Really? Was that the problem? I kinda figured that out. And, believe it or not, Jeff is right. I forgot in all the excitment. It was "Look at me go...OH S#!T...there's a brake zone... WHEeeeee! Uh oh, I see headlights and stuff coming at me!" A rather humbling experience to say the least.

I will be coming back there and trying that again without the The rest of the weekend was great.

Hey, did you make it home without losing you car or trailer? We definately had our share of excitement that weekend.
