Airstream Ranch. Dover, Florida - Airstream Ranch

As a driver for a packaging goods vendor, I often drive by the Airstream Ranch. I always find myself looking forward to seeing the site. I'm not sure why, but the Airstream Ranch has some kind of attractiveness to it.

I hope that whatever legal issues this Airstream Ranch has caused have been resolved positively, so that the site can remain. [steven, 09/11/2009]

The Airstream Ranch is very much alive. I took several HDR shots of the RVs, but could not get far enough back to capture all of them at once (I would have had to stand in the middle of Highway 4!). I needed a much higher wide angle lens, like the kind Ahren Davis used. [Peter Bates, 07/11/2009]

Despite all the legal woes, the Airstream Ranch was still standing proud and tall when I drove past it in October 2008. We have never visited it in person but our family drives past it often on I-4 and we always eagerly watch for it. We hope it stays standing for a long time. [Holly, 11/01/2008]
