With the downpours on Friday we ended up inside for the night.
Flying our now traditional Witch Flag in Salem.

Happy Birthday Richard!
Donal in his awsome King Tut costume.
Here I am playing African Drums with Kevin.

Just a reminder on one of the tablecloths how much everyone

missed Bubbles at our Rally!

My very good friend Chuck made us a FinnishFire Log for the Rally

The lighting of the log.

One log for the whole night.

And it did burn all night.

Tradewind Update

Getting ready for the first thrip with his two daughters Jody and I needed to get the front bed conversion completed.
Fridge forward wall completed with heater, step light and switches.


Jody getting the splinters out of my woodwork.


The brand new spare tire with a red Bullseye!

I guess Jody had a tough day!

Freeport, Maine

Almost a full moon over the bay.

It's official, I am now a Trustee of our Unit.

We love bringing our dogs to rallies!

Here are Belle and Abby.

Welcome to Maine!

Being right on the bay we had lots of fog.

There were plenty of helpers with breakfast.

Here you can almost see half of the Airstreams.

Our good friend Jim who always keeps the home fires burning.

Birthday

One of the many things we love to do when out with out Airstreams is cook and eat!






Sitting around our campfire is always a gathering place where friends join us or we just have time for ourselves.







Birthday party toys!







Jody's Birthday cake by the campfire. Double chocolate!










Another great night of camping.

Fisherman's Island

Just getting settled in, the Safari front left and the Tradewind in the back.

Here is the center of our sites together where friends will be gathering.

We were able to borrow Amanda's guitar for the evening.

Sandi with some of our NEU friends during the diner gathering.


Wiggles became the "Green Monster"

Sunday in PA

On Sundays in PA there are a lot of things closed but still some fun things to do. We decided we were going to head into Adamstown to do some antiqueing.

Surprise! The top door hinge broke so opening the fridge became a two person job. We will need to get this repaired ASAP.










Looks like we will be living out of a cooler next weekend till a new door comes in.

Hamburg, PA

We have a wonderful view of the PA countryside right from our site. This is the seconf time we have camped here and its a very clean campground, alows on RV's with not tent site. They have all the baic needs with nothing fancy. We like this campground for its location.








Once again we are the only Airstream here.














Well it took me long enough but our Airstream Cribbage board is no finished and standard equipment in our rig. We secured all the parts from the Airstream Plant in JC on our last visit. The aluminum was from a vista windoe cutout, and all the buck rivits and interior rivits along with the nameplate are right off the plant floor.

Happy hour at 3411!

And we had Belle with us in this trip, which she just loves traveling with us.

Cabela's

Once again off we are to one of our favorite shopping spots, Cablea's. We have only a few items on our shopping list this trip, but any excuse to head to Hamburg!

Of course Belle kept want to know "Are we there yet?"





Jimmy, Gerogia, Costa and Rhea gave us a very generous wedding gift to Cabela's which we were very happy to receive.











This trip, Belle had company in the kennell.

Caving in New York

Arriving in the Historic Catskill Mountains hoping for cooler weather.







Unfortunatly, it was 95 and climbing.











Emma came over Sunday morning to help with our big breakfast.











Here is Rich, the brave one, going into the cave first.











One last final check of their gear before heading in.











Sandi walking the river through Perry Avenue. Water temps below 50 while we estimated cave temp at 48.













Taking a quick warming rest, Emma, Rich and Elanore.











Just one of the tight spots and this one wasn't a bad one. We couldn't take any photos in the smaller crawls for obvious reasons.











Coming out of a crawl into a comfortable sized cavern. In this cave a cavern is defined as any space you can stand











Found some great rock formations on a slide which is one of the places we actually found by mistake. It turned out to be a dead end but well worth the extra effort.















Four and a half hours later we had explored 80% of the cave. Emma and Elanore left us at the halway point before we got into the harder part of the cave. Soaked up to our necks in mud, rock and cold water we had a great exploration.
