Cali Rally Time!

OUR TIME IN CALIFORNIA went by much too quickly! In addition to seeing our much-loved grands and spending time with family, another bright spot in our visit was to attend the every-other-year Cali Rally where we reconnected with so many of our Airstream friends we have missed during our first year as full-timers. The Cali Rally celebrates cowboy California and this one did not disappoint!

Here at the V6 Ranch in Parkfield, California (Population 18 and also the earthquake capital of California smack on top of the San Andreas Fault) is where Airstream trailers from around California and Nevada gathered, unplugged, under a large canopy of oaks for a few days of fun in the sun. This event is one we always look forward to attending, but this year was magical for Jim and I as we brought along g’son, Jack, who we immediately put to work helping to park Airstreams as they arrived.

Over the three-day event we enjoyed various seminars, some outstanding entertainment, line dancing, trail rides, campfires, a swap meet and wonderful meals which all took place in the Community Camp. I found this event ended too quickly and much too soon we were saying our good byes to the Cali Rally and the Golden State of California.
