Alumination is here!

Full disclosure…living full-time in a 30′ Airstream is not for everyone! I know I have a few friends who think I’m absolutely crazy to move from a bricks & mortar country home in Ojai, California where we lived for two decades into a 220′ square foot home on wheels, with two large dawgs in tow! Little did we know in February 2006 when we purchased our very first Airstream (now on #6) that we would eventually be living the full-time dream exploring the United States and Canada in our aluminum adventure pod.

Now, with almost three years of rolling in the rear view mirror, and more adventures than we can count, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the time we have had exploring this beautiful country. From Alaska to Key West, San Diego to Maine, this vagabond lifestyle definitely agrees with us.

A just-released film which shares the history of Airstreams, ‘Alumination’, shines a spotlight on Wally Byam who created Airstreams in the 1930s. In the film you’ll see that we are definitely not the most adventurous ‘Streamers (can you say Capetown to Cairo?), but rather we are just two people who are passionate about the brand, meeting new people, savoring life experiences and exploring just about every inch of this country.

Grab your popcorn and enjoy the film, for a nominal fee. We feel Director Eric Bricker did an outstanding job in putting together so many moveable parts, brilliantly! The essence of Airstreams, the history, the open road, the friendships…all of this we are fortunate enough to experience daily. Narrated by Kate Pierson of the B52s, keep an eye out and you’ll see our 1954 Airstream, Pearl, in the opening/closing scenes.
