The driving and tracking of the trailer was pretty much un eventful.  I do need to report a small problem that happens when you go over some sharp grade changes, like in and out of the rail yard.  The extendable post that hold the foot for the tongue hits the ground.  Apparently, even while trying to go slow, It hit the ground and damaged the leg.  It still retracts but is bent badly on the bottom.  The little foot extension will not fit on it any more.  I used a board to prevent damaging the parking lot.  I think that it needs to be cut off, making the leg a little shorter, which would be better anyway.  I think everything will be Ok but we may need to carry a board so it will lift off most hitches.  Sorry about this but hard to avoid under traffic.
 
Additionally, there are still things in the old trailer.  It needs to be cleared out so we can sell it.  WE need a hour of a few peoples time to finish that and make some minor adjustments tot he new trailer now that we have loaded it twice.

I should arrive with the trailer about 8 in the morning.  WE need to focus on set up and be running by 10.
 
The trailer works great.  Tracks well and brakes really work.
