This morning we drove to Jackson Center, Ohio, to visit the Airstream factory and offices. There are almost not sufficient words to describe what a great time we had. Tim Maxwell treated us to a private tour and we were allowed to take as many photos as we liked. Bob tried his hand at riveting (major fail), after which the kind fella who knew how to really do it cut Bob’s botched piece off and handed it to him for a souvenir. We saw the hand-made Airstream process from beginning to end. Proudly made in the USA by the most skilled and hard working people. The place was a joy to behold, at every step along the way. We even saw the super-secret Land Yacht factory, and came away amazed. I can’t imagine pulling a Land Yacht into a state park and cooking over a fire! I think those folks must have a skipper and a chef!
Of course we stopped in the gift shop and tried not to buy the place out. Shhhh…don’t tell anybody…it’s a near certainty that we’re going to get a bigger Airstream sometime around the corner!

Bob said he was wondering where all the firewood was going!
