Load the wagon

It looks like it is time to load up and get going.  $1,200 worth of new ten ply tires are on the truck.  Yesterday The Commander and Lord Kadizzle hoisted the fifth wheel hitch into the Toyota and bolted it down.  The name of the game is to keep the weight down, so today Kadizzle may rig up a small plywood tailgate to replace the real one.  Every once counts.  Even though we use computerized list things are still forgotten.  A lot of items create a problem.  Should we carry a hydraulic jack?  Should we take an extra deep cycle battery?  So many times you realize you have been lugging stuff around for years you never use, but then you think what if?  The what if's are endless.

After the rotten scoundrel stole our generator last year we have instigated new security measures.  Buying a game camera was one thing strongly considered and still may happen.  It would be nice to capture the sneak thief on the camera.  If God is willing and the creeks don't rise the intrepid travels will head south on Thursday.
