We had a good time over the weekend with Kathy, Kelsey & Lydia being here. They went back to Missouri on Monday.
The weather has been great and the fall colors are magnificent. It did rain last night and misted some this morning but right now, lunchtime, the sun is brilliant.
I cut about 3 small trailer loads of wood from a dead tree that had fallen behind T&ML's campground. Note the trees next to the trailer, you will see them from the other side in a later photo.
I spent most of one day watching the crew move the double wide off Tom & Mary Lou's place.
This is the truck they used. Note that the hitch not only raises and lowers but it slides sideways. They needed all the flexibility to get the units out.
The photo below shows the double wide already split in half and "wrapped". The front (right) section had been moved forward using the platypus and the truck was hooked to the back half getting ready to back it out, over the septic tank.
The small tree you see in the photo below is one of the ones that was by the trailer in an earlier photo. They backed the unit up almost against the tree, unhooked the truck, backed the truck in from a different angle, pulled the unit ahead and then backed it another 20' or so past the tree.
Back half parked in driveway.
Front half being backed out using platypus.
Front half headed up the driveway, it is about at the campground in this photo. (The front half had to be delivered first. That was why they did the switching around.)
Looking back down the driveway, at the campground area. This looked to be the tightest area. They had to back up to back up and take a 2nd run at it to get the unit around this curve.
Finally, out on Allen Burgess Road.
The next day the took out the back half. This is it headed past our place.
In the photo below it is down the hill and rolling past Maimie's.
Only a little smoke left from my brush piles.
Time to get to work.
May God bless you and yours.
