Today I packed up the rig for travel -- why so early for our trip to leave March 12? Well, we failed to get the notice that our rig was needing it's registration tag, back in January. We realized it in February, when we went to the Sweetheart Rally.
So, to make sure we were legal, we had to get the trailer inspected first. So after school was out, we hitched up and headed the 5 miles into Cisco to get the inspection done. It took longer to get it paid for than the inspection took!
We parked on a side street from Precision Tire & Auto, and they walked over to us to do the inspection. However, once done, we had to go a few blocks into the city streets to figure out how to turn around. It was quite challenging as most of the roads are gravel, with no curb -- only a gully for drainage on either side of the road. We had to be careful of low-hanging trees, and making the turns without our 41.5' trailer going off the road. I jumped out at the intersections and one time to check tree limbs, so that we would not have any surprises.
We made it back to the main drag and got her home again, passing the inspection with no issues. Hopefully, this will make it easier to be ready to go when we leave this weekend!
(The next day, I went to the courthouse to get our registration tag, so we were good to go!)
