INTERIOR TIME CAPSULE ...

Here it is. Untouched since 1984. I will tell the story as best I can guess from what we found.

Since no one had keys we had to pop door pins to gain entry. Carpet had been laid on top of two layers of flooring. The carpet hung out from underneath the door making a perfect wicking of water to the interior.

Best I could tell the previous owner closed it up at the end of winter in 1984. Experation dates on food items gave us this hint. Everything packed and stored for his return the next winter. Tires, ladder and even his work pants lay patiently waiting his owners return.

He was married and had at least one daughter. None of them came from Michigan for the winter as he only kept one lawn chair on hand at his hunt camp.

He was a simple man. A loner. Liked a little Crown on occasion and kept the property and Airstream neat, clean and tidy.

I think I would have enjoyed getting to know him. Hanging out getting details of his life. What was his story and why? I have questions.

D2 - 04/30/24 NORTH OF ATLANTA

Today’s travel day was pretty uneventful. I took the wheel the first half of the day. Had light traffic into Georgia and just a little rain....
