gridloreWe got a lot done today. Picked up the Free Trailer Beowulf and took it to Kirsten's office. The main item on the agenda: pull the mattress out and clean the cover, then check for mold.
Because last fall we were both lazy and never got the tarp on the trailer before the rainy season started. We ended up with some mold, and mostly mudstains on the mattress cover. Luckily, the mattress itself was fine.
We also had access to our pallet of stuff and were able to add a few items and double-check the inventory sheet. There will be a more detailed inventory about a week before we leave, with packing lists for each box. I'd like to get down to three of the big Costco boxes for our packing, so we can use the fourth to hold our gas cans, as those need to be both contained and kept off the Playa.
Kirsten is looking into finding a place that can teach us how to back up with the trailer, as we both suck at it.
