Nice old trailer, complete with A/C unit. Wht do you think, 500 sq ft ?
I am surprised that rusty old padlock is intact. I wouldn't want to break it, but I would love to see the inside layout, upholstery (imagine what it used to look like!), galley equipment, sleeping accomodations, lights and power setup. It would ba a fascinating glimpse into the past. My guess is that it's 70+/- years old.

I would have loved to have seen inside but I didn't want to mess around there too much. I might check it out a little closer if I go back that way. At least see if I can get a quick shot through a window or something. If i'm feeling dangerous lol

can you imagine the stories that trailer would tell if it could talk? when i see stuff like this my imagination goes wild for a second thinking about the lives that were led there. everyone has their own story. would love to know what so many places could say if they could talk.

By the way... that wouldn't happen to be poison ivy on the lower right part of the photo, would it!? Maybe not, but I am extra cautious about that stuff...
I've snagged poisong ivy in the Columbia river gorge on the Oregon side, in the redwood forest (taking a pee-a veritable nightmare I can attest to), Northern border of Ohio on a beach of lake Erie, and in my own back yard right here at home (weeds creeping in from neighbor's tree into the garden!). I have become seriously vigilant watching for it It is usually the legs or forearms that get into it.

you know..people can talk crap on Chinabikes but the truth is, if not for them, i wouldn't be out exploring covered bridges? or anything like that. Its an inexpensive way to get into it and learn. its so much freakin fun for such a small investment..even with the wrenching and bullshit. its worth it. at least to me.

I took the hawk out to the store and back. Went out to the garage to get something out of the saddlebags later and there was a puddle of gas under it. Got out my flash light and tracked it down to the fuel line where it connects to the carb. The fuel line was resting on the frame and had rubbed a hole in it. Loosened up the carb, snipped off the end of the fuel line, attached it back, repositioned the carb, and good to go.
Not to bad of a fix for my first real issue with the hawk after owning it just over a year.
