Junk to Treasure

 One day while camping Zac went on a motorcycle ride.  He came back to camp and told me he found a trailer.  He wanted to go back and get the trailer.  I agreed to go just check it out.  After we got up on the mountain Zac kept telling me how much money he could make if he could haul this trailer out of the mountain.  The trailer was probably about 50 feet off a cliff on the side of the road.  He hooked both of his tow straps together and it was just barely long enough.  When we started to pull it up the hill I asked him what he was going to do when it got to the top because the road was downhill.  All I could picture was this trailer chasing us down the road.  Zac just said, I will just stop on the top of the cliff.   Luckily his plan worked out.  We were able to get it hooked up and drag it back to camp.  The sides were BARELY hanging on.  It was funny to watch the people look at us as we drove back to camp.   



 When we got back to camp, Zac hooked a tow strap around the trailer and then to a tree and he exploded the trailer.  It was awesome

I had a job interview right in the middle of our trip that I had to drive back to McKay-Dee Hospital.  We were able to load up this trailer project and bring it back down when I came down for my interview.  We drove five hours one day, woke up and had my interview and drove five hours back up to camp.  It was a long trip but we survived.  Beck and Bo came down with us and they were AMAZING!!  They were SO GOOD the whole time!!  I was so proud of them. 



Zac worked hard after we got home and made this trailer out of the whole thing.  He was able to turn around and sell it for $700.00.  He is AMAZING!!
