Trip to the Spring Fling, Day 0

Monday, May 11, 2026 - Still in Oswego

Less work on the trailer then in previous Springs, not because it didn't need it, but because the weather has been cold & wet. The cherry tree is still in bloom, as well as the crab apple tree and some of the blueberries. In past years I would have been already picking some blueberries, and there would be green cherries & crab apples, but not this year. An old cherry tree in the back yard blew over. The only problem with cutting it up is it is covered with 1" thick poison ivy vines. I need to get rid of them before I hit it with the chain saw.

I did get the trailer brakes & bearings serviced, flushed the water system, and washed & waxed it, but I'll have to wait until I get back from the Spring Fling trip before a couple of projects.

As of this evening I have the trailer mostly packed. Some stuff needs to wait since I'll be using it tonight & tomorrow morning, plus we may get a freeze tonight. It is predicted for most of the county, but since I'm within 500' of Lake Ontario I suspect we will stay above freezing.

For anyone keeping track, I started the trip with a total trailer mileage of 71,761.9, and 1,591 nights in the trailer. 

Until Next Time -
