I have some ideas regarding the trailer hauling duty.  I can bring it both ways 
this Saturday.  
We know we need to get more people on board with bringing the trailer to the 
launches.  I am wondering how many members have thought about helping out, but 
had concerns.
My old concerns:  Will my (wife’s) SUV be enough to pull the trailer?  Do I 
still get $20 for my trouble and gas?  How much pressure is it to locate, hook 
up, return the trailer?  Where can I mess up?  
OK, I still think about how I can mess up, but I’ve addressed my other worries. 
 What I am proposing/offering is a “mentoring program” for anyone (need at 
least a hand full of haulers) interested in hauling the trailer to our launch 
in the future.  They can meet me at the location, watch me navigate the 
storage, hook up, drive, park and return the trailer, then get in their car and 
drive home at the end of the day.  Seriously, if I can do it anyone can with a 
little direction and practice.  Also, remember that hauling the trailer in no 
way obligates you to unload or load the trailer!  That is not the hauler’s job. 
 The hauler is not even required to supervise anyone else.  They are only 
obligated to deliver and return the trailer.  So for anyone WONDERING if they 
might be in a position to haul the trailer but has some concerns, feel free to 
contact me and get a lesson by riding along with me this Saturday!

I will call the waiver in and be onsite Friday night so equipment trailer duty, 
we need a volunteer to haul the trailer so can someone please step up and give 
Richard a break since you guys skipped last month and Richard has been hauling 
it a lot. It is supposed to be 96 degrees so bring water and shade.
