If you look closely at some of the aluminum panels on our Airstream, you can see these little white lines in various places just above the surface of the aluminum. These little wiggly worms are actually corrosion that has taken place on the metal. They are called filiform corrosion.
For those of you who are old enough to remember “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”, this dinosaur below should look familiar.
When we first got our Airstream, I had a hard time finding information on a couple of things: toddlers and cats. Regarding toddlers, I think we slowly figured it out…. and have tried to post info as we add miles to the Airstream. But regarding cats, I don’t think I’ve Read more…
During our last trip to Palm Springs, we were surprised at how the local public swimming holes were all out of commission for the season. Being that it was still in the low to mid 90s, we were on a mission to take a dip somewhere.
Lucky for us, our friend Nicole, who was camping with us for the first couple of days on this trip, had a nice little plan for us. Her parents Ray and Verna, recent retirees, decided to get themselves a room at the near by La Quinta Resort & Club for a night.
Let’s try something new in this post. How about I start with a nice scenic shot of the beautiful campsite we stayed at for 8 nights before jumping into the details. Ahhhhhh….. Lake Cahuilla. I don’t know how to pronounce you but I surely adore you.
OK, on I go with the rest of the story…
Our kid has occasional breathing problems. And one of the ways to get her breathing normally again is to take a ride in the car with the windows open. This crap happens to her usually during the night. Poor thing sits in her car seat coughing her lungs out, wind in her hair, complaining that it’s too cold. But the other weekend, her coughing flared up during the day. Strange. So we loaded everyone in the car and went for a drive. A drive along the beautiful coast that we take for granted.
We drove by the coastal campsite at Faria Beach to check out what the deal is with reservations. We’ve never looked into it these premium spots… mostly because this campsite seems packed every day of the year… and because it’s just a hop, skip and jump away from us. As we drove slowly by all the trailers and RVs, we saw this cool vintage trailer with a matching old school car.
During our last vacation to Las Vegas, we wanted to drive by the Circus Circus KOA that we have wanted to stay at ever since we started Airstreaming. Why didn’t we stay there you ask? Well, we didn’t bring the Ol’ Mish with us. We got two weeks worth of timeshare kindly provided by Marlene’s parents.
Last month, we made a quick trip up to Lake Casitas for a weekend away in our Airstream. It would be a last one for awhile… since we are awaiting the arrival of the newest addition to our family.

During our last trip to Las Vegas, we got to hang out for a bit in this beautifully refurbished custom Airstream.
Well… OK, it’s not OUR Airstream (I wish, and for good reason which you will soon find out). We are just visiting, but isn’t it nice? Check out the nice patio set that is set up right behind it and the not-at-all-cliché map of the U.S. made from each state’s license plate on the wall. But something is not quite right…
Check this out! A 1978 24′ Airstream Argosy…painted a fantastic fire engine red. And I thought we stood out on the freeway! Hehe. Congrats you two!! Check out more photos on their website. (photo courtesy of itty bitty birdy’s flickr account) the end, marlene
