The first Airstream was my fault. Tim was at work and I found my dream Airstream (‘04 28’ International) online at a dealer just over an hour away. Airstream #2 I acquired about the same way he was at work but it was a risky Craig’s list find. It was a successful purchase (‘48 Liner) and only thirty minutes from the house. So now we had both a usable Airstream and a project Airstream.
Now let’s move forward to present time. Tim has retired and I was at work. He was working on Airstream #2 when he gets a call last week. So this time it’s his fault and this is what has followed him home ...
Airstream #3 now sits in our yard as well. It’s a 1963 Safari. It’s a hot mess but it’s his hot mess. The ‘48 Liner will take a sideline for a few days while he is assessing the hot mess of a situation and getting at least a few layers of crud off. It had sat in a nearby forest since 1976 unmoved. It was a true rescue mission! The best we can tell the owner, at the time, was last inside it in 1984. A time capsule. Left as it was with anticipation of returning to his hunt camp the next winter.
Now we will see how much good a wash does!
