Moving the Trailer

We have this 30 foot trailer which we use as a field office and kitchen.  Nick also sleeps in it - I prefer my tent (at least when the weather is not too cold).  It takes up a lot of space and in fact has been sitting in the road for the past two years.  I have wanted to move it for some time, primarily so that I could use the road more easily rather than having to squeeze around the trailer.  The problem was there was no better area large enough to put it in until recently.  We recently (see 25 June) dug out more flat ground and now have a place for it where it will be out of the way but still readily accessible.  In actuality, the new spot is only about 300 feet from the old spot.  Not a long move, but a useful one.

We hooked the trailer up to our F250 Super Duty for the initial move.

300 feet down the road is all the further we needed to go.   We wanted to pull it between the trees but we didn't quite have enough room to maneuver.

So we unhooked the truck...

... and finished the job with the tractor.

We were able to put it exactly where we wanted it.

The pickup truck is sitting where the trailer used to be.
The trailer can be seen in its new location down the road.
