Airstreams can float!
So I had a curious passerby commwmted on how much he liked my 82 limited...
Passerby: sure is a nice airstream
Me: thanks!
Passerby: you know you should have gotten that model called "land yacht." Its the one with the blue stripe down the side. Those are the ones you can put in the water. They float you know.
Me: i did not know that. why would you want to put an airstream in the water?
Passerby: oh, i guess it is for floods or something.
I dont think I am going to try it. LOL!

Shooting the rapids
Awesome! Ours has blue stripes. Think I will go find a creek. Tired of all that paddling I have to do with Kayaks anyway. Maybe just hook a trolling motor on the tongue.. I know, I know, you guys will want pics...

No doubt...
in my mind that AirStream could build the finest tooned Lake yacht in the world! And they could add red and white stripes to go with the blue!
