My younger brother had just arrived, and was too young to join us. Many of the photos I found were from that Arizona trip, and I donвЂ™t recall ever seeing them.ДЄfter they returned, I was often invited to join them on local trips to campsites in and around the Ann Arbor area. The next day they were off to Sedona, Arizona to visit longtime friends and to shake out the new silver bullet. It was a beautiful sight and they were thrilled. They arrived at our house for a visit after buying it, and I remember it parked next to our home while they stayed. Both had a wonderful sense of humor, and were great company.Д¬onfirming my genetic pre-disposition to grab hold of an opportunity when it arises, regardless of the risk, they decided to purchase an Airstream several years before either of them had retired. My Grandmother, Marjorie Doll, was a nurse at the local hospital and likely more pragmatic than my Grandfather. He was well-regarded and quite capable of his duties, although he didnвЂ™t particularly enjoy dropping in on the Ann Arbor Art Festivals to remind the dealers how important it was to properly fill out their sales tax forms for anything sold that day. My Grandfather, Maurice Doll, was the head Accounting Administrator for the City of Saline. They loved their Airstream and had long dreamed of owning one when they retired. Among them were pictures taken during a very special trip they took to Sedona, Arizona in their brand-new Airstream trailer. Photos from my grandparents, my fatherвЂ™s parents, who lived in the small town of Saline, Michigan near Ann Arbor.

During the visit I found old photos that IвЂ™ve not seen in decades. Last summer my family and I visited my father at home in Michigan.

This time, however, it was a bit different. I take in hobbies the way some people take in every lost stray that passes their door. Often to the point of ignoring more important matters, like life. SheвЂ™s long since accepted the fact that I stumble into obsessive spirals overВ new-foundВ interests, hobbies, and other distractions. That IвЂ™m on this quest at all is as surprising to my wife as it is to me. In particular, an early 1970вЂ™s single-axle Airstream. This is the story of how I found myself on a mission to find a vintage Airstream trailer.
