Mike, one of the things I've learned in the past year is to communicate coherently, cogently and, most important of all, constructively.

What might seem lame or expensive to someone might be incredibly useful and worth the cost to someone else. Reading about other peoples' life experiences can sometimes give us insight on how to improve our travels.

Rich, great job on the blogs and Airstream Life.

Well said Stingray...we have advertised in Airstream Life since the very first issue!

Quality mag. with great pics and stories...several people have come in with a copy in their hand and said "We read your ad in Airstream Life and came to see you"

Way to go Rich...keep us posted on your Airstream "Way of Life"

I've forgotten to indicate the link so I have supposed that only few people didn't know who is Rich luhr, what is Airstream life and the Tour of America blog....
So it's not too late to discover this incredible familly and what they have done during 3 years... and the story continue:
Tour of America
About the magazine... expensive ???? Never when the passion gives you good times and nothing in comparison with the price of a MH maintenance....just by example, Mike.

It is preposterous to call Airstream Life "expensive."

I pay $100 every time I fill up my truck. I pay $500 per month for the priveledge of being in a trailer park. For a whopping $16 per year you can subscribe to the wildly over-priced Airstream Life magazine!

Too funny.

I for one enjoyed reading about his travels and look forward to every issue of the mag. I wish him well in his newly morphed life and know that at some point, I'll see him and his family on the road, at a rally, or someplace as I am sure he has not given up the Airstream.

Geetings everyone... I was hoping I could get Rich out of bed early to join in on this thread but no such luck. Three years out of the loop of being a homeowner I think reality is starting to sink in. The up side is that he will be starting a whole new adventure with his family and friends and I know he will continue sharing with us all. I would like to thank you all for those kind comments about the magazine and the staff. Rich has been a great Boss to work for and all the advertizers have been wonderful and supportive. Like the rest of you I have enjoyed reading his blog (helps to know where the boss is you know) and am very pleased to have been included in Rich's extended family. Rich, job well done and I look forward to the next project down the road.

I, too, have been a sporadic reader of the Tour of America Blog. I have enjoyed it when I read it and tried to catch up when I missed a period. But as any one enters a new stage in their life, life goes on for them and those whose lives they have touched. Good luck in the new house and be patient with those itchy feet until you can make it out on the road again. I know you aren't about to let the adventures in your Airstream end, just take a respite between them.

Rich started out on a 6 month tour of America and it wound up lasting 3 years. Wow! Aren't we all envious?

Will miss the blog Rich, enjoy the house!

I have been receiving Airstream Life for about 4 years and I still look forward to receiving each and every copy. It's cost is fairly low when comparing it to all of the other perks we have in owning an A/S. I've enjoyed Rich's articles and I've enjoyed visiting with him at some of the rallies we have been to. The time spent with him at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta was well worth it. Good luck Rich in your future endevors.

I agree completely....the magazine is a quality product, and has gotten better over time! We subscribed from the first issue, and we look forward to every copy....sometimes, there are even mild disagreements over who gets to read it first

I don't see how it is priced so inexpensively....

A limping magazine?, yeah...my only complaint, it takes 2 months to limp back into my mailbox.

Keep up the GREAT work gang!!!

Airstream Life and associated content like the blog - with such fine commentary, editorials and insights - are what put us over the line in deciding to buy. The Luhrs and their contributors give the lifestyle one fine boost.

We enjoyed meeting Rich and family in VT a couple of Summers ago and look forward to the Airstream Life every time. I read it from cover to cover, unlike that other publication I used to receive. The blog was always fun and we wish Rich the best of everything as he settles into his new digs.

If the expense was too much for you, I'll gladly compensate you for your loss...PM me your address, and I'll write you a check.
I have enjoyed the mag, enjoyed the decrease in price, and enjoyed the family atmosphere...and, mostly, have enjoyed the family. Thanks, guys, for sharing.

Don't get me wrong, we subscribed for years: it just got redundant & I was not getting
anything of importance out of it. To each his own. (Plus, that guy Matthew Mc whatever
was driving me up the wall)

Hmmm...sounds like the green eyed monster might be showing it's ugly head ~

One thing I always enjoyed most about the Tour of America blog was the fantastic photography.
With permission from Rich, I put together a musical video with some of the fantastic scenery. The hardest part of this project was choosing just 39 scenic photos from the hundreds that are posted.
