All of our family, friends and co-workers (and us, a wee bit) have been very surprised and encouraged that Silvia has been continually booked through all of January and now February, usually our most wintery month and typically not at all conducive to camping of any kind. But last weekend our guests weren’t due toContinue reading “Bring it, February”

I resolved this year that I would be a much better ambassador for Silvia, and this blog is a good way to do that. Gayle and I both really enjoyed working on one project or another in Silvia for most of 2020, and after finishing our work, enjoying evenings on her deck. Now, most ofContinue reading “Here’s to 2021”

Everywhere else feels like it’s snowy, slushy and bone-chilling cold. It’s January. But it’s not really January in Silvia’s corner of the world. Traveler’s Rest is an oasis from the winter blues.

The location is perfect for anyone who wants to take a hiking trip around South Carolina’s Upstate or visit downtown Greenville.  Travelers RestContinue reading “A weekend hiking trip with friends”

The Airstream is an icon of American history. Its futuristic exterior inspired generations of travelers to traverse the country inside their Airstreams, and even as trends changed, Americans still associate Silvia and all her cousins with the freedom of travel and discovering new places. Here’s a peek at Airstreams of times past. We hope theyContinue reading “Silvia’s past lives”

If you’ve stepped into Silvia’s world, you may wonder how she came to be. We believe Providence was the biggest part of our good fortune in finding our ’72 Airstream Ambassador, because she was only the third one we looked at and we found her in only one weekend!  The two Airstreams we looked atContinue reading “Creating Silvia”
