With the closing of escrow looming on the horizon, the deadline to move the trailer is getting close. We headed out to the desert to prepare the trailer for towing. Our friend who gave us the trailer assured us that it was mostly empty of old belongings which, as it turned out was far from the truth, in fact we managed to fill TEN full size trash bags and a truck bed full of various junk. The desert critters had done a number (one and two) inside most of the cabinets and just clearing items from them turned out to be a challenge for Patti's constitution! I had removed the wheels from the trailer the week before as both tires and the spare were flat and different sizes. I bought a used set of tires and mounted them just for the purpose of moving the trailer to and from storage. We put the wheels on and took it off most of its blocks. We discovered that the mechanism that cranks the Tongue Jack up and down was not working. We removed that and will see if it can be fixed or replaced. Calling it a day, we watched the sun go down over Joshua Tree National Monument and got a Starbucks for the long ride home.
