Airstream Ranch Super idea for recycling old mobile trailers. Admittedly copied the Cadillac Ranch on Route 66, but in addition the Airstream Ranch is a showcase for a charity (autism). What more! Remember, right next to Bates RV, "Vintage Airstream Village. Five ancient caravans that make you travel in time."

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.
