Vintage RV Show


We had a good time at the show. The" Tin Can Club" as they are known, were so friendly, and love to talk about there old RV's and trailers. There was a young man there of 25, and his Mum was telling me this was his 2nd old trailer he had restored. He found it covered by bushes and it had been there for 14 years. What amazed me he had got the BIG old fridge working again, all the furnishings he got from flea markets and antique shop's. And the old Airstream you can see was hand polished to get the shine and it took a year to do. And we moan when we have to spend 2 days doing our home.



The show was held in Koreshan State park, in Estero, on the US 41. The Koreshans were pioneers, who originally hailed from the Chicago area, and set up their settlement not long after the civil war. They had some very strange religious ideas, about the shape of the earth, and were in the main, celibate.

You can see both your reflections in the trailer. Glad to see Jim up and about. I'm looking forward to getting some good pics of the vultures at Peace River. Stumpy too.
