Vintage Rally = Instant Community

Just back from the Vintage Trailer Rally on Seneca Lake and a blast was had by all, even the four-legged attendees.  =)

Planet Earth



GearHead has managed to excite his owner beyond comprehension.  With a lot of help from friends, this ol' vintage trailer is back in the green, green grass of home.  Or rather, the driveway.  He's no longer hangin' mid-air like there's a flood comin'.   =)   Pictures require an explanation or two:

This is real heavy lifting -- not for sissies.
Stabilize the front
After hitching, the tongue was stable enough that the back end could be lowered to the ground.   (This was still an unpredictable project.)  I found myself holding this front passenger corner until I thought my arms would fall off, but I couldn't let go -- it was leaning hard against me.

Needs the logo and tinted windows.

Sharp !!
