and roof rack.
The 4x8 Scotty Replica has a flat back, a galley and plenty of headroom. The Square Back Camper is a simple square shape that is ready for customization. Each trailer is made with an all aluminum finish to give it a retro look. Joe is also working on a standy version of his retro design.
The campers range from only $2,500 to $3,400.

Friday Teardrop Photo
We had so much fun taking photos on our last trip to the Black Rock Desert, so a few more will make an appearance. The desert is so vast that even a vehicle and a tiny trailer can quickly disappear into it. You might be able to see the Sunflower in the distance near Old Razorback Mountain.
So few people go out there that the only vehicle tracks you can see are ours.
Five Great Podcasts for a Long Road Trip
While on a long road trip with the teardrop, we love to not only listen to music, but we really get into some podcasts. While we also listen to books, podcasts are great because they contain shorter interviews, bits of information or shows that tend to make the time just fly by. While these are not in any order, these five podcasts are some of my favorites.
The Astonishing Legends Podcast
Even if you are not into news of the weird, the storytelling of these interesting mysteries will get you hooked. While all the episodes are very good, "The Dyatlov Pass" and "Amelia Earheart Vanishes" episodes are exceptionally well done and really delve into the theories behind the stories. Produced by Scott Philbrook and Forrest Burgess, it's become one of my favorites.
Travel with Rick Steves Radio Program
Rick Steves has been bringing travel locations to life for decades and his podcast is one of the best travel podcasts around. He delves not only into travel tips and tricks, but also subjects like local politics, history, architecture and, of course, food.
The Survival Podcast
Experienced campers also have a real sense of self sufficiency. While we might not be out and out preppers, we love to feel that we can take care of ourselves and others if necessary. The Survival Podcast by Jack Spirko is not only about prepping for the bad times, but also how to live your best life. He covers everything from gardening and producing your own food to firearms, hiking, political issues and helpful tips. While Jack claims he's an anarchist, I think he just has a lot of common sense.
The Tim Ferriss Show
Most people know Tim Ferriss from his various books including "The 4-Hour Work Week", but his podcast has some really excellent interviews from top performers including Seth Godin, Edward Norton and Laird Hamilton. His interview with legendary music producer Rick Ruben in a sauna was classic.
GardenFork Radio
You wouldn't think that several guys chatting about gardening and cooking (and a zillion other things) would be interesting, but this delightful and fun show will get you hooked even if you are not interested in gardening. Eric of the GardenFork TV show on YouTube chats with various people about everything under the sun...and dogs.
