RE: [DMCForum] Re: Making plans for PF (Tow Dolly)

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the main ride into PF is relatively mountain free and it's only
2-3 hours to PF from Greenville (I know it sounds absurd but it's true). If
I get into trouble, I can always pull over, back off the D and drive it
until the engine cools off. 

I wouldn't say mine's a baby truck, it's more of a toddler. It's the 4 liter
V6 from Mazda with the towing package and special towing radiator.

Harder than South Carolina -- you're going to be in the mountains.

Manually downshift if the transmission starts to hunt. If your cooler
is up front, don't run the A/C (heat from the condensor). That third
truck lane is there for a reason -- don't be afraid to use it.

Ken K hauls DeLo's with a baby truck, on a trailer no less, so it can
be done.

See you in June.
