Tin can tourism 

On Saturday afternoon we went a few miles out of town to the KOA campground, which was hosting its annual vintage trailer rally.even though the temperature was not much above 60, the rain held off, and the snack bar served a good sandwich. We had fun last year, and thought it would be worth it to see if it is still fun.

Again this year, 20 or 30 trailers from the ’50s to the ’80s, most available to go inside and look around. All the owners more than willing to talk about every detail of the trailer, the restoration process, and all the fun they have had.

And again this year, I didn’t really get the pictures I wanted to get. My interior shots don’t capture the cleverness of the spaces. The exteriors were often hidden underneath the colorful canvas awnings that define your “front room” in the campground. But, the quality of the photography notwithstanding, I think these little trailers are really charming.

All in all, a fun way to spend a couple of hours…
