We arrived last night at the Airstream factory! Alumapalooza 2013 is being held in a large field right behind where they make most wonderful and durable trailers - Airstreams. Still made. Made in the USA. It is hard to describe Alumapalooza other than to say it is a time to gather, meet old friends, and make new friends - all people who love the iconic silver trailers. We've been to the rally festival of fun before, and really have been looking forward to spending a week living the dream. Airstream tagline - "Live More. See More. Do More".
A group of about 60 Airstreamers enjoyed a dinner grilled hamburgers and hot dogs provided by the factory, then enjoyed a cool evening together chatting until dusk.
In the morning, we were to move from the service center to the field.

Behind some of the torsion Airstream axels, we parked in the grass among other trailers on 3 sides of the big tent.

With only maybe half of the Airstreams parking on Tuesday morning, Byam took a nice long run in the west end of the field. The orange dots were painted onto the grass to help position the trailers. Each trailer parks with their hitch directly over the orange flag. Motorhomes park about 3 feet behind the flags. So that regardless of the length of each rig, each of the fronts all line up keeping lanes open for moving trailers. And it makes nice photo opportunities!
