Thursday 16th May - Vintage Trailer Rally Pismo Beach


Wow!!!  If I have bored you previously with my rantings of scenery, bikes, cars etc. well, you ain’t experienced anything yet!
I’m at the vintage Trailer (caravan) Rally in Pismo Beach. Now, when I say vintage Trailer Rally I can hear some of you groan – and if I am honest if it wasn’t for Gary’s interest and involvement I probably wouldn’t have called in. But for a one off it has to be experienced.  First of all I didn’t think caravans were that old nor did I realise the range there was in the original designs. Today I they are a bit white box samey are they not with names way up on the inappropriate scale such as Buccaneer, Challenger, Conqueror, ok Xplorer I can go along with . Then there are the tow-cars also vintage or veteran in a lot of cases.

It is truly amazing and it doesn’t really start til tomorrow – my gob is well and truly smacked at the beautiful trailers and cars and at the lengths the owners go to to show them off and create atmospheres of time s past.













And, if you think it was all wall to wall trailers I just walked over the dunes at the edge of the site and....



I'm a lucky guy .......
