Starting off a short trip spanning my Thanksgiving break to haul some things down to my mother in Mississippi, visit family, and then explore new states on the way back. As is very common with any furniture or residence moves for my mom, the weather chooses to make things a bit interesting.
Exhibit A: a fun storm of snow and freezing rain during the very hours I am first hooking up and loading the U-Haul trailer. Hooray…
Later on in the day everything melted and snow turned to rain which was better than snow but still not my favorite conditions for this type of task. These 6×12 dual axle trailers are pretty heavy even when unloaded which is actually not bad for me as it makes the Tacoma ride like an old cushy Cadillac just floating down the highway. Aftermarket leaf springs I installed with the lift have it riding nice and high so my headlights aren’t blinding anyone. Basically zero droop with the trailer hooked up at this weight.
Trailer is only loaded about one third full. I’m stopping briefly in Kentucky to sleep, then on to Knoxville, Tennessee to get some more things before heading through Alabama then on to Mississippi.
If you think this post isn’t super exciting you are correct – my main purpose is to drop a marker on my interactive geomap which you can find here and see all the places I’ve been.
