First class gets the manicured loop, the matching chairs, and the
aluminum that photographs like jewelry. Steerage Life gets the
dumpster, the weeds, and a view of all that shine from forty feet
of gravel. Same rally. Different zip code. Drag the slider.
Steerage Life, in the wild. 2026 Airstream International Rally,
Minot, North Dakota. Chain-link, gravel, and the dump. First class
is somewhere past the fence.
Row BFirst class
Left: the silver comma. Right: the dumpster. Same gathering.
Official campground zoning. The huddle is first class. The dumpster
is ours.
Assigned parking. Inside the loop: rivets. Outside the loop: trash
day. Home is where we steer.
Official campground art. They still take this photo when they think
we cannot hear the zoom lens.
