Heading back home after attending an Owners' Clinic at Bay Area Airstream, saw two AS's at Rio Viento on Sherman Island in the Delta region of CA.

Watching the news yesterday and there was a piece about RV street parking in Palo Alto. There were a couple of AS coaches in the mix. Local ordinance requires moving a half mile away every 2-3 days. Seems leap frog is the game of choice and you just have to prove you drove a half mile away in the process. What an interesting way to dry camp. Pat

I started a new topic in the AS News forum, but it will not be posted until approved by a moderator:

http://www.airforums.com/forums/f224/

plus a link to a Palo Alto news article.

. . . in order to keep this Airstream Sightings thread focused on actual sightings.

Thanks Pat for the heads up.

Welcomed a newbie to The North Abutment Campground at Grenada Lake today- a 39 year old young lady who jumped in feet first-
A traveling speech pathologist working in California with family in Michigan-
Driving from California in a Subaru to Michigan for a family reunion she stopped in Franklin, TN and bought a 2014 Tundra.
Then when she got to Michigan she bought a 2012 25' Eddie Bauer.
She just happened to make it to the campground at about 8 o'clock Friday evening as we were getting in from supper at n town.
Dry nice lady with a very nice rig.
She made it to Louisiana on her way to California last night.
She is probably in Texas just now.
So full of energy.
She will be full-timing in her Eddie.

Spotted this AI on eastern Long Island NY this morning. Looked like they were having a coffee break so I did not bother them.

This is the first AI I have seen in person. Big!

Happy Trails . . .

One way to solve the "aluminum corrosion" problem is to paint over it.

Parked at the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site in Philip, S.D. were two other Airstream's that arrived while we were inside. A Basecamp and a Sport 16.

And then the owner of the Sport appeared and we toured each other's coach. In 1700 miles it was the first AS we saw apart from one earlier in the day flying by recorded only by the dash cam

Very cool pair of shinys and that is a fantastic example of the Airstream grin.

You all travel safe up there! Pat

Having a snack and a beer in Jackson, WY at the Silver Dollar Bar & Grill, and a late model Airstream just drove by, maybe 27'? Then it drove by again, the other way! Hello, whoever you are!
