A gaggle (15-20) of Airstream travel trailers arrived at the resort this week for a local Florida Airstream Owners get- together. Airstreams are a classic American design almost as much about art as function. In 1931, Airstream began with founder Wally Byam’s dream: to build a travel trailer that would move like a stream of air, be light enough to be towed by a car and create first-class accommodations anywhere.

While walking Maggie this morning I struck up a conversation with the wife of a couple who own one of the ones now at the resort. I quickly got the impression that restoring their Airstream was an act of love by her husband and perhaps not so much her own thing.

When I asked her what kind of activities the Airstream owners do when they get together she was stumped for a moment before finally saying they had chartered a boat tour in Cedar Key for today.

I let her off the hook from having to contribute anything else by wishing her a nice day and weekend.

Each day at one of these resorts brings something new.

I guess RVer’s are like photographers in that they can gravitate to a brand name or style. A love of the trailer as much as the lifestyle. I think they’re Kool looking, myself.

I have seen some pretty incredible customizations of airstreams. One of my neighbors down my block has a business/hobby of restoring old small campers – I don’t what kind they are, smaller ones.

People who own Air Streams are intresting to say the least.
