At last!

The next weekend we drove back to the hunt club and I finally got to meet the owner of the AS. They had already started to clean it out and there several bags of trash outside the door. Oh by the way that was the first time I had seen the door open! Of course the first thing I did was get my tape measure out and start marking it off!
Twenty-two feet bumper to ball! Well that started to narrow it down a little. While I started helping them clean my wife finds the serial #. 7909. Not being an expert I start racking my brain trying to remember everything I had looked at on the websites. Lets see was that a globetrotter that was 22 ft or was it,gosh what was that other one called and what year did all those serial #s start with and end with Doggonit I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS !!!! The club president came over and we started working on the hitch, as we are spraying it down with WD40 he tells me he and his dad had talked and as near as they could figure, it hadn't been moved in 20 years! After 1 hour we finally got the hitch to function and we went back to helpig them get all of their stuff out. This process took 3 hours and two pickup loads of pots, pans and everything else they had collected inside for the last 20 years! Finally backed the truck up and got it hooked, started to move it and realized we had forgotten to air the tires up and wow they still held air. I put the truck in gear and yes it moved. With much help from everyone that was ther that day we inched between the now 20 year older oak trees! We moved it to a small field at the edge of the camp and that was far enough for the first day. After parking it I walked back down to where it had sat for so long and saw where the tires had been the holes in the sandy soil were about 6 inches deep and in the bottom of each was a layer of black rubber that had peeled off from them! THat was enough for that day and we headed back to Atlanta until the next weekend when I would check the bearings, change the tires and attempt to pull it home.Attached are the pictures of it sitting in the field after dragging out of its former home
