Calling all Northwest area Airstreamers! The Tin Can Tourists Annual Majestic Mt. Baker Rally will take place at the Deming Log Show grounds August 18th-20th.
Doug Keister will be attending again this year, and will give a presentation on his latest book, "Mobile Mansions". There will also be a pizza feed, potluck dinner, open house, and swap meet. Also, rumor has it that many members of Sisters on the Fly will be there with their fabulous trailers.
We attended last year and had a blast - you won't want to miss this rally. Check out the rally calendar and see more pictures here. Registration takes place on site - just show up since there's plenty of room.
Hope to see you there!

Cool - glad you're coming. That means our Caravels can meet!
There's lots to do in the area: Mt. Baker, the Nooksack River, mountain biking at Lake Padden, the Dutch town of Lynden, and more! The rally site is grassy with trees, and there are displays of antique logging equipment too.
Can't wait!

We were there last year and had a tremendous time. The people in attendance were very enthusiastic and the hosts were great. The whole atmosphere is one of relaxation, sharing knowledge and good laughs, and very friendly. Looking forward to being there again this year.

Just talked to the Ewings for the information on this rally and we are very excited to see all the vintage trailers. I guess we better start polishing
Sounds very laid back and fun....just my kind of rally!
Nice of you to put the info up on the forum, since you don't have to pre-register, its nice to have the location to show up at!

We will be traveling up from Bend, Oregon. I'm not sure what day we will be leaving yet, probably Wed. eve./Thursday and stay somewhere along the way.
It sounds like some people are going up as early as Tuesday.
We'll be heading up Friday morning, in a caravan of 2. My parents will be towing the Caravel with the Suburban, and we'll have the Safari & truck.
Be prepared to give a lot of tours - last year, Saturday was pretty much one big open house, with people coming from all over to check out the trailers and vintage cars. It's very low-key, though. We just hung out in our campsite, and every once in a while would wander off to tour other trailers. Some people got really into decorating their campsites, and some wore retro clothing as well. Totally up to you. It was a very friendly bunch of people and yes, we did have a lot of FUN!

We did a TCT / AZRoundup meeting earlier this year in Cottonwood, AZ. Lots of great rigs and lots of great people. We had a blast. Two other forum members were onsite as well. My wife made the comment to me after seeing all the other trailers, "We don't have a theam". Many of the smaller rigs (teardrops) had theams such as Coca-cola, Route 66, cowgirls (sisters on the fly) etc. I told her that our team was 1975 Airstream Trade Wind!
Dang it, I just found out our annual family summer BBQ on the river is the same weekend as this rally. The BBQ always wins! Sorry guys, have fun and take lots of pictures. One of these years I'm going to make it there!
