That is for sure the way I remember them, When in the Colorado Army National Guard on our way to Summer Camp we would fill the trailer with ice and about 20 cases of Coors for the trip up to Guernsey Wy., aah ,the good old :D days.

Seems like good use of a fairly useless trailer. I can say this now because I sold mine. It was like a ship's anchor in my garage. That said I would have kept it if I had the room. Room, room, room. Who ever said "Location, Location, Location"... what a fool.

Mine is under my storage shed canopy, (per city ordinance). It is not allowed to be in my driveway or front yard.

It will be employed per the above pic for our annual Independence Day Party though. :mrgreen:

Looks like it would be fun to "wrestle" the guard who was put in charge of securing the contents of the trailer. Heck, it looks like it would be fun to "wrestle" the guard after gaining access to the contents of the trailer.
