It’s out!

The trailer is out of the storage yard and now parked in their parking lot, free of the deep snow and drifts.  As previously mentioned the storage yard was going to be closed next week so the trailer needed to be pulled out this week.  I decided to go out to the yard and evaluate the situation to determine if it was feasible to move the trailer.  Fortunately the service manager had got my message and done a little plowing around our trailer.  He thought I would be able to get it out with our truck.  The problem was I did not have the hitch installed in the truck bed as I have been moving stuff to the storage unit.  I figured if the trailer could be moved they could do it with their tractor.  He said he would give it a try.  He came back unsuccessful as the front jacks were frozen in ice and the tractor was not big enough or powerful enough to lift the trailer or move it.  He offered me a hammer to chip away at the ice, which I did and got the ice all away but not sure if the jacks were still frozen to the ground.  It was decided I would go get my hitch and come back and they would do some additional plowing to make it easier to maneuver the truck and trailer. 

An hour later I came back, hitch installed, and drove back to the trailer in 4 wheel drive, low.  The truck made it with no problem.  They had plowed a full circle so I could connect then take the trailer out around a small motorhome.  We connected up and then raised the jacks and were all excited when they cleared the ground with no problem.  They were not stuck!  After some tricky driving and tight turns the truck and trailer went out in the parking lot.  Here is our trailer, parked.

Here is where it will stay for the next couple of weeks.  It is not a good idea to bring it to the house as the streets are narrow with so much snow on the sides and there is no way the trailer could make the turn into the driveway as we have 6 foot piles of snow on either side of the driveway.  The plan is to load up the truck with all the stuff that needs to go into the trailer and then go to the storage yard.
