Wow, Airstream Adventures... Feats, Photos and Fibs

[Utah Man]

On the road, living the dream? How about sharing your feats, photos or fibs?

Summit a peak? Hike to a hidden treasure? Make a snappy comeback on the Forums?

Please share - photos too. It would be nice to hear about your Airstream adventures... big, small, or embellished.



Off the Burr Trail, near Boulder, UT.

Great idea. Unfortunetly I have to renew my supporting member status to post photos.

Great idea!

This is me at Chaco Canyon last summer, after having climbed to see the petroglyphs there....then, on my way down...backwards, of course....having gotten seriously off trail and finding myself on a vertical cliff over a very steep drop.

No one around, I climbed back up and out of it on my own.

This is me, triumphant and soaked in sweat, and the drop off below.

The drop off photo has not been reduced, so posted upside down....but you get the idea.

I had taken the IPad mini up there to take some pictures....so, a very rare selfie.

No worries, Lum... with the burden of photographic evidence removed, it's just that much easier. Look forward to hearing from folks on the road.

p.s. - Contributing Member Rivet Master sounds impressive; someday I hope to evolve past a scorn-worthy1/2 Rivet Newbie Lurking Bottom-feeder (or whatever my current status actually is called.)

Thanks, Maggie - I always enjoy seeing your posts!

But, as to actual adventures with my Airstream, here is one when I was on Route 66, a very neat tour, especially when pulling..

Soulsby's Station in Mt. Olive, Illinois.

Guadelupe Mountains, Texas

How very flattering, Tommie...but at least I had makeup on.

Not so climbing rock walls in Chaco Canyon.

I also notice I had polished off the Jameson & Ginger that Greg had made for me.

Boondocking in the sierras...this doesn't look like the right road...damn where to turn around, maybe around this next bend..LOL!

[coachvic]

Great photo, I hope the driver does not get out or take a sharp left.

While not as perilous as "boondocking in the Sierras", I recently had the bright idea of stopping at a pretty place on our way home from Capitol Reef to eat lunch. We thought Fishlake Nat'l Forest was the perfect place.

We should probably just stick to paved roads after this as we barely made it out without falling in the ruts and breaking something.

@twolanehwy

This is why we love Photoshop....LOL

Oh, yes, the original Route 66.... not very wide

Not on the road yet but getting closer - today's task is to order 2 new axles for the AS.

If it's any consolation, Utah Man, I'm sure I am a Zero Rivet newbie, TOTAL lurker. But I have learned a lot from all that lurking. The axles get me that much closer :-)

Every day brings new sights and fun adventures.

We got to meet some desert dragons outside of Escalante. They are surprisingly tame. Must be the tourists.

How the Hell did he get in that predicament?
Or was this 'photoshopped'?

This is a Facebook photoshop by Francis DiBona of the Airstream Addicts group.

Did the 8 mile Fairyland Loop at Bryce Canyon today, and all I got was a couple of lousy photos and a sweat-soaked hat.

Not too crowded (passed a couple of dozen hearty hikers, mostly Europeans) when you get off the rim, particularly this trail. Scenic and rugged, also rougher than the last time I hiked it due to flash flooding.

I missed hiking with Holly this time, as she's still recovering from a broken ankle.

Glacier National park, earlier this summer. The red busses lined up behind us. Don't they know we can't take the Airstream over the Going To The Sun Road.
Ron, I hope Holly has a speedy recovery.
