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.

wilkerson pass
Returning from Aspen last weekend we stopped at Wilkerson Pass for a photo shoot. I love the panoramic view of about a half dozen mountain ranges in hazy layers from this unassuming spot. If the US Forest Service weren't hogging all the land, we'd buy it all.
In the far distance you can see the Sangre de Cristo Range. Directly above the hood of the truck is Mt. Princeton and the Collegiate Peaks near Buena Vista. To the north and out of the picture is the rest of the Sawatch Range and the Mosquito Range. And directly behind us is Pikes Peak, the easternmost 14er in the US. The big plain in the middle ground is known as South Park. Yep, the TV show's namesake.

That's a terrific photo. Why not send it in to Airstream.com for their monthly photo contest? I think it's a winner!

Ok, I know that "hate" is such a strong word, but can't I just "dislike" the fact that you get to go to all these fab places and I'm stuck here??????
