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.

eleven mile state park

eleven-mile-1.jpg

We had a pretty lazy weekend but on Sunday we went for one of those aimless Sunday drives and ended up at Eleven Mile State Park, a place we've never been to before. It was a cold and rainy day and even though the Aspens were much more yellow than last weekend, they weren't as pretty without the sun. Eleven Mile is a wild windswept place nearly devoid of people this time of year but I suspect is teeming with fishermen in the summer. They had a nice state park campground (with hookups) but the landscape of the campground looked much like the picture above, including the absence of trees. I doubt we will ever bring the trailer here, but if we had a boat.....
