Dover, Florida: Airstream Ranch (Gone)

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.

An HDRI picture of this attraction that I shot.

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.

Just west of exit 10 on I-4 is a strange grouping of vacation trailers that look to be growing out of the ground. I believe it is only visible from the interstate, though.

On January 4, Frank Bates created what he says is a tribute to roadside architecture, and what his critics claim is his most audacious advertising stunt yet. Frank buried eight Airstream travel trailers nose-down, in a strip of land along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 4 in Dover, Florida....
