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.

for ryan
We returned today from one of the most enjoyable weekends in the mountains that we've had all year. I will write more about that tomorrow. But in the meantime, the train pictures are for my nephew Ryan. This is the Cumbres & Toltec narrow gauge train, which traverses back and forth across the Colorado and New Mexico border between Antonito, CO and Chama, NM. Unlike the Durango Silverton train, this one is run jointly by the states of Colorado and New Mexico, so it is less commercial and not nearly as well known as its Durango counterpart. Not to mention it is quite off the beaten path. We didn't ride the train but it's on our list of things to do next year and maybe Ryan will get to come too (hint hint, mom & dad)! :)
Comments
I will make sure to show Ry the photos tomorrow. He is sleeping right now. He will love'em. We went to Thomas the Train this weekend. Ryan had a good time and liked riding the "short" train. It was only 25 minutes so much shorter then Durango. I will be posting the pictures on our family website when I get a chance.
