We first went to Slab City. We then wandered over to the FCU's New Years party near Tucson and from there we came back to Ca. to spend some time boondocking in the high desert. It was cold everywhere we went but the furnace worked great. We also got caught in a sandstorm on I 10. Lots of fun and adventure which made it a great trip.
Goin, this sounds like it was a neat trip. Bummer on the sand storm - hard on windshields and paint (and aluminum). Sure do wish we could have done the trip to the 4CU camp out.
We actually had snow for a couple of days over the holidays but nothing a day of good old liquid snow shovel didn't cure. Hey, we do live beside rain forests and they are living up to their name. So no sand storms for us, just rain, snow, sleet, and now and then the sun.
So it is Thursday and I'm going over to have tea with our buddies who have acquired an early Flying Cloud over the Christmas holidays and congratulate them , and help them plan out the restoration. I guess my aluminumitis is infectious .

We just got back from a 9 month trip around lower 48 to our villa in an Airstream Community. We have the best of both worlds!!!!! This was our first extended trip and upon ariving home , we found we could remove alot of stuff we didn't need. But we also have a 28 footer without a pantry, so we already turned the hall closet into a pantry. Still love our airstream !!!!!
Sounds a strange thing to say - but true! I was kept awake half the night by my pump cycling - a sure sign of a leak! On checking this morning I found water spurting from the water heater drain valve. When it didn't improve by tightening I decided to remove it and use some sealent - only to have it sheer off and have six gallons of water spilling onto the floor!
I sourced my second AS from a family in Totowa NJ. It was part of the estate of a life member, #13194 Albert W Vanderberg. More than once I've been grateful for his preparedness and thoughtfulness from beyond the grave. His spares box is a treasure chest and, sure enough, looking in the box I find a spare plug! The water's hot and all is back on track!

Thanks Albert!!
Sounds like Albert was a good Airstreamer...and a good Boy Scout, too. "Always be prepared".

It's Thursday and I remembered to post on the right day this week! I like my Airstream because she will take us to the Florida Can Opener Rally this weekend and reunite us with some old friends and some new ones.
It was 16F this morning in Atlanta and yesterday's high of 30F made it the coldest day since January 1997 (before my oldest was born!). The temps are supposed to rebound in the south before the weekend so it may be cool in the Panhandle, but it will be a nice change from what we are having this week.
Looking forward to making some Changes in Latitudes in our "Changes in Latitudes" this weekend.

It is (was) Thursday and I like my Airstream because she lived up to her name (Changes in Latitudes) and took us to the Can Opener Rally in the Florida Panhandle this past weekend where we reconnected with old friends and met new ones. She helped us host a really great cocktail party that overflowed into the streets. It was a great rally and we are looking forward to the next Can Opener next year!

Kudos to KU for 7th place BCS ranking in football.....
Well the name says it all........a Kansas team (albeit my alma mater nemisis) takes 7th place in BCS standings........congrats to a non-ranked team before the season started! It's better than a Nebraska or Oklahoma or Notre Dame or VA Tech getting the win.....altho I applaud the recovery from the disaster that Va Tech suffered thru in May 07' on campus.
Maybe next year for the Cats!
On the Thursday, I like my AS because......... last Thursday I hooked up and attended my first Bluegrass Festival in Portland, OR.........and got stoked because I saw my hero mandolin player David Grisman and his quintet perform ........truly awesome................esp if your'e a Dead Head. Sooo.....I'm waiting for the next outing to the FCU 2nd annual peeps event.....can't wait til Kevbo parks me!
