- 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.

beer-stream
Tonight we picked up the Airstream from One Stop Cop Shop for the third time, where they again waved their magic wand and got things fixed. This time, it was actually the truck they worked on - we got the electric brakes hooked up to the truck and wired the Airstream so that the truck recharges the trailer's batteries while we drive - which should save us a little trouble (and energy) on the recharging end. Now, in a pinch we could start the truck to recharge the battery, I am sure our campground neighbors would love it. The picture was taken in One Stop's parking lot - and I actually edited a lone cop car out of the lower right corner of the picture. Airstreams and cop cars just don't go together.
More importantly, Ben, Leslie and Ryan got here tonight to kick off their Colorado vacation. I am finally getting a nephew fix. My brother told Ryan (2) the Airsteam is a big beer can so I think Ryan expects (fears?) opening it and finding a swimming pool of beer. Then again, Ryan probably already knows to never believe anything his dad says.
