Booger Lights On the Road

The fall of the year is when we do most of our roadwork.  When we go out to do research for the blog and books, we go in style.  Sure, there are fancy rigs on the road that can cost up tp a half mil, but nothing turns heads like an Airstream.  They are way cool.

1987 Airstream 345 Motorcoach

A lot of people who weren’t around during the Apollo moonshots have never seen an Airstream coach before.  Up until recently NASA still used one to carry astronauts to the launch pad.  There’s nothing like them.  When they were made (most of them in the 1980′s) they cost around a hundred grand.  The shiny aluminum skin is a lot more durable than todays fiberglass sandwich material that likes to delaminate.  And at used prices they are most affordable.  Nothing strikes up a conversation at the campground or the rest stop like our mobile research and recreation vehicle.
