Love at First sight continued...

So anyway where was I?...oh yea,I was helping my friend Richard several months back move a couple rigs he had laying around his place, he wanted them moved to the upper bone yard , in the south 40. I spotted this trailer in the blackberry bushes so I asked Richard about it. He said he gave it to another guy, so i left it at that, it was a old canned ham, what i was looking for, but oh well.
   
I'm a Union Journeyman Electrician ,and things are still pretty slim here in Oregon. They say the recession over a year ago...Pfffssssttt!!!! We still are over 10% unemployment here.I'm thinking I gotta hit the road, and I don't really enjoy life out of a suitcase, so a RV makes a lot of sense.
  

   Fast forward to Aug. 2010,I asked Richard again about a RV, he has a couple class A's , a Winnebago and a 1979 Titan, we talked about the Titan, it's 23' self contained, I romanced it for a while, obsessed really..... it needs gutted, but being in construction for 25 years it didn't scare me.  A couple weeks went by,I asked him about the trailer again, and he told me that the guy he gave the trailer to passed away. Well I asked whats going to happen to the trailer, he said he'll ask the widow. A week later  he said she didn't know much about it, and if he had a use for it, he could have it back. I said  let's go check it out, and that's where we pick up the story....

Love at first sight??

Here's another shot of her as is, haven't got inside yet.I had been looking for a canned ham style trailer for awhile, and my friend Richard had this one sitting in a field.I had inquired a few months earlier about it, but he said that he had given it to a guy to use as a coffee trailer at rest stops on I-5 for the Elks, Eagles,Lion's, or some other critter, I can't remember which.  She's not quite as vintage as I was hoping, but a good one to get me started.The plot thickens, but I don't want to get long winded ,so I'll continue later

Let's get this Party started!!!

Well folks, I've rescued another "fixer upper", I'm just an old softy I guess, a humane society of rusty rigs. A friend of mine had this old canned ham style trailer parked up on the south 40 bone yard out on his farm. At first , we didn't even know what it was, it was covered with black berry bushes. I live in the Willamette Valley, which is the "Eden at the end of the Oregon Trail", and the only thing thicker than the blackberries is the rain, and let me tell you,we've had our fair share this year so the black berries were out of control . This poor thing was swallowed up, and we didn't bring lopper's . Stay tuned for the exciting rescue mission...
