So much color even on the inside of Beverly Howell’s home away from home.

It’s a bit of a misnomer since the Sisters on the Fly don’t actually fly anywhere. They caravan. And one local lady is lucky enough to be a part of it, proudly touting herself as “Sister 1855.”
Beverly Howell of Mammoth participates in the Sisters on the Fly Program.
The Sisters on the Fly consist of over 6,000 members in the United States. They plan events from camping to domestic and international travel, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, wine tasting, dancing and whatever else sounds fun!
The caravan recently took a Route 66 tour some of the members started in Illinois and the tour will end in Ventura, California. They plan their trips and stay overnight at many locations. During the Route 66 tour they stayed overnight in Winslow, Arizona, there were a total of 123 camper trailers with a police escort into Winslow. While they were there, they ate at local restaurants, bought gifts from local stores, went dancing and just had a great time.
“We dress up in bright colored tutus, boots, fun outfits to go out on the town in,” Beverly said. “The Mayor of Winslow greeted the Sisters on the Fly and thanked us for planning a trip through Winslow as it boosts the economy and is fun for everyone.”
Beverly joined Sisters on the Fly because of the similar interests the ladies in the group have with her interests. There are no men, no animals, no kids and the rule is to be nice. If you are unable to do the full trip you can just pop in at any location along the way. The women share stories and enjoy their adventure at each stop. Many of the women have small travel trailers that are comfortable, colorful and a representation of what they enjoy. Sisters on the Fly is the largest outdoor women’s adventure group and certainly worth checking into.
The membership fee is $60 a year and they do not discriminate against race, religion, sexual preference, etc. But you do have to be a woman. If you are looking for a group of women to participate and travel with to fun destinations, please feel free to visit their website www.sistersonthefly.com and check out some of the adventures they have experienced to date.
