Ste spot, Jim Foster and Richard

Suite Spot we are across the street from you #208. Met your hubby yesterday. Jim, glad you got a tire, see you Thursday in Winslow. Richard, yes I had the big floor jack, but Jim used plastic blocks to jack the tire. However, I had the trusty compressor and Honda 2000 to get the spare up to pressure.

Train ride to the canyon today, it was fun. Met some new Airstreamers in the RV park here, all are heading to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta.

That compressor is nice.
Thanks again Charlie

The blocks were easier than having Charlie unload a bunch of stuff to get to the jack. I used them at the tire shop as well. Had the trailer up, spare dismounted and put away before they even got started replacing the blown tire.

See you all tomorrow at La Posada.

Good morning from Grants, NM

We had a nice ride across I-40 yesterday and pulled into Grants around 6PM last night. This place is full of Airstreams, about 2 dozen! Meet with some old friends last night and made some new ones as well.

The KOA even had the Airstream turkey diner special on the menu last night.

We will be moving this show to Camping World in Albuquerque this morning and then on to the Fiesta.

Hey Richard,
Thanks for posting the photos. We watched the balloons from the house but the breeze did not carry them our way.
I have signed up to crew for a local pilot Monday so we may see you on the field or in the lot. Looks like Airstreamers have taken over this event!

I've been traveling with you vicariously and am looking forward to more pictures. We screwed up and signed up for a cruise but keep the good time rolling and we hope we'll join the growing crowd next year.

Congrats to the 4CU on organizing another great time.

Pat
