I’m at Holly Point. Haven’t really tried to rig it. Got a family to get down for the night so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.
I would think a couple of us should easily be able to lift the empty trailer on and off your hitch? How about I come by in the morning with a few pieces of concrete and some moving lift straps, you flip the jack so it is pointing down, we put the "bricks" under the jack, and then lift the trailer off onto the bricks with the lift straps?

I'll send you a PM with my phone number.

Then on the way home I'd stop by Northern Tool and grab a new jack....

I plan on getting up there by 10, if not earlier. If anyone needs a hand with anything please let me know. I will check in the morning.

So my intent was to take our guests tubing for a while and drop them off around 4 and then come back to the group. We did all that but leaving the dock to come back to the group the other ecu decided to mess up... So we just put it on the trailer! For the short time we were there we enjoyed seeing everyone again and meeting so new people!

Where is all the pics at? Hated we had to miss but here are a few pics from our trip knocking out the GA section of the great loop trip. We started in Jacksonville FL area and ended in Hilton Head SC.
