Here is AirstreamHobo Family...Obie..Carol..Addy..Mason

Sat,June 26,2010Then Open House started with hundreds town people coming to see all the Airstreams and to stay for the fireworks. Lots of curious onlookers, I think we may have some future Airstreamers. Then It got dark, there is no way to explain a small town fireworks..45 minutes long, many groups of multi-shots. Then the end was Spectacular !!!! I give it a 10 star rating ********** Then a campfire with Antsy again this started after 11 am and lasted well past midight!!! ZZZZZZ I can't stop thinking about what we did in just one day at the Bash!!

Sunday..Breakfast ...same full menu... Then swimming... I won 2 tickets to the Classic Car Museum in Norwich. So this afternoon I took Doug Rowbottom along to see the cars"Happy Birthday Doug" Later we sang to him at happy hour(yes we had them everyday ay 4-5pm).

At the sunday happy hour a woman came from the food bank, Rob introduced her and gave her lots of can goods and other food supplies enough to fill her car. He then shocked her by saying we also had a fundraiser by selling the 80th space at the Bash also some more donations adding up to a total of $1,260.00 in checks. She said this was a BIG HELP to their group..Thank-You..Thank-you is all she could say!!!
About half the airstreams pulled out today for home..work was their excuse??? So we had potluck supper again with those that were left, followed with home made cranked ice cream.
We are out of firewood, but we sit around in the dark and talk till late hours... The Moon was full this week Large Orange each night, we even saw the Satelite Space Station fly over each night. They are calling for rain tonight, so most of us tear down and packed everything tonight.
Monday,June 28,2010...one more time A Full Breakfast for those that are left. We then help tear down the chairs and tables for later pick-up. Bye...Bye..lots of hugs and vowed to return again next year!!! I pull out at 10am and arrive home at 4:30pm, the grand kids were glad to see Mom & Dad...so were we!!! Now I know why you have kids when you are young!!! I hope the memories that my grand kids have will stay with them forever or until they buy their own Airstream. This whole week was Planned by a crew of 4... Rob,Frank,John & Steve and was pulled off with volunteers also. What a Blast!! I can see this growing every year..so mark your calendars and sign up when you hear next years dates!!! Till the next Bash!!! http://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/BirthdayBashKids

They started a little early to keep up with the crowd. Everyone was fed in short order..Excellant Delmonico's!!! Then we gave out lots of door prizes,at least 50 of them. I don't want to miss the sponsors of the gifts, but I want to mention just one..A USA Flag was one of them that was flown over The Arizona Memorial from Hawaii, I thought that was just an awesome door prize.

What a Beautiful sight from the Air...Pictures by Ace




This am started at 6:30, time to help with the breakfast crew. I was on the bacon crew,Deb Bebe made some to, then she made potatoes. Ace made eggs, Steve made pancakes, Frank did all the stations. I never saw a man so gung ho as Frank, he is a hard working man at all jobs in this Bash. People started coming at 7 am and continues till 9am.

Then we have a break till 10:45 am, when Ace rents a plane to fly over the field of airstreams. I suggest we have a human sign of "BASH" I get some help to layout rope/cords in the shape of "BASH" We decided to have everyone fill out the rope with the kids standing on the "H" , here comes Ace...smile look up!!! We wave and then breakup the name then gather in just a group. Then we disperse to our trailers for a plain field look. All the shots were "Fantasic" Ace landed a little while later with the biggest smile I ever saw..he kept saying what an awesome sight from the air. He went to town to get pictures printed,he got 3 different shots made up and sold them later for $3.00/each to recover the cost of plane and prints. Guess what ???? he sold out, he had to get more on sunday.

Then off to visit your neighbors, many are socializing all day. At 2 pm Doug Rowbottom gave a demo on dent pulling on an Airstream..wow..cool tool.
The happy hour started at 4-6 pm then off to a pot luck supper, do you know what 75 different dishes look like? All I know is we were stuffed. Back to the airstream, we are waiting for Antsy McCain to play at the fire pit. Great Airstream Folk Songs.

June 21,2010 on the road to New York, The Birthday Bash

AirstreamHobo is on the road again!!! Yeah!!! This time Mom and me are traveling with 2 of our grandkids, Mason & Addy. We hit the road at 9am and arrived at South Plymouth,NY. at 3pm, total of 225 miles. We arrived to see Frank Yansen and Steve Klohn laying out the field. I parked at the side and started to help with the 2nd wagon wheel and then 3 &4 wheel was laid-out. A total of 87 flags were placed and ready for the gang coming this week.
Hot..Hot..Hot on the hill what a view of the valley, beautiful farm owned by Rob & Zoe Baker our Hosts. Ater we were all marked off, I picked a spot and parked for the week. We are level, awnings out, rug and chairs are placed. We have a beautiful view of the mountain side.
The Kids and Mom went to the Baker pool while Frank, Steve & I worked. After a taco salad supper the kids and I went to pool. Refreshing is an understatement...good..good..cool feeling. The Baker kids and us played water tag for a while, till we were all played out.
Now we are just sitting under the awning listening to the birds..crickets and some other unknown noises, awesome is the countryside. So Peaceful and noise free of the big city buzz, give me the farm anytime. Well the Birthday Bash will start in a few days with a few coming each day.

The official start day is thursday. 85 rigs are planned so far from 32 states, this is the greatest way to meet travelers from all over the USA and Canada. Well time to rest some more and enjoy the peaceful noise.Why don't you join us??
God Bless, AirstreamHobo and Carol and Mason and Addy.
