  • Flying Cloud is the model name of our 1963 Airstream... now at large (but often just parked) in the 38th state.

history

  • Our Flying Cloud was built in Santa Fe Springs, California around 1962. Airstream manufactured the Flying Cloud model from 1950-1963, so this one was the end of the line.
  • It was originally registered as #11229 in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, or so we have heard.
  • We took over this blog along with the trailer from the previous owners. We are the Flying Cloud's fifth owners.
  • An ad for a 1958 Flying Cloud.

Today I picked up our first share of produce from the CSA we joined, Country Roots Farm. This week we got spinach, mint, garlic scapes, radishes, snap peas, pinto beans, leeks and something else that I can't identify. I am not a fan of radishes so I am scratching my head to figure out how to use them without tasting them. Maybe I will try carving them into swans like they do in Chinese restaurants. For the curious or the bored, I like this Time article about food and produce.

I PROMISE we will write more about Airstreaming soon....

Update: That thing I couldn't identify is a hardneck variety of garlic called Music Pink, an heirloom variety. And it is pink. Cool.
