Hull #200 in service, pt2

So the end of the trail is in sight :)

 

It was supposed to be over today but...

 

The Mercedes has been telling me that I have an emissions problem, so we stopped in Sacramento for a couple of days to get it fixed and because, this is 15 miles from where we usually get service done and Mercedes of Sacramento is owned by the same family as the one that we usually go to in Rocklin, and we have friends at both. AND... there was a huge wreck on the freeway and we didn't feel like sitting in miles of stopped traffic on a Sunday when there was a nice Park close by with full hook ups. While they service our car, they give us a loaner, so we will see what kind of Mercedes we will be driving tomorrow for a day or 2 :)

 

We spent the night last night in the apartment complex where our son and his family live, so we had a chance to visit some of the family and snap a few pics with the grand kids :)

Going 6 high isn't recommended on these Camco blocks, but that's because they're used on real heavy trailers also. For a few thousand pounds on one side, I'd feel safe going 8 high if needed but the 6 high here is about the most I've ever used at one time.

 

We're almost home :)

Sorry about your unscheduled delays, but more time with grandkids is always good...

 

I think I see a challenge here. Just how many adorable, smiling kids  can you fit in an Ollie?

 

Happy and safe travels.

Tomorrow is the big day that we are going home with the new trailer for the first time. So today, being that we haven't started the generator the entire time, we gave the ice chest a new home instead. We spent a nice week here in Sacramento just enjoying the weather and catching up with our appointments that we had made before we left here in town. It snowed last night at our house and we missed one of the worst Winters on record by traveling to Hohenwald and picking up our New Lil' Nugget. We've almost reached the end of our first journey :)

The old Masterlock set works ok on the Bulldog but it's not perfect. I've had it for a few years and it served its purpose once again, but I'm thinking for the best security, I should just pull the 2 bolts and remove the whole hitch because it's just that simple to remove right now and I have a couple of locking hitch pins that can take their place if I make the holes a touch bigger. But for now, that's still in the thinking process.

You know, as many trips as we take, home always looks good as we approach.

 

Glad you had a great trip. Hope you have a happy holiday at home.
