Fall color camping

This year’s fall trip is to Desoto state park in Mentone, Alabama. Ranked as the states number one state park it lives up to the designation. The colors are spectacular this year and we all had a terrific time. Well except for the Alabama LSU game. I had to listen to my two LSU buddies hoot and holler as LSU defeated Alabama 45 to 40.

Highlights of this trip are the Tiny home display, and a visit to Cloudland Canyon.

We ended with a stay back at Tannehill State park where the temp got down to 21F. Brrr but the Airstream stayed cozy thanks to our Propane furnace.

Our home away for awhile. Virginia Highland Haven Is an Airstream only RV Park in the Virginia Highlands. We love it here. Beautiful breezes, wonderful temperatures, and like minded folks.

This was a late day sunset so I’ll get some better pics each day. It’s always the same. Go God!

It has been a while since i last posted

Life gets in the way sometimes and I just lost interest in maintaining the camping blog. Nothing major or serious…just busy, well maybe a bit lazy too.

There have been too many camping trips too mention here. Two new to us Airstreams, and two new to us tow vehicles.

Our 23 foot Oliver was a great little trailer but it became just too small for us. Not that we are huge people…we just like our comfort. We sold the Oliver in 2016 and bought a 2007 Airstream International CCD 28. A great trailer and we enjoyed many nights camping including a very major trip to The Grand Canyon and Zion National Park.

In August 2018 we spent a few nights at #Virginia Highland Haven Airstream Park in Copper Hill Virginia and were completely smitten by the beauty of the Virginia Highlands. Right then and there we decided this would be our Summer home. We have our name on the list to buy a lot and wait excitedly for our turn. Having made that decision we decided an even more comfortable trailer would be in order and began looking for an Airstream Classic with twin beds. The twins are much easier to make up and afford a more open space.

So in October 2018 we took delivery of a beautiful 2007 Classic 31. After switching my 16″ Michelin tires and transferring the solar system to the new trailer we listed the International on Air Forums and within a few hours had a buyer. So there it is. We love the Classic and my 2016 Ram 2500 Cumminsdiesel pulls it with ease.
