Trailer? Trailer?! I just contacted an archaeologist friend of mine, an expert on Pompeii, but also familiar with the pre-colonial history of Maine. I showed him this picture and he informed me it would be professionally negligent to try to identify these ruins. He said they could be the foundation of an ancient shed, or perhaps pieces of a boat left over from when the area was underwater, thousands of years ago.

When I asked if it could be a trailer, he said “I don’t think the Penobscot Indians had trailers.”

This post is pending for pickup.

Just checked. It’s still “pending for pickup.” I have a feeling that will be “pending” for a while. Have I ever told you that I am an NFL quarterback? Well, you know, pending draft, contract, and learning how to throw a ball.

1980 Love Mate Travel Trailer

That sounds like something pleasant. Fun, even. “Love Mate.” I think they may have mislabeled this particular unit. “Partner in Despair” sounds more accurate.

1 bedroom, 1 bath, aluminum siding, dual axles, missing one wheel, gas furnace, has tipout in frontroom lived in til last year.

Picture the person able/willing to live in this – presuming this looked more or less the same last year as it does today. I ask a simple question – do you want to meet this person in an isolated field?

I have owned the trailer for 20yrs. Bought from my sister’s father in law. He has since died a couple of years ago and title can’t be found.

That is a very interesting story. I’m not sure why you told it, but I suppose the fact that you have family members does make you – a person willing to live in this trailer – seem a little less frightening.

IT IS MISSING A WHEEL.

Thanks again, got it.

In my opinion it is not in condition to be lived in. It has been sitting a year with no heat. Roof in frontroom partial crushed from snow this winter.

And this coming from someone who lived in it until very recently. Even by his standards, this thing is a disaster. Or is it . . . ?

The county kicked me out because(someone called them) you cannot legally live in recreational vehicle.

That tells us a bit more about him, doesn’t it? This is not in livable condition, but he would have remained in it, had it not been for some goddamned snitch. I’m beginning to get a distinct Ted Kaczynski vibe from our donor. I no longer want only to avoid him, I want to avoid entering the trailer. I suspect it contains booby traps he’s long since forgotten. “Oh yeah, don’t open tha . . . *kablamo*!!1!”

It appears to be safe enough to tow but I’m no expert, just a computer technician.

“Computer technician?” Let me guess. This is the last computer you were well-versed in. Or was it this:

Do they make computers out of rust and misery? Those seem like the things you might have technical skills in.

If you still interested, send email Wil

I think I’m very interested. But more in hearing the hair-raising tales Wil could tell than in the trailer.
