Field work

Well, work this year has been hard to come by and I'm just now going out on my first dig. To that end, we have picked up a new (to us) trailer. (Tents are fine for a week or two, but this is two months work) A 1991 Shasta 30 footer.

New to us-trailer

Unlike any other 5th wheel we have owned (this is # 3) this one has the bedroom in the back and the living room upstairs. Hence the front of the trailer is Tall. It didn't seem to be too much of an issue when I pulled it back from Goldendale WA where we purchased it, but in a stiff head wind it might be. In the process of cleaning it up, making some minor repairs, and getting it loaded today and leaving for central WY tomorrow.

Along with that, there is Very limited internet connection while on the job site so I will not be updating my blog or be on FB during most of my time there. I do have one place that is 6 miles from camp that has limited internet access but we don't know yet if it's even still in business. (It was the only business left in a small town that went in for mining and has a reputation of shutting down for months/ years at a time before someone else starts it up). If it is, I'll check in once a week or so, if not... and no phone service there either. :-(
