Detroit Lake, Detroit Oregon

Camping at Detroit Lake Vintage Style

Both Justin and myself grew up camping.  Camping was where we made our very best memories and what we hope Sullivan will remember as he gets older.  There is nothing like it when it comes to connecting with nature and each other.  Detroit Lake offers this experience, and some cool history to boot!  

The old town of Detroit received the "Stamp of Death" when congress authorized the building the Detroit Dam...

Getting Away as a Family

How I Was Seduced By Vintage Trailers

I Certainly Was Not Expecting It

How I Was Seduced By Vintage Trailers

My love affair with Vintage Travel Trailers began in the late 90’s when my husband Justin, always on the hunt for a fun project, found a 1958 Shasta Airflyte in the local Classified Ads. Although, we shared a passion for vintage design and had an extensive collection of old cars, motorcycles, clothes, film equipment and furniture for our mid century homes, I associated vintage travel trailers with mildew and paneling. Justin on the other hand came from a family with a history of Travel Trailering that dated back to the 1940‘s. His father worked as an aircraft sheet metal mechanic, and Justin was very drawn to the aluminum construction and the fact that many vintage trailers were built in aircraft plants. I reluctantly agreed to take a look at it. Had I given it more thought, I would’ve known that I was going to fall in love. Just like old old homes, cars, furniture, clothing… artistry, quality and craftsmanship were evident. And useless, but brilliant design details, such as exterior aluminum wings, made the purchase a no brainer. We soon found out however, that the very best thing about our first trailer was all the amazing memories we created traveling with it for 5 years....
