From Texas to Missouri

We took two days to move the trailer to Missouri. Which originally seemed like a good idea. But then it turned into two of the longest days ever and we were wishing we'd just done it in one. We got off later on Wednesday than we'd wanted and didn't get to our stop for the night till about 7 pm. Thankfully we had very friendly neighbors who helped D back right in on the first try and helped D get unhitched while I threw some dinner together. It was a beautiful spot and we would have loved to stay longer. We got up Thursday morning and were within 5 minutes of pulling out, when the door to the trailer jammed. Leaving D and I outside and B inside (with the AC still on) This began the longest 90 minutes of B locked in the trailer while we waited for the locksmith to arrive. Evidently we had a bad lock and it malfunctioned by locking itself. Even the locksmith was unable to pick it. I finally told him to just drill the thing out. We've learned that should this happen again, we'll drill it out ourselves and just get another $30 lock. Lesson learned. All this cost us about 2 1/2 hrs, which meant we had to stop  at a reststop and wait for a major storm to pass. Which cost us another 45 min. Finally arrived to D's parents place and after 30 min and 3 tries, finally got the trailer up the drive with only a bent jack foot. It is now in it's spot for at least a month and we can recover from the 2 longest days ever. Enjoy the pictures!
Ready to go
Thankful this is the only "damage" from 1.5 hrs locked in the trailer.
