Sorry for diverting the topic from Metro Detroit......but Derek and I have an idea, and we want to bounce it off the masses.

We've just finished the Relay for Life here in Kalamazoo County. While at the event this year, Derek took note of the teams, the creative ways in which they raised money for cancer research and the travel trailers, tents, fire pits and all manner of camping equipment that was hauled out to keep the team participants comfy and cozy.

Guess what thought entered his mind? Yep, an Airstream team. Since the Relay is held here at the Air Zoo, there would be ample room to haul in several airstreams and park them in a nice grassy site bordered by trees (boondocking only). This year a classic car team held a "viewers choice" contest in which people paid a $1 to vote for their favorite car. What about $1 to tour the iconic airstream?

So, what think you, masses? Is this something you think might be fun....an evening of boondocking in support of cancer research? Please note: your response does not bind you into participation next year.

I would do it! I might even have Ike ready by then!

Thanks Dave! If we go forward with the idea, you'll be the first to know!

Derek
I received the new mounting hardware for the new axles yesterday. The delivery date for the new axles is July 1. Quality takes a little longer.Henshens busniess for replacement axles for Vintage Airstreams has tripled this yr.and the orders for Agricultural Axles had quad-droupeled, they are working 3 shifts to fill the orders. With all the failures of Dexter axles the demand is overwhelming.
I have several other issues that will take up the time. So I don't not want for things to keep me busy.

Hey Laura,

Thanks for the response! The date is usually around the last weekend of May (not Memorial Day weekend) or the first weekend in June. The final date will be selected in January.

airedale · 06-04-2008, 10:10 AM

NO ALCHOL, oh boy, I dont think this group will survive!

Hi Gang.
Back in town again. Happy,but broke. Can you believe the fuel prices? Count us in also Renee. I don't know how many people will pay a dollar to tour the MH,but just the fun will be worth it.
We will probably see you when school lets out and the grandkids can attend the air zoo. I know they had fun the last time. We will let you know ahead of time so you can arrange to have lunch with us.
Came into MI. on memorial day and didn't see an airstream in our travels until we got to the I-94 US-127 split and we seen one eastbound exiting south on 127 and another one westbound on I-94 at the same time. Of course,niether one waved back at us. Must be that old aluminium superiority disease we see a lot of. Glad our forums group doesn't seem to have it.
See you all soon.

drag'nwagon · 06-04-2008, 11:34 AM

Glad your back Buck!! We hope to see you at a camp fire soon.

Ralphie your "Recipe" seems to be the stuff of legends.....I've heard of it (hell, who hasn't??), but never tasted.

We're nothing if not predictable. And sad......

Can't wait to welcome you back to the Air Zoo Buck!!! I still get a chuckle when I think about how I stalked your MH in the Air Zoo parking lot, only to meet you a few weeks later at the Rally.

Thanks for your input on the Relay for Life team. In fact, thanks to EVERYONE for their input on the Relay for Life team, what an outstanding group of people!

When I look through the forums member list, I come up with quite a few people in West Michigan I've never met.....perhaps it's time to start a thread for all those not in the Metro Detroit group (some might call 'em the smart ones........)

Ahhhh....that's right. We'll be in Elhart Lake Wisconsin at Road America.

Derek is headed there as I type for the motorcycle races....he'll work as a campground host for the four days. Since they pay for his fuel to get there, feed him, give him a campsite, pay him a daily wage, and he has the chance to watch the races, it's like dream come true for him!
