#1: I could pay someone to pull it down there for me.
#2: I could rent a truck to pull it down there.
#3 I could sell the explorer and buy a cargo van that I can not only pull the trailer with, But also work out of.
Well # 3 is no good because I not only do not have enough time to sell my rig, Buy another one, And register and insure it. But also because I love my explorer and would hate to unload her.
#2 is no good either because it would cost me around $500 to rent the truck, Another $500 in gas to get there and back, Plus another $400 or so in gas to pull my explorer down there with my work trailer.
This is the cheapest method but driving down there, coming right back, And driving right back down does not sound fun at all!
Anyone who has made the drive down there straight through knows how bad it sucks, Let alone doing it three times in a row.
So #1 it is. I found someone to pull her down there with his Ford diesel dually.
The pic below is not his truck but its the same thing.
He is doing the job for me for $1800.00
Yeah I know......OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But on the other hand, I called quite a few places and they were all between $2000-$2900 so I guess it could be worse.
He is leaving on Thanksgiving night and I will be hanging out up here (New England) until he gets back
Then I AM OFF !!!!!!!!
As long as I get a wireless signal at rest stops and fuel stations, I will post any unusual or stupid things that I am sure will happen along the way down.

Well she left for the sunshine state today (thanksgiving day 07)at 4:00 pm.
She should be on site tomorrow around 5:00 pm.
I will be waiting for the phone call telling me she has been dropped off and all went well.
Well she landed in Florida yesterday afternoon around 5:00 pm (11/23/07)
Everything went well, And the guy that towed my camper said the lake and the campground look real nice.
I will find out in a week or so!!!!
