We have purchasing and picking up this 1975
Trade Wind from a couple in Wisconsin. They purchased this beautiful camper to
restore and use, and have now moved up to a Airstream Motor Coach.
Our task is to continue the enjoyment of owning/restoring this silver
palace!
Here are the photos that start the project, updates will be made as the project continues.

672 Miles out to Ohio - 935 Miles Home (through Canada)
With a stop at Niagara Falls (Canadian side) on the way out. Stayed over in Buffalo
Friday night.
Pick up date October 9-2004. Kent's pictures and description
did not do this justice! Very NICE!
Geneva By the Lake State Park (Ohio)
Out New Vintage Airstream parked @ Geneva by the Lake State Campground
After an extensive run through Kent said farewell to their
Project and left us to continue the care of this piece of history. We still are
amazed at how fortunate we were to find the couple that owned this Vintage Trade
Wind!
A quick tour of the country side, stopped at a few farm stands and stores to get
the things that would not fit in the truck. Lake Erie is HUGE, it looked and
sounded like the Ocean. We could hear the pounding of the surf from our campsite
at least 1/4 mile away.
Corbourg East Campground (Canada)
We arrived, unknown to us on Thanksgiving. The main office was closed? A
resident camper coming in stopped to let us know everyone was down at the pavilion,
"fillin their faces". On the way down we were stopped again to let
us know there was no outlet where we were heading. He advised us to just pick a
site, and go find Linda and Phil. So we did, We found the Pavilion, there must
have been one hundred people in having a pot luck supper. Outside we found
someone when we walked up to him he asked "Can you read that
sign?" So Susan did, "All you can eat Pot Luck
Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner" (it was in English) He snickered, so we told him we were looking
for Linda? Remember we had been on the road for 8 hours. Inside we all go, Linda
looks up says HI! I told her I had E-mailed we were coming, She said "Where are
your plates?" Huh? Our plates?
"Go get your plates and eating utensils come back and have Thanksgiving Supper with all
of us!"
We can settle the site info in the morning eh?
We can honestly tell you we could not have been more appreciative of the offer
of a hot Turkey Dinner
after the drive through the crazy Toronto traffic!
Apple Island Resort Campground
On the road for 7 more hours. Traffic was no problem, as we were advised the
evening at supper, DO NOT GO THROUGH Montreal! We came into the US @ Cornwall Canada.
At the border we were stopped for a Random Search, 25 minutes later all smiles
on the road again.
Once we got to Apple Island we were disappointed at the rates and the area we
were parked.
Although it was picturesque $35(Electric only) for a night in a rough, uneven
field seemed excessive.
This is a "DO NOT RETURN" park for us.
