  • 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.

blogroll

So we finally got around to posting our blogroll (translation for Mom and Dad: list of blogs I like). Find it at the lower left. Unable to limit myself, I ended up with a little of everything. In general, I'm a sucker for anything well designed and pretty (with good content, of course)... these blogs are that! Tour of America is of course the granddaddy of Airstream blogs. Delicious:days, written by a couple in Munich, has long been my favorite food blog. Farmgirl Fare is also a very cool food/rural living blog with a great story. I figure I would probably be a better food/garden blogger than I am an Airstream blogger, but so it goes. All the garden blogs are good depending on what kind of garden info I'm looking for...and since we don't have a garden in Colorado yet I just live vicariously through them. And design blogs - as one would expect - are such eye candy! I am waiting for Michael to contribute his list of dow theory and macro-economics and energy and finance blogs.... Until then, you'll have to wait on the edge of your seat.

7/25 Update: I forgot to mention that poppytalk recently featured a very cute boutique-in-a-64 Airstream in BC, Canada, and I just saw the happy living blog posted about us! Let's cheer them on on getting an Airstream of their own! :)
