Its friday and I like my airstream..
Because even though shes got rusty parts, faded or damaged clear coat and she needs lots of TLC, she still makes beautiful photographs.

Thursday!
It is Thursday and I adore my Airstream! So many places to go and see and so little time!  I am still remembering the great time we had at Beverly Beach!

Because this time tomorrow we will be 39 feet from the exact middle of nowhere in the Mojave desert. Fire pit lit and noobody for miles. Serenity.

As usual, I missed Thursday by one day...but I still love my Airstream and will miss her terribly this weekend while I take my two boys on the Cub-Scout Spook-a-Ree where we will sleep in the woods in a tent at Camp Thunder near Woodbury and Thomaston, GA. It's supposed to get down into the low 40's and I will miss my central heat dearly.  In the past I have threatened to park the Airstream in the parking lot just in case it got below 40 but I don't think they would actually let me do it. (Even though I have seen a Class C there so one dad could watch his college team's game on ESPN on the satellite dish.) But I will be dreaming of 'streaming when I get up Sunday morning and my pre-senior arthritic bones are stiff and aching.
But next weekend I get my revenge when we take her to Ft. Wilderness for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!

I missed Thursday also  .
I just spent the past few days unpacking from the Balloon Fiesta Rally and now can start getting ready for next weekend when we will be camping with our fly fishing club friends at Woods Canyon Lake on the rim near Payson.

Very few of us can drive into the preserve and if you do the Ranger comes by and checks to see if your name is on his list. An unwanted interuption in your serenity.
Last weekend we were between Amboy and Cadiz dry lake. A non preserve area. The only sign of the human race was an occasional passenger jet overhead.

Two weeks of reasons
Two weeks of travel in the Caravel gives one many reasons to love one's Airstream(s). Here's a few shots along the way from Colorado to Sedona to Albuquerque and back home.
Departing Sedona, the clouds to the east were great:
If you take Arizona 260 (which turns into US 60 in New Mexico) to the east, there are lots of opportunities for boondocking. If you want to be in the big pines, you have to stop before Show Low, but the drier areas to the east are good, too:

In New Mexico the Very Large Array is worth a visit:

October is not only pumpkin month, but balloon month!
 
Never a bad day in an Airstream!

It's Tuesday but what a GREAT Thread!
Thank you for your valuable contributions to this site. I haven't been around much lately but it always makes me smile.
It's Tuesday and I love my Airstream because - it's the one constant thing (not person - hubby is that) that I can enjoy by doing nothing to or planning a massive renovation. It's a focal point of many of my dreams and potential adventures. It's a classic icon that I don't feel guilty about leaving alone for months and then planning major activity around.
Almost a Tin Friend.......

Does anyone else see the hippo in the clouds on the one picture? The mouth is open if that helps. Or is this only because of the good pain killers I'm on now?
Great pictures Zep.

because she patiently stands on three tires while her fourth is getting patched. Wasn't she a dear to wait until home in her comfy yard to go flat rather than while carooming down the highways at a heady 55 mph as she was just 2 weeks ago on her run up to the North Shore and back? The Big O repairman was amazed at the bolt he pulled from her tire. ~G

Really great pictures! Thanks for sharing! By the way Safari57, I don't see the hippo. Do you see the whole thing, or just the head? I always failed those rosharch tests....

ZEP~ We are camping this weekend at Woods Canyon Lake. It is just off 260 just when you get to the top of the rim. We will be in a group site, but the area has many places to just pull in and enjoy the views.
Is the hipo on it's back? Maybe I need some of those pills?

Okay, Zep, I hope I'm not in trouble for copying your Hippo picture but I see a hippo, facing to the right in this cloud formation. It's mouth is open. It is not the cloud itself but the blue space between the upper and lower cloud. You can see the two stubby ears, the mouth is open, and the head is kinda faint but it looks pretty close to me - or maybe it's the pain killers
