From: Currently living in Oakdale, CA about 20 mi. NE of Modesto in the hot central valley.

Bikes: Surly LHTD with a YAK trailer. I may have to ditch the trailer and go to panniers but I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Do You Pull A Trailer?

For my first X-county tour starting next spring I'll be pulling a YAK-BOB trailer. Do those of you who pull a trailer find you tend to overload it? Right now I'm looking at tents and having a nice BIG tent with plenty of room for me and my trailer is a really tempting idea. However, that big tent will probably weight about 6+ pounds and I just may very well deeply regret every extra pound I have to haul up a long hill climb. You experienced trailer pullers please chime in here and help me stay on the straight and narrow! BTW, I'm 5'7", 180#s and 71 years on the planet.
