@ Scott D. and Jake d'Ve: Consensus does seem to favor 40 psi. I'll start
out at 45 and see how she bounces. Trailer has no suspension so whatever I
carry in it has to be shaker-table proof. And I'm not talking a type of
furniture.

@ Scott D.: I thought a back up light on this dinky little trailer would
be a Good Thing for when backing into camping sites after dark.

I'll be heading up I-5 as speculated and hang a northeast at Weed to go up
Hwy 97.

@ Roger W. & Tom the Beezer: Roger on the lubed bearings. Took 'em apart
and greased them good. Visual inspection revealed no gross indication of
wear. I don't think this little puppy has many miles on it. Good idea
about bringing a spare set of bearings, too, but I won't have time to take
things apart to try to determine what those bearings are (I've never ever
needed to order bearings for anything before, even though I've lost my
bearings on more than one occasion) much less get them ordered and in hand
before I leave on the one-way trip up and out of the top of California
this coming Sunday afternoon.

I'm excited about this move!
