Our adventures never seem to end or duplicate themselves. We recently have begun to really appreciate our Airstream capsule in many little ways. We think we are so “on it”. We make lists, shop, review lists and itinerary . . . . .then we start our journey and get surprised.
On our trip to Yellowstone we thought we could power through the leg from Santa Cruz to Eagle Idaho. We left after work, we were all packed with everything, dogs, food, presents, new gear for family camping and COFFEE !!!!! About Truckee, California- 6 hours later, dark, snow on the ground, all the rest stops full and kept looking for a safe place to stop. We see a clean well lit gas station with a few semi’s parked. There is an easy spot for us to pull into and we stop. The attendant gave permission so we climbed into our little house, toasty warm and napped. We didn’t even hear the other rigs roll by. We were safe, warm, toasty, had a clean bathroom and food! We did buy gas to say thank you.
This was the first time in seven years of traveling that we had ever done this. I am a little worried about stopping on the roadside to sleep, especially at night. We were so happy to find our safe spot and learn our Airstream home is secure. That was just at the beginning of our adventure.
We have learned that ability to laugh is rule number one! We have historically pushed through to make a deadline. Now we have TIME! I chuckle as I write this. We always have a long drive just to leave California to get to friends and family. So time and space are a challenge. My greatest joy is in the planning. I love research, I dream of adventure and memories with the family.
Our first leg took 11 hours from our home to Eagle, Idaho. We stopped twice for naps, snacks and doggies needs. We arrived far more relaxed than ever and weather was on our side! Wow the difference from winter to spring landscape is amazing!
So nice to really enjoy the journey and not have angst and strife. After all, airstreaming is about the journey😎

That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I do offer a way to keep your air stream clean and shiny WITHOUT ANY CHEMICALS! These are high end microfiber cloths that clean JUST by adding water! They are AMAZING! Lasting for about 4-5 years, they will save you money, your health (priceless) and our environment.
