I got a tip from my new neighbors who have 2 vintage trailers of their own. They educated me on how to search other states listings on Craigslist. Of course I wasted no time checking local states like Oregon, Idaho & California. I found the Little Dipper on a Portland Oregon posting. She was rough but I saw the potential. Armed with a little knowledge and accompanied by my friend I set off from the Seattle area to get her. I did poke around and looked under the chassis for damage. Looking back though I don’t recommend anyone haul a trailer that distance without a little more planning and preparation!

Gladly we made it safely home. That was May 25, 2019.

So begins our journey.
