Rally & Luncheon Reviews 2012

These are the reviews of SNU luncheons and rallies that were published in SNU newsletters. Most were written by Diane Leipper unless otherwise indicated.

January 2012 – Luncheon at the Black Bear in Fernley

Dyann Thornburg

January's SNU luncheon at the Black Bear Cafe in Fernley was great. Oh so much food I couldn't begin to eat it all. Next time we're there I'm going to see if someone would like to share with me. We had a fantastic turnout also, a total of 17 people. I was glad to see everyone had survived the holidays in good shape. Cecilia Stansbury had just returned from the IBT meeting and gave us a rundown of what took place. She was interviewed for the position of WBCCI secretary and she says she thinks it went very well. She said that since she is the only one running for the position she really wasn't too terribly worried but she did need to brush up on the policies and bylaws. Apparently there was a lot of negative comments from members regarding the motorhome amendment and therefore it has been withdrawn but will still be up for a vote at the Delegates Meeting during the International Rally this year. This didn't quite make sense to me so if you need clarification I suggest you talk to Cecilia. Bob Stansbury brought the new poster for the 2013 Hobo Rally, IBT Meeting and the Regional Rally. They're going with the Flamingos again and are reusing the decorations from the 2011 Regional Rally. I think this is a excellent way to save costs and everyone at that rally loved the theme. I received an email from Judy Bechthold letting us know where the next three International Rallies are slated to be held: 2012 in Sedalia, MO, 2013 in Huron, SD, and in 2014 in Gillette, WY so hopefully this will give you enough time to plan to attend one or all of them. They're still working on the schedule for the Hobo Rally (February 6 - 12, 2012) but she says it should be out shortly. If you will be attending please let me know and I'll make sure you get a copy. Bob Stansbury has volunteered to be the SNU Delegate at the 2012 Delegates Meeting being held at the International Rally in Sedalia. Thank you Bob! We sincerely appreciate him stepping forward to do this because I have a feeling it's going to be a very long meeting. I hope everyone is prepared to go through what we did last year with all the amendments for the WBCCI Constitution Revision being voted on separately. To refresh everyone's memory this was suppose to take place in 2011 but was postponed in order to give members enough time to review the proposed changes and make their decisions. You will be voting as individual members to the Unit and then the majority vote for each amendment will be given to our delegate who will vote for the Unit as a whole. Needless to say this is very important, it could change a lot of how the organization operates and it's to your benefit to become informed and vote. I will be taking votes again starting this month so be prepared. We'll also be voting on Cecilia becoming the WBCCI secretary. We wish her the best of luck and I can't think of a better person to take on the position. I sincerely hope to see you at this month's luncheon being held on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at the Overland in Gardnerville, NV.

February 2012 – Luncheon at the Overland in Gardnerville

Dyann Thornburg

February's luncheon at the Overland Hotel in Gardnerville had another great turnout and I was extremely happy to see everyone who was there. During our business meeting I brought up an option to doing the voting on the WBCCI Constitution Revision this year by the SNU board members for the entire membership. Since the SNU membership's mind frame is known from the voting we did last year, I felt this would be the best way to go about doing it this time around. To do it this way was put up for a vote and approved unanimously. If you were not in attendance at the luncheon and prefer to vote yourself please let me know and I would be more than happy to accept your vote via snail mail or email. Bob Stansbury also reported on the Region 12 Hobo Rally. He said the attendance this year was down a lot from previous years. Apparently there were many Region 12 members that became ill and could not attend. He stated the only attendee from the SNU was Von Gallion. Way to go Von! (And thanks at least we had one.) It's time to get your Airstream out of storage and ready for our first rally of 2012. It is being held at the Mason Valley Wildlife Area from March 22nd - 25th. Diane has given excellent directions in this newsletter and I look forward to seeing everyone there. Have a great month.

March 2012 – Rally at Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area

Dyann Thornburg

Well, the first rally for 2012 is over and it was great to get out. Cabin fever was really beginning to set in. Thursday when we arrived the weather was beautiful and we had lunch outside. From that point on we ended up having to eat inside due to the wind. One night around 2 am I took the dogs out and it was great. The temp had to be in the 60's and no wind, by 5 am though it had turned cold. It was good to have Wheels and Doris, Gary Haskett, and Diane and Bryan with us. A small group this time but it was a good thing because we all were able to fit into one trailer for dinners.

April 2012 - Rally at Pyramid

Forecasts of high winds and occasional showers didn't intimidate those of us heading for the rally at Pyramid Lake. What most of us did do was head out earlier Thursday so we could get settled before the winds picked up. Thursday we did spend most of the day inside listening to the few brief showers pitty pat on the roof. We got a very nice surprise at this rally. Don and Gail came up with their brand new 2012 Airstream. They happened to be close (Death Valley) so decided to come to the rally un-announced. It was great to see them and to see their new Airstream. RoyLaine came to the rally with Scout, the dog they rescued from Scout Camp last fall. He has filled out, grown up, and looks great. He's a big energetic boy and it gave Roy quite a workout taking him on walks. Scout is turning into a really good dog and a great watch dog. After Thursday, the weather the rest of the weekend was just about perfect. Almost no wind and very comfortable temperatures. Rather unusual for Pyramid Lake. Other people at the rally included Jerry & Dyann, Wheels & Doris, Mike & Cindy, Bryan & Diane and Roger & Janet. Doris went on a cruise since we saw her at the last rally. Part of the trip included a visit to New Orleans. With the SNU in mind, Doris picked up Mardi Gras bead necklaces with pink flamingos for the ladies in our group. We all wore them during the Pyramid Lake rally. Thank you Doris for thinking of us. Saturday Bruce and Kathy flew over the rally in their Cessna. They got some great pictures of the rally from the air. We waved to them as they flew over. They have ordered a 2013 Bambi from Sutton in Oregon. Sometime soon they will visit us on the ground with their new Bambi. Another Airstreamer stopped by for a short visit. He is a fulltimer and was staying at the RV park by Sutcliff. He remembered us from a previous rally at Pyramid. Cindy introduced a new treat to the SNU for dinner Saturday. Taco salad in a bag. She had the individual size bags of Doritos chips and all the other ingredients. You open a bag, put in the ingredients you want and eat it right out of the bag. Pretty nifty idea and very tasty. After dinner it was a perfectly calm and beautiful evening. We built a nice campfire and just enjoyed the scenery. The SNU's newest member. Laura Funk stopped by. She has an older Airstream which needs a little work. We all chipped in with ideas and suggestions. Mike and Cindy offered to have her caravan with them to a rally sometime. Don spent a good part of the weekend working on amateur radio parts. Bryan spent some time listening in on various ham bands. Jerry and Dyann made a quick trip into Sparks on Saturday. All of us did a little reading, a lot of visiting, and a lot of relaxing and just enjoying the good company, good food, and good weather.

May 2012 – Eagle Lake, Rocky Point Rally

Six Airstreams participated in the May rally at Eagle Lake, Rocky Point. The weekend started off with stormy skies, wind and even some thunder that shook the trailers. By Friday the weather cleared and the rest of the weekend was close to perfect. Rally participants included Jerry and Dyann, Wheels & Doris, Bryan & Diane, Randy & Vicki, Roger & Janet and Baxter & Marlene. It seems the fish weren't biting so the only other people there were the camp hosts. Randy, Vicki, Baxter & Marlene enjoyed several hikes down the road, over the hills, and around the shoreline. Roger's bumper needed some work so Jerry got some tools and crawled under the trailer to work on that. A few other repair and maintenance jobs also got taken care of over the weekend. There was also the usual discussions on various trailer and RV related topics, lots of time for inspirational naps, time to read a book, time for some great SNU shared meals, and of course lots of time to enjoy the scenery and the great company. On Sunday, Randy and Vicki headed out early to visit friends in Oregon and watch the solar eclipse. The Jeppson's, and Thornburg's headed home by mid-morning. The Wheeler's, Leipper's, & Swaffer's stayed over and watched the eclipse in a more creative style. Using a cardboard box with a very small hole in it as a pinhole camera (wikipedia), we could clearly see the darker circle of the moon pass by the light crescent of the sun. Pretty neat. Sunday night we had an informal BBQ. Monday morning after an impromptu breakfast of eggs with sausage & cheese, English muffins & raisin bread toast, cantaloupe, and coffee everyone packed up and headed for home. In an email from Randy after the rally, he said that on their way to Oregon they came upon some cattle being herded down the road. Needless to say, that encounter required a thorough cleaning of their Airstream. Randy said it wasn't quite as bad as cleaning off Mormon crickets from a trip to a rally in 2005. Another great rally with stories to add to the SNU memory books.

June 2012 – Rally at Crocker Campground

What a weekend! Despite one member with a sore foot, one with a bum knee and others dealing with various other ailments, we had nine rigs at our rally at Crocker. Everyone seems to think an SNU rally is the best therapy for whatever ails you. Getting nine rigs parked in among the pine trees and around some boulders helped us hone our parking and leveling skills. Rally participants included Jerry & Dyann, Wheels & Doris, Roger & Janet, Gary & Anita, Bryan & Diane, Randy & Vicki, Frank & Carol, Baxter & Marlene and new members Shelly & Dean. Shelly and Dean brought their granddaughter, Jessielynn, who at nine months is the youngest rally participant the SNU has had. We haven't seen Frank and Carol in a while so it was great being able to catch up on what they have been doing. The SNU gained another new member at this rally. Steve Erickson and his wife Jan. Steve came up for a visit Friday. He has a 1983 Airstream Motorhome which is currently having some work done. He and Jerry had a good time swapping MoHo stories. Hopefully we'll see Steve & Jan soon with their Airstream. Baxter and Marlene have been busy promoting the SNU. They have discovered several Airstreams in their neighborhood and have been leaving SNU information with them. As for the Crocker rally, other than the wind and somewhat cool temps, it was a great rally. Randy and Vicki unveiled their latest creative effort. As with the diorama they created in 2006, this art piece is a work in progress. Sunday, Randy, Dean and Diane had a very productive brainstorming session about it which I'm sure means that the next time this art piece shows up at a rally there will be modifications. Frank and Bryan set up their ham radio stations as this weekend was Field Day. Although conditions weren't ideal, both made several contacts. Wheels was having trouble with his hot water heater. Saturday he and Jerry got to work on it and got it working like it should. The Swaffer's and Grossmann's took a nice walk Saturday to the top of the ridge about 2 miles from the rally site. They enjoyed some great view of the surrounding area. Gary and Anita initiated their new flagpole and flew the SNU, U.S., and Nevada flags. We had shared meals on Friday and Saturday and as usual, had quite a variety and no shortage of food. Friday before dinner Dyann asked for a moment of silence in memory of Wes Warn. Sunday we had what old timer Airstreamers call a “mustgo” breakfast. Marlene had some leftover ham and Diane had eggs so we scrambled them all up with some other ingredients for a tasty breakfast. Dyann, Doris, and Vicki contributed some breakfast breads, Shelly brought some bacon and biscuits. A good way to start the day and everyone started home with a full stomach. Baxter and Marlene headed off to Grayeagle to meet up with their hiking group. As it turns out, Frank and Carol were heading for the same RV park to meet some Airstream friends. This rally proves once again that no matter what the conditions, the SNU family has a great time. We just enjoy being together sharing another great adventure and creating more great memories.

July 2012 - Rally at Weed Heights

Everyone who attended the July rally at Weed Heights fully appreciated that the air conditioners in their Airstreams worked just fine and that we had electricity to run them. We also appreciated the nice shady trees and the fact that the park sits up where it can get lots of breeze (wind). Having a cool club house for dinnertime was another benefit. Those who attended the rally were Dean & Shelly, Jerry & Dyann, Wheels & Doris, Roger & Janet, and Bryan & Diane. Friday Steve Erickson stopped by for a nice visit and Saturday Roylaine came out for a visit. Doris brought out some unique flamingos that had come her way recently. Despite her best salesman techniques, she just couldn't get anybody to take them home. Even though we considered leaving them as décor for the club house, or passing them from one SNU member to another, in the end the flamingos went home again with the Wheelers. Friday morning Wheels drove to the nearby local bakery and brought back a box of very fresh donuts and other goodies that went perfect with our morning coffee. Other activities during the rally included Wheels spending part of the weekend participating in a Civil Air Patrol exercise. Roger and Janet took a ride into town to see how it's changed since they lived there. Roger also shared some of his experiences working at the nearby Anaconda mining pit when he was a young squirt. Dean and Shelly also went into Yerrington and visited the museum. Jerry, who has been working some long hours without many days off, spent part of his time polishing his Airstream and truck. Shelly checked out some of the geocaching sites nearby. Most of us spent some time reading, taking inspirational naps, just relaxing, and staying cool. Saturday we had our omelets in a bag breakfast. In addition to omelets, Doris and Shelly brought some bacon. Shelly cooked up some potatoes and we also had some cantaloupe. Saturday evening we had our usual shared meal with lots of great food including some pulled pork that Dyann had cooked in her crock pot. Dyann, Roger and Janet collaborated on a special treat for dessert – root beer floats. That was the perfect way to end a hot day. In addition to those unique flamingos, Wheels and Doris were showcasing a new set of flamingo lights along their awing. These change color and they looked really neat after dark. Sunday, after morning coffee and goodies, everyone started packing up to head home before the heat of the day. A very enjoyable weekend at Weed Heights RV Park.

August 2012 - Obsidian Dome Rally

The August Obsidian rally was full of surprises and new adventures. It started off with the Thornburg's and Leipper's making an emergency stop in Hawthorne on the way to the rally. Jerry must of hit something going through a construction zone and it shredded one of the tires on his Airstream. While it was getting replaced, Bryan started the generator on the B-Van so we could turn on the air conditioner. Dyann, Diane, four dogs, one cat, and two tortoises hunkered down in the B-Van to try and stay cool. Coming from the South, Victor, Bobbi & son William followed by Marla in her B-Van were stopped not far south of the turn off to Obsidian while a flock of sheep crossed the highway. Randy and Vicki hit something on their way to the rally and did a job on the steps of their Airstream. Everyone else arrived safely and without incident. We were delighted to have Barney and Mary Beth join us at the rally. They are fairly new members of the SNU and this was their first rally. On Saturday we had some special guests, Ted and Laura Nolan from the Nevada Unit. Ted and Laura were starting a two week trip with their newly remodeled and shiny 1971 Overlander. We alll oo'd and ahh'd over this unique Airstream. Obsidian provided a cool retreat after the Nolan's first night at Stove Pipe Wells in Death Valley. Victor, Bobbi, William, and Marla are with the San Fernando Valley Unit. This was Marla's first Obsidian rally. As for the SNU, in addition to those already mentioned, Wheels and Doris were also there. That made a total of 8 Airstreams, 16 people, and 10 dogs representing 3 WBCCI Units. The new dogs included the Rabold's two, Scooby a mixture of Jack Russell and Beagle and Coho a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The other was Marla's greyhound Mario. Marla just adopted Mario a month ago. He is already enjoying traveling and going to rallies. Diane's greyhound Jack, thought it was pretty neat to have another greyhound at the rally. Randy unveiled his latest enhancement to the “Thing”. He has added a few more solar lights and tweaked a few things here and there. It looks pretty amazing, especially after dark. The highlight of this rally were the special breakfasts we had on Friday and Saturday morning. Friday Bobbi, Marla and Doris put together eggs in toast. This requires cutting a hole in the middle of a piece of bread and breaking an egg into the hole. Diane's chickens supplied all the eggs for breakfast. We also had bacon and lots of fruit. Dyann had picked up a variety of melons locally grown around Fallon as a sampler of what to expect at the Cantaloupe Festival rally coming up over Labor Day. It was really neat to taste the various melons all of which were yummy. Saturday, Randy did his famous waffles. This meal came with a variety of syrups and more fruit and bacon. Then there were the dinners! As usual, the SNU shared meals are something to behold. Lots of great food. Everything from salads to casseroles, to desserts with enough variety to tempt everyone's taste buds. There were activities other than fixing food and eating though. These included lots of hiking up the Obsidian Dome, along the creek to the waterfall, and hikes to various other spots near the campsite. The San Fernando contingent had some lively games of dominoes in the evenings. Victor and William got some exercise chopping the limbs off a fallen tree. Bryan listened in on some of the ham radio bands. There were also inspirational naps and reading and relaxing during the heat of the day. On Saturday, Bryan started to take the coffee out of the trailer and heard a sort of hissing noise. There was a small bear on the fallen tree near the trailer. The bear ambled over to the tree where we had our tables set up. We had forgotten to put the trash can in a truck so the bear was checking it out. He ambled off so we got the trash put away. Needless to say, we were much more diligent about getting things put away after that. We had several visitors at our rally. When we arrived Thursday, Wheels and Doris had befriended a woman who was out here to hike. We invited a woman camping down by the creek with her dog up for coffee and waffles on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon a couple on dirt bikes stopped by to say hi. It is always interesting to watch people drive by our rally site as they are usually amazed, considering the road and location, to see not just one, but several Airstreams parked here. Saturday the clouds started building up soon after breakfast. We could hear thunder in the distance. Before long we had a few little showers. These continued along with occasional thunder off and on all afternoon. The great thing was that these showers lowered the temperature which made it very pleasant. The showers abated during our happy hour and dinner although our meal was accompanied by a concert of thunder. About 8pm when everyone was ready to head to their Airstream we had another nice rain shower. Sunday we had coffee and goodies before hitting the road and heading for home. Obsidian is becoming a special annual rally that everyone looks forward to. It is especially nice to have members from other Units join us for this rally. We know Victor and Bobbi will be back and we sincerely hope to see Marla again. We also hope to see Ted and Laura and maybe some other members of the Nevada Unit at future Obsidian rallies.

September 2012 – Rally at the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival

What a weekend! Pink flamingos, the sound of whinnying horses, pink flamingos, rain showers with thunder and lightening, pink flamingos, the smell of cows, pink flamingos, cantaloupes, pink flamingos, the smell of popcorn, pink flamingos, the thumping of the bands playing on stage, pink flamingos, Indian tacos, pink flamingos, allergies, pink flamingos, a very special birthday celebration and so much more. This was definitely NOT your typical SNU rally but everyone had a great time and wants to go back next year. There were eight (one in disguise) Airstreams at this rally. Dean & Shelly from Downieville and Russ & Debbie from Yuba City had the longest drives to the rally site. This was Russ and Debbie's first SNU rally. It was great to meet them and have them join us for the weekend. Russ and Debbie are both ham radio operators. The SNU now has 13 hams, almost half our membership. We hope we'll see Russ and Debbie frequently in the coming years. Rally participants also included Wheels & Doris, Gary & Anita, Bryan & Diane, Baxter & Marlene, RoyLaine, and Jerry & Dyann who had a long and arduous eight mile commute to the rally site from their home in Fallon. Sunday SNU member, Steve Erickson stopped by for a visit. His MoHo is still having some work done on it. Hopefully it will be all finished in time for the rally at Hickison. Thursday was arrival day for the rally and set-up day for the Festival. Friday was the first official day of the Cantaloupe Festival. We decided that instead of our usual shared meal to walk over to the Festival for dinner. Jerry had gotten some Indian tacos earlier in the day and that got everyone wanting to try them for themselves. Most of us got tacos but a few tried some of the other food vendors. There was definitely something for everyone. We also wandered around and visited the other vendors at the Festival. The Lattin Farms spot was high on everyone's priority list. Although apparently the Hearts of Gold cantaloupes ripened early this year and there weren't many for the Festival, there were lots of other delicious melons. There was also a good variety of other farm fresh produce. When we got back to the campsite we sat around for a while and enjoyed a beautiful evening. Having electricity, several of us hung up decorative lights on our awnings. These augmented our solar lights. All these lights made our campsite look pretty special in the dark, especially with the blue lights on Russ and Debbie's awning. The entertainment started up and although we could hear the thumping of the bass till after 11pm, almost everyone got a good nights sleep. Saturday was the first day of the Fallon Lions Club Junior Rodeo. The open area by the campground filled up fast with horse trailers and horses. It was kind of neat listening to the horses whinnying nearby and watching some of the kids practicing their roping skills. Saturday we had a shared meal in the evening. I think the SNU cooks could provide some good competition for the food vendors. After we had a chance to digest our meal, Dyann and Doris brought out cantaloupe and ice cream for dessert. Sunday was the big event of the rally. Sept 1 was Dean and Shelly's granddaughter, Jessielynn's first birthday. Shelly has gotten a bad case of pink flamingo fever so this birthday party was a pink flamingo extravaganza. Jessielynn's dress had pink flamingos on it. The birthday cake was decorated with pink flamingos and also an Airstream. Dean and Shelly's whole campsite was decorated with a variety of pink flamingos. Doris's unique pink flamingos made the perfect back drop for the buffet table. Doris's pink flamingo crown fit Jessilynn perfectly. Dean BBQ'd some chicken and Shelly cooked some corn on the cob. Other people contributed a variety of salads, dips and other goodies. It was quite a feast. After we ate we watched Jessielynn open her birthday presents with her Dad, Jessie assisting. This was definitely a birthday party nobody will forget. As if the Cantaloupe Festival, the Jr rodeo, and the birthday party weren't enough excitement for the weekend, there were also a few trips into town to do some shopping or go walking in a nearby park. Perfect weather, perfect weekend. What more could you ask for.

October 2012 – Rally at Lahontan

What a gorgeous weekend! Due to weather concerns the rally location was changed to Lahontan. We decided to try out the civilized campground at beach 7 rather than our usual dispersed area. Except for one other camper, we had the whole place to ourselves. On the downside, if you wanted to fish or go boating you were out of luck. The reservoir was empty! None of us had ever seen it that totally empty We spread out and took full advantage of the empty campsites. This campground has had extensive work done on in recently. The roads and campsites are paved, the restrooms (closed this time of year) and other facilities look fairly new and there were cement walkways to the facilities. After Thursday, the weather couldn't have been better. Warm days and very little wind made our Friday and Saturday dinners outside very enjoyable. The almost full moon made the evenings pretty spectacular. Jerry and Bryan brought firewood. A nice campfire took the chill off the mornings. We were delighted to be joined by LeRoy and Jeannie Waldo (WBCCI #5065) from Arizona. They were on their way home from the Region 11 Rally in Cortez. We had a good time swapping stories and hearing about LeRoy and Jeannie's travels. Saturday Roylaine came out for the day. Other rally participants were Jerry & Dyann and Bryan & Diane. This weekend was the CQ Worldwide Sweepstakes and Bryan was getting great ham radio signals from all over. Some contacts included Australia, Japan. Brazil and China. We later heard that SNU friend, Bruce flew over Lahontan in his vintage Cessna. He didn't see us in the trees but Diane saw him flying down the empty reservoir. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

November 2012 – Luncheon at El Charro

El Charro, as always was a great place for the SNU November luncheon. It was really nice to see several people we haven't seen in a while, Baxter & Marlene, home from travels in Mexico. Barney & Mary Beth, taking a break from some major landscaping work in their yard. Roger & Janet home from an extended visit with family in Michigan. Randy & Vicki recuperating from an aborted trip to Texas. Mike has been busy at work and he and Cindy have also been busy moving family here and there. Other members at the lunch were Gary & Anita, RoyLaine, Dyann, and Bryan & Diane. Dyann and Mike came without spouses as Jerry had to work this Saturday and Cindy had another commitment. We were also delighted to welcome Cindy Merrell. Cindy saw the lunch announcement in the local paper and called. Cindy has a 1967 Overlander she bought about a year ago. We look forward to having Cindy join us at rallies next year. Bob Stansbury stopped by. He and wife Cecilia have a host of family members visiting them so they weren't able to come for lunch. The last visit we had with Bob and Cecilia was at the SNU rally in Fallon. Bob is Region 12 first VP and Cecilia was elected WBCCI recording secretary in July so their schedules are pretty full. We do hope they can squeeze in an SNU rally sometime next year. Great food and great company made for a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday.

December 2012 – Luncheon at Louis' Basque Corner

This was the first time the SNU has had lunch at Louis' Basque Corner in Reno and I think everyone agrees that it won't be the last. The food and service were great. Although it is a little difficult to do much visiting at the lunches we did manage to share Christmas plans and other upcoming activities. Right after the lunch, Baxter and Marlene headed to Calistoga to house and dog sit for one of their kids. Barney and Mary Beth will be going to the Rose Parade rally at the end of December. We look forward to hearing all about that experience. It looks like Bob and Cecilia will be on the road most of 2013. They plan on participating in a couple of WBCCI Caravans as well as the International Rally and other Unit and Region rallies. The rest of us – Jerry & Dyann, Randy, Mike & Cindy, and Bryan and Diane will be spending Christmas with family and friends. We all look forward to a great year in 2013, one that includes participating lots of SNU rallies and other Airstream outings.
