Sisters on the Fly
Howdy ladies! This post is for all those cowgirls, or wanna-be cowgirls out there…and the men who love them.
Sisters on the Fly is a group of nearly 1,000 women from around the U.S. who own and restore vintage camping trailers. They take their colorful homes on wheels on the Cowgirl Caravan to partake in outdoor adventures like fly fishing, horseback riding, rafting, or just eating fried food and watching fireflies.
Button Willow (Sister #595)
Each sister is designated by a number and by the name of her trailer. The Sisters also engage in vintage trailer sales, restoration, customization and registry. For a $40 annual fee any woman with a vintage or new trailer can join the cowgirl caravan.
The Sisters were started in 1999 by two real sisters, Becky and Maurrie. They wanted their female friends to experience their love of fly fishing and began to invite and teach other women about the outdoors. Their motto is “WE HAVE MORE FUN THAN ANYONE”.
Miss Rodeo (Sister #6)
Each of the Sister’s trailers are about 12 feet to 24 feet in length. The trailer makes vary: Holiday, Shasta, Aljoa, Scotsman, Aloha, Fireball and even an Airstream thrown in for good measure. Each trailer reflects its owner’s personality with its theme and sister number proudly posted on the rear of the trailer. They are decorated inside and out in usually a western kitschy theme. The Sister’s believe after a hard day of driving and having fun it is pure bliss to fall into your own feather bed at the close of the day, and awake to the smell of coffee and bacon right outside your door.

Hi Julia – I can’t take the credit for Christina’s writing. She did an excellent job and they sure are inspiring. Hope you guys are having a nice Memorial Day…Kent
I love these mini trailers! Someday I’d like one in my backyard as the “cottage” in my cottage garden!
Now I want to be a cowgirl.

We do have lots of fun and love our little trailers.

I have a tiny little 9′ Shasta named “Key-Lime Cowgirl” and I do believe ‘I have more fun than anyone!’

I just went on my first outing a week ago with a Texas bunch and what a fun time I had. In four weeks time…..I found out about SOTF, wrote an article about them, became a member and bought a trailer, and, I DID HAVE MORE FUN THAN ANYONE !!!
