Getting ready to head south

We bought a new 4' by 8' utility trailer from Harbor Freight.  Steven built the sides for it so we could load things on it to travel south.

These are tongue-in-groove boards.  He made the sides 30" tall.  Deep enough to store a lot of stuff, but easy enough to reach over.

Another view.  I think they look really nice.  Nicer than plywood!

I started loading the car Sunday evening Nov. 23.  When I put the dog carrier in, Odie got all excited.  When I spread her blanket in it, she nosed under my arm and jumped in, and she didn't want to get out.  There's no way she was going to get left behind!  :)
 
Scott was building a 'nest' out of fleece blankets and coats in the other half of the back of the car!  I loaded the backseat and left the 'trunk' area until morning.

Monday morning Steven finished the sides of the trailer and I loaded it.  That's the pieces of a lawn swing on top of the boxes.  Down in there is a new stove/oven for the motorhome, a red wagon for Scott (new in it's box), boxes of home-canned food, a chain saw, a 50-lb bag of dog food, and a bunch of other odds and ends.

A view from the other side, before we tarped it.
