Honda use to advertise that "You Meet The Nicest People On A Honda". Only seems fitting that some of them happen to be Streamers too.

This one most likely is from the same gathering, but without a definitive caption.

Not for me. I don't like crowds or traffic jams.

I Have Some Letters From This Rally!
My mother and father had an Airstream for years and they attended this rally. My father wrote a letter to home every day while they were on the caravan, at the International, and then on the return trip home. For this 1970 rally/trip there are 23 letters.
Problem is... I cannot upload PDF documents to this forum. I've successfully uploaded pictures but I cannot upload PDF. What gives? If anyone else can upload PDF I will gladly send the file to you and you can upload the letters - a single PDF file - about 2.3 MB. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send the file to you.

Letters home
Lucius,
Great letters. I enjoyed reading them. Thanks for sending them to me!
The way to post your PDF file is the same as with JPEG or any other.
Click on Post Reply.
Then scroll down to Additional Options and under Attach Files, click Manage Attachments.
Click on Browse, select your PDF file, click on Upload. AirForums allows a 10.72 MB PDF upload. Then click on Close window.
Then click on Submit Reply.
Maybe you already followed this procedure and for some reason it didn't work for you, so just to make sure it does work, I've posted the PDF you sent me.
Thanks, and I sure hope you post the letters from the other years your parents went to International. They are a real time capsule.

Letters To Home - Thanks
Thank you for posting the letters Forrest. I will try to upload others in the future. Your directions will be helpful.
A footnote for those who are interested - my mother and father owned various Airstreams since the late 1950's but the 1970 Hershey rally was their first International. As you can see they were quite impressed with the fanfare. Almost every year they took an extended summer vacation, sometimes lasting as long as 8 weeks, to attend the International, caravan with friends, enjoy the sights. They were truly seeing more, doing more and living more!
Lucius
