Hello! Hello! It is actually me!!! I thought it was about time to get with the program. I think Randy and I have had a 1955 Terry trailer for at least 30 years. It has been hanging around for so long that we figured maybe we'd never do anything with it. Well, we finally got the bug and decided to restore it. It has been slow, and is far from being done, but we are bound and determined to do it. We set last Friday night as the "launch" date. It isn't
aesthetically fixed, but all the systems work. The 'beautifying" will come quite a bit later. You will see that the outside really needs a painting, but, oh well for now. We can only do what we can do. At times when we have had to take it to someone for a little "tweaking", we have had compliments on the condition of the wood inside, and also offers from people to buy it! That part is kind of fun.
Anyway, this may not mean much to you, but it is quite nostalgic to us. Our truck can't pull it yet, so thanks to Wendy's husband, Brian, we were able to use his pick-up with the hitch on it.We pulled it up to "Swinging Bridge Park" , which is 15 miles north of Banks. We didn't want to go too far in case somebody had to come and get "those old people in that old trailer".!!! Well, here we go
We're ready to go!
Gotta gas up!

The first thing Megan talked about when she got up this morning was going camping with you guys. She can't wait to go sometime with you.
Glad you had a good time.

you guys look so happy. I am so jealous. Can't wait to go camping with you guys with it. I'm very impressed at how fast you guys got it on the road and very appreciative to Brian for letting you use his truck.
That is GREAT! I love it! It makes me never want to get rid of things... I will just think of this next time I want to and say NO NO NO, I may restore it in 30 years and have some fun!
