August 28, 2023 - ANOTHER DAY AT AIRSTREAM



Back to the Mothership! We had decided to take my mom and stepdad over to the Airstream factory. They had not been to the new factory yet. 



The morning tour that we took was over in part of the old factory. Here we saw where the Basecamps are made. To get there we walked past the service center bay doors. Saw a bunch of the REIs being made! The new REI Co-op Special Edition 20X model is huge for a basecamp and has some really cool features. Expanding the opportunity for adventure! We also got to go see just a little more of the Touring Coaches again. 



Heidi’s Hideout was where we went for lunch again! Delicious. Hopefully I can recover from the fried bologna and hamburger sandwich that I made a special request for and ate. I really don’t think it was very healthy. But it was so tasty!! Exactly what I was hoping to get over in Waldo yesterday. 


Tim copied me!!

After lunch we made our way back over to the new Airstream factory where we took the travel trailer tour again. We had a very interesting tour. Didn’t expect anything less. Just so fascinating seeing this American Icon be put together. And to see those working there be proud of their work. 





Wish we could take pictures in the factory but for the privacy of those working they don’t allow any photography inside the factory. After our afternoon tour we took another spin through the Heritage Center. So amazing that it exists and every time I go in there I realize I have missed something previously. 





Unfortunately tomorrow brings a travel day. We were hoping to stay a few days longer. Even tossed around the idea of attending Alumapalooza that happens next week at the Airstream factory. However Hurricane Idalia is knocking on the west coast of Florida. We will begin heading south and position ourselves in north Georgia until after the storm passes.
