Hello Everyone-

I just reviewed all the posts since I'll be loading it up tomorrow and hit the road probably around 4:00pm. Will probably only make it to Bozeman but would like to make Billings. Either way I'll have crossed the Continental Divide at Homestake Pass just East of Butte in the last of the light.

I changed my U-Haul truck from a 10' to a 14'. A much safer upgrade since I believe I would have been just 150lbs from the Max towing capacity of the 10', now I have a 10,000lbs towing capacity.

I got a good heavy duty pair of ratchet straps from NAPA for the back end, it comes with the fronts. I'll see how it goes and take all your tips into consideration with checks at each gas up as well as tire pressure checks. My Brother sent me a good aviation tire gauge (real nice) so it will be a pleasure checking them.

Again, you guys/gals are the greatest and I will check those tires & pressures first thing on pickup tomorrow. I'll be heading to Damascus MD, via Ely, MN for 3 days of fishing in the BWCA (staying at my Bro's place on Fall Lake (an entry lake to BWCA). Anticipate arrival into Damascus, MD Wednesday(late) on the 20th.
