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.

homeward bound
Beth has been staying with me in the trailer the last few days and right now is driving back to Colorado with me. So much more fun to have company! Yesterday I could not resist the pull of the Tetons so we took a long detour over Teton Pass and through Jackson for a quick glimpse of my favorite mountain range. Keeping with the wedding theme, I intended to go to Schwabacher's Landing and take some photos where my little sister was married a couple summers ago. Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs and the mountains were mostly socked in. What terrible timing! Instead we checked out the hi-tech and brand new Visitor Center at Grand Teton National Park (right). Yesterday's drive through part of the Wind River Range was awesome. Last night we stayed in Vernal, Utah and today we are driving the long way through the Colorado mountains to get back home. Beth's flight back to Iowa leaves tomorrow morning.
Update... Ok, Mom says that picture requires explanation - we are just standing on video screens built in to the floor of the new GT Visitor Center mentioned above - they have some where you walk on top of the Snake River, some where you stand on top of Grand Teton, etc.
The second picture is our campsite in Idaho that we left yesterday.
