Vintage topics

@64ovrlndr: Yes, Colin Hyde will be at Alumapalooza 2012 to present on the subject of vintage trailer restoration. Also, Andy Jamison of Dexter will be there again to talk about running gear, and we are tentatively expecting David Winick to show up as well. We're working on the final schedule now, and hope to have it posted by May 1.

I'm a part of a group of 4 women and 2 Airstreams making the trek from Oregon to Ohio. We have started a blog of our adventure. Check it out at www.chicroadtrip.blogspot.com
It's our first time to Alumapalooza for all 4 of us and we can't wait! See you there.

"Ethel"

Ethel!! Thelma!!! It's me, Louise.



So excited to see other women making the trip by themselves. Hats off to you from Oregon...that's a T R I P. I'm coming down from Michigan by myself and bringing my furry child.

Last year I met some wonderful folks at this event and ended up camping with them again at other rallies later in the year. Look for me...I just bought an obnoxious five flag flagpole holder on ebay for my teeny tiny trailer. -- I want to find out all about Oregon and great spots to camp. The pictures I see are breathtaking! Let's talk.

If you see Brad Pitt, tell him I'm looking for him.

One of our silver family friends, Ella (silvermine), has been blogging about her adventures. Her site is too cool! 'streamin' - 'STREAMIN'
She has some awesome checklists that she has been sharing. See the checklists for 2-15-12 and 3-13-12.

Can't wait to meet everyone at Alumapalooza!!

Thelma...we cannot WAIT to have a nice, tall, cool one complete with a paper umbrella with you and Ethel, Lucy & Louise.

Heading to JC from SoCal and looking forward to reading about your adventures along the way. I'll dust off the keyboard and work on: www.TheCampDawg.com

See you in about a month...safe travels all!

ps - it looks like Brad may be officially (finally!) off the market!

We've been to many rallies, and Alumapalooza is unlike any other. It's very well done. You'll have a great time, and meet lots of Airstreamers.

@SilverPal...that nice tall cool one could very well turn into two..or three...with googly-eyed flamingo stirrers in addition to those paper umbrellas . Just talked to my girlfriend in ID - we're spending our first night with her and her husband...and their two vintage AS. Amazing to believe departure date is 30 days away!!!

Bummer about Brad, but there's still George C.!!!
