2017-02-18 Deer Creek SP (First Campout!)

We picked up our new Airstream 26U on Friday, February 17th and after several hours at the dealership buying it, going over it, etc. we immediately headed out on our first campout with it to nearby Deer Creek State Park in Mt. Sterling, OH where several friends met us for the weekend campout. I really need to start taking more pictures of people. HA! Most of these photos are of campers and camping but few of people so I will try and work on that in the future. Anywho, here are the pics. Enjoy!

Here's a picture of a person...me...LOL! A selfie I took inside the trailer to send to family.

 

Friend Pat's new White Water Retro teardrop. Very cool! This was only his second time out in it! Some of you may follow his awesome RV industry blog, The Small Trailer Enthusiast:

Pat set up on one side of me and new Airstream friends Randy & Chris set up on the far side of me -

Met another Airstream couple George & Rose and their friends Doug & Crystal who were in a cool custom class B RV. Their Airstream pictured below is an '84 Sovereign and George recently had it polished and re-clearcoated. Looks great! They have owned this Airstream for 20+ years!

Back at the dealer Monday morning, Haydocy Airstream & RV in Columbus, OH for some very minor warranty work after our first weekend of camping in it.

So we pick up the new Airstream next Friday (Feb. 17, 2017)! Went and saw it today on the way to the Columbus RV show. Got a couple of teaser shots of it today plus we went a week or so ago to the factory in Jackson Center and saw it being built. Well it wasn't much at that point other than a completed shell and a lot of plumbing and wires.

Proud new owners! Let the glamping begin!  ;-)

My dang cup already cluttering the place up!!!  :-)

 

Lounging on the bed while Carie fiddles around putting the new silverware away that friends Tom & Ella got us!

 

Look at that ear-to-ear smile on a new Airstreamer and the worlds happiest camper!!!

 

At the factory a week or so earlier...
