Year 5 – Week 51 – Day 1

We had to move the trailer over on the driveway about 8 inches so that the slide-out would open while Gramma was here to stay. We took it around the block the long way and ended up in Parker, AZ! Just in time for the Bluewater Desert Challenge off road racing!

In the end, the trailer is now far enough from the wall that we can open the slide. Now we just have to wash it inside and out! It got a little dusty.
