We cleared out a lot of excess junk in the car and  trailer, organized a few things, and re-packed all the toys, including the new Birdy bikes.  (They fit very well in the Armada&#8217;s storage area with tons of room to spare.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Salem Robert bike.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Salem%20Robert%20bike.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"376\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Robert blows bubbles for Emma, from his bike<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many people have departed the rally grounds already.  This left plenty of empty sites near us, so Robert towed his Airstream &#8220;Pearl&#8221; over, Adam drove the C-Stream over, and Carol B showed up in her new 2007 Airstream Classic Limited 27FB, too.   Rich C was already here.
