Search for trailer like Dad had became a REALITY!

My wife of 37+ years and I have 2 grown children and 2 beautiful Grandson's.  When we got married in early 80's we started like most with a White Stag tent, I got a bonus by finding out our oldest was on his way so moved up to a Coleman Colombia PU trailer and 12 or so years ago got out of camping by selling our 34' Thor Pinnacle MH. In between were 2 TT's and 2 Lake Erie boats that our kids grew up in. Our kids were and still are #1 to us!!

Age helped us decide that fishing and boating fit our lifestyle better because of work and my love for Lake Erie since I was born. I retired and bought a new 19' walleye Boat with the biggest motor available and in 4 years have used the boat over 500 hours, I fish every day, wife weekends.

My Love for the outdoors came from my Parents purchase in 1971 of a Georgie Boy Travel Trailer, made in Edwardsburg Michigan. Dad bought his and as family, friends and co-workers saw it, seven others were sold by Dad! (Ours was #7 out of factory) There was only one model available and three(3) options: porta potty or flush toilet , silver or gold trim, and fridge or ice box, we had porta pot, Gold trim and ice box. All had tandem axles.

As years went by and owning all new RV's, I compared all to Dad's and wished daily I could go back and find one like his. SIMPLE comfort, Simple everything!  My Uncle kept his until after we were married and was kind enough to let us use it a couple times when we were in between RV's and the love kept growing. 

Through the years I had posted ads wanting to find the trailer my heart wanted but NEVER even received a call or e-mail. I don't do social media as we don't care to share our daily life. (I've seen more bad then good SO it's my opinion)

The week before Christmas in 2020 I received a message I didn't recognize in my e-mail and I replied. The LADY kindly said "I THINK I HAVE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR"!

After typing the fastest my middle typing finger could we were exchanging and she sent me pictures, I almost cried. Wife was asleep but not for long!

At this point I had no idea of her location or her intentions but decided it was getting late and would talk in morning by phone.

I had NO problem giving this LADY my number (even though I trust few )

After no sleep and sugar plums dancing in my head, the phone rang and it was her..YAY.

She explained all and her location was closer then I imagined so later that day we met....I CRIED pulling alongside of my dream. Stillhad no idea of intentions.

(Yes I had TT's, MH's and Boats that cost BIG $$ but this feeling was better then any of the prior)

She introduced herself and I let my Bride talk as I was feeling the sides of this 50yo trailer and imagining it in my yard.

We talked and after her telling us the history, we entered and I thought it had just come from the factory!  Besides DUST, there were the original cushions, curtains and some paperwork, adding to the history.

The curtains were intact but were desintigrating (SP?) but not a piece of mouse poop anywhere!!

The rest is HISTORY and I brought home our NEW too us 50yr old TT on 50year old tires.....ALL LIGHTS WORKING!!!!!!
