TEXAS LIVING!

Happy 4th of July y’all! Hope you have/had an awesome day! I lost a good friend last night. No, not a person - my trusty utility trailer. It was a custom Brawley trailer, manufactured in 1989 in Brush Prairie, WA. I bought the trailer brand new and had it painted, and added custom wheels to match our Chevy Blazer. It made a nice looking combo going down the road. I pulled it behind two Blazers’ and two Tahoe’s. When we lived in Battle Ground, I used it for hauling my John Deere tractor, bark dust & rock, camping in the beautiful San Juan Islands, and loaned it out for hunting trips to friends and family over the years. And of course the biggest trip with the trailer was our move to N. Texas from SW Washington State in late 2005. I haven’t really used it much since moving here, so I decided to post it for sale on Craig’s List. Sold it within 24 hours to the 1st guy who looked at it. GAWD, I love Craig’s List! I even made money on it after 19 years. I’m gonna miss that damn trailer!

I just didn't need it anymore Cameo! Besides, I may want to park something else in that spot out back! And yes, there were keys involved!
