We just bought a 1968 Avion. We are supposed to tow it home today. We looked at it in the Georgia blizzard on Sunday!I know it's not an Airstream but at least it is not a Tag-A-Long!I am concerned about what we might discover once we get it home. It may not be ready in time for the Springstream outing, but we will make every effort to bring it.Wish us luck.

Hey Alan and ALL.............Personally, I think it's a bit early to even begin to think about bailing out. For me, I welcome this as THE excuse to "Get out of Dodge" and begin the "season". Even, if it appears to be just for a few days this year.

Soooo........Looking forward to hookin that puppy up and getting down the road.......Dennis

Yeah baby. I am happy to just get the opportunity to get the Airstream out and enjoy some outdoors.
Heading up to Lake Russell this weekend just to cruise around some.
Kristi-- good luck with your new to you Avion. They are certainly well built.

Hey Kristi,

Sally and I will be in the Avion (73 TravelCader) we purchased from a great Forum Member last November. We've become quite attached to it. We are starting the restoration of our 76 Sovereign and wanted something to use while the AS is down for 2, or so years. We'll see you all there if I ever get home.

See You There,

Kevin and Sally

That is

We're planning on being there - but haven't even made rez yet - will do tomorrow. Am working on my bongo repertoire - hope there will be music!

ALANSD · 03-10-2009, 10:53 AM

Music will be there is u are!! Can't go without the percussion...

I want to remind everyone again about any Raffle items they might want to bring, used, new, funny, whatever. Also food for shared brunch and dinner on Saturday as well as any wine or beer they would like to share.
Of course all of that is voluntary.....and according to individual preference.

OK, I have bought my Airstream. Haven't seen it. Won't see it for another month. Assuming I can muster a tow vehicle in time I expect to have it in Georgia in May, and plan to make the SpringStream rally.

I guess I contact the campground, reserve a particular site, presumably two nights May 15 and 16, and RSVP here to get my marker on the map. Do I have that right?

Congratulations on your new Airstream! We look forward to meeting you and your new coach.

We live down in Fayetteville (20 miles south of Atlanta) and have attended the Springstream twice with our Airstream and twice before we bought our Airstream. This is a great bunch of folks to camp with and you will enjoy getting your feet wet on your maiden voyage with them.

You have the procedure right. Look forward to meeting you in May.

welcome to the group! It is always fun and though some of the faces change as the date doesn't always work for everyone, we still manage to have a great weekend.

ALANSD · 03-11-2009, 05:27 PM

we are booked at Bobby Brown SP near Elebrton GA for April 5-7 if anyone wants to join in the fun. We will have a fishing boat on Monday at Lake Russell. The park has 40 sites open right now....

James Rogers · 03-14-2009, 12:56 PM

Just jumping a head, I would like to know when the Falluminum Rally is or about when it is. I am thinking of getting a Dutch Oven - Air Stream Rally together and don't want to have it the same time as your rally.

ALANSD · 03-15-2009, 11:05 AM

Usually the end of October the week before Halloween. Hopefully that will be the week this year as well. No solid plan yet.

James Rogers · 03-15-2009, 12:42 PM

Thanks for the info Alan. I see some of you like to drink wine. I make my own home made wine. We will throw a few extra bottles in to share with the group. Looking forward to meeting your group.

wine is fine. Homemade is better! Made beer once , it wasn't.

nilesrob · 03-22-2009, 06:50 PM

We're in for B6!

ALANSD · 03-23-2009, 11:30 AM

Great! The all important beat will be provided.

Got my flooring installed Saturday. used the trafficmaster stuff I read about ..vinyl planks. They float but have glue on the ends, when the two glued surfaces mate, they are really stuck! I made a couple of errors in placement and tried to move them it took serious effort to get the planks apart.
