2023 Flotilla

[SkunkedAgain]

Ya can take Jeff outta the country, but you cain't ever take the country offa Jeff.

Yup you two are very correct, it's the interstate pulling a boat trailer that raises my attention factor... When I'm in a little car it's a different animal, but when I'm pulling the boat I don't move or stop very fast if that's necessary.  I do agree the way down won't be bad, it's just the ride home that raises my eyebrow... Hopefully it won't be in too crowded of a timeframe so I can slip in and out without being a target of too many crazy drivers... Good notes too Pat on the area there, that helps me get an idea of where to try fishing that day... Maybe I'll have to team up with some of you guys for directions where to go and what to try... Thanks Jeff

You'll be fine Jeff.  It's a Saturday and NOT a holiday weekend, so traffic shouldn't be a big factor.  Just pull your boat at the speed that you are comfortable at!  If that's 55 mph, just stay in the right lane and let the speed demons zip by in the outside lanes.  It's a rare event where you would have to brake hard at something.  Just be aware of what's around you, stay in the appropriate lane for your speed, and your trip will be a breeze.

Hey thanks, I'll have to get a new set of tires on my boat trailer before then, just to make sure I don't have problems on the freeway... That would be a nightmare, but I'm glad it shouldn't be too bad of traffic... I'll just have to change my regular driving habits of being in the left lane to adjust for trailer speed... I guess my nervousness stems from the last flotilla down south when the roads were still under construction and I hit some bad back up about Ikea and didn't get out of it until Ogden, that was a long trip... Better luck this year I hope, at least the roads should be better... later Jeff
