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.

junk mail
A few months ago I discovered this pretty cool for-profit (unfortunately) company, green dimes. Pay them to stop your junk mail for you and they plant trees with some of the profits. We've always been vigilant about staying off the lists of the big offenders like DMA, ADVO and DirectMail but getting rid of the catalogs, charity solicitations and freebies is time consuming. This makes it pretty easy. We love not getting a mailbox full of junk mail anymore. It's a new company with some bugs yet to be worked out, and the lottery-style triple-decimal-point counter on the right sidebar is cheesy (I'd still believe they are making a difference if they dropped the decimals), but at least the service works. For shame, Victoria's Secret is the only catalog not to cooperate with them so far.
This article has lots of hints too, if you want to do it yourself.
Oh, and by the way, this is why I stopped sending out my 'junk mail tip of the month.' But now you know everything I know! :)

Hey - I give this business a thumbs-up as well; it's worked for me too!
