Well, we talked about it and now we DID IT! We found an Airstream within an hour and a half of us for CHEAP! It's in pretty decent condition as well. No MAJOR problems, simple cosmetic and upgrades. Now we just have to sell these 2 Jeeps which we cleaned up and posted on craigslist this weekend. Got a couple lookers already. Then, we plan a trip to Atlanta to visit some friends and IKEA for upgrades.
Here's the game plan: We got the Airstream, so we fix it up as quickly as possible and try to save up some money to survive for a few months around Salt Lake City and then get jobs to save some more. We also need to find an inexpensive vehicle to pull it. During that time, we'll gather supplies and make plans for Montello and obviously do some work on the land while we're out there. The Airstream will be our home wherever we decide to land and we can drag it to Montello on weekends and what not. We also plan to do quite a bit of traveling once we get out West. We sorta understand how JT & Sandy felt when they won their 5th wheel on Ebay! :)
