I
met Stan and Lorenda Spain
whilst camping at the Enchanted
Trails RV Park in Albuquerque,
New Mexico for the Albuquerque
International Balloon Fiesta in
October. Hailing from Dumas, Texas, north
of Amarillo, they had also come to check
out the hot air balloons. I took a photo of
their shiny, ruby red Airstream because I
had never seen one in that color before
and I thought it looked really cool. I
was delighted to be able to then meet
its owners to find out more about their
trailer. After kindly offering their number
should I ever need any assistance out on
the road in the Amarillo area, Lorenda
then filled me in on their trailer’s history.
The “Jellybean” a 1972 twenty-two feet
Airstream Argosy that had belonged to
Lorenda’s grandparents who had loved
her, but the last time the trailer had been
used was back in 1995.
