ALUMAPALOOZA 2012 - DAY 3


A works in progress ... At least the first picture represents that. It's a brand spank'n new trailer still on the assembly line inside the Airstream factory.  The next picture is of the bike ride tour getting ready to take off. The last two are a few of the Airstream trailers parked here in the field. We have 175 Airstreams on property so far. And finally this is what the Airstream factory looks like at  night.
