The first 75 miles

For Father's Day we took a short trip out to Chandler, OK to see Sharla's parents and took the trailer along to stretch its legs. We thought it was appropriate to take the scenic route and drove back and forth along Histroric Route 66. The trailer handled beautifully, some interesting observations.

• It is narrow, being only 4 feet wide I was surprised how it tucked behind the Explorer so well.
• It certainly turns heads and it is so fun to watch people chat to their car mates about our pride and joy.
• It tracked very well, there was no swaying or oscillating.
• Everything stayed put as it was supposed to.
• The trip was too short to get a bead on fuel economy, but we are going to take it to St. Louis next weekend when we go to pick up AJ and his cousins.

Here is a picture of the trailer out in the open getting its first breath of fresh air. Along Route 66 is a new landmark a travel spot called Pop's they have hundreds of kinds of soda pop in their iconic bottles. The landmark features a giant pop bottle that is quite colorful at night.
