So after giving it some thought, I’m revising the itinerary just a bit.  I’m now going to depart on Saturday the 6th and drive to Mammoth Cave National Park.  I’ll spend that Sunday night there and then head over to Great Smoky Mountains on Monday as planned.  This just breaks up the outbound leg of the trip a little better.  As you can see in the above picture, I’ve got my trailer assembled and hooked up.  It pulls quite nicely and more than doubles the cargo capacity of the Solstice and I don’t have to remove the passenger seat.  I’m still working out some glitches with the wiring (brakes and signals work, but the running lights don’t).  Should get that squared away tomorrow.
