Birds & Bovines III - Vintage Camping Trailer Rally

It was our third year and once again we had great weather. Well, there was that bit of rain early on Sunday morning but that didn't dampen spirits of 50+ campers. For the third year we gathered at Ledge Park overlooking the beautiful Horicon Marsh. We had a total of 26 rigs this year - some a little more vintage than others. 

I didn't get a picture of every trailer at the rally. Apologies to those of you that I missed. There's always next year! In the meantime, here's a few to enjoy . . .

A "new" Yellowstone for Dave and Monica. 

Very cool in the inside, too.

Don and Linda's Airstream is a 2000 - one they found close to home.

Last year I missed a picture of Dave and Joan's Avion.

The cow on the front was a nice homage to the trailer rally name.

BJ has the best lights decorating her Trotwood.

Larry and Marsha have recently discovered vintage trailers. Love the decor of
Little Chum.

Cindy and Ken shared their site with. . .

Tim and Molly. (Apologies if I messed up
who's who!)

Steve and Tammy came from Iowa with their little Serro Scotty.

This Trotwood has been in Clyde's family since 1958 - only one owner all these years!

Don has a pretty pair with his Shasta and Ford station wagon.
Probably turns a lot of heads going down the road.

How many of us women can relate to the sign on Zoe's trailer?

Vito is the latest in Norm and Julia's gnome "family." A pretty good guard for Ginger.

The newest of the trailers - Lynn and Derek's. He's done a nice job building
cabinets on the inside. And he's still customizing their "haven" to fit the
needs of the family.

Speaking of customizing - Jerome has made
this Spartan his own.

He built this Studebaker to pull the
Spartan.

The newest addition to George and JoEllen's trailer decorations.

Patron bird of vintage campers - Kaye's find.

Rick sold his Argosy Minuet (the trailer we had last year for the rally) to Kaye and Jim. We say "good-bye" but will see this little guy at future rallies.

Next it will be Birds & Bovines IV, June 9-12, 2016. Still a few spots open for folks who enjoy this era of trailers and LOTS of good food!

Vintage Camping Trailer Open House - You're Invited

The third vintage camping trailer rally that Rick and I are hosting is happening this weekend. This year we have 27 rigs - mostly vintage - that are coming from Wisconsin and northern Illinois. We are excited that the number has nearly doubled from last year. Because many of you who read my blog may be interested in vintage trailers, we'd like to extend the following invitation to you: 

All of us would love to show  you what we've done with our vintage trailers. Spread the word. Invite your friends and anyone who is interested in this little slice of the past!
