First Tow with New Rig

Well, they called Saturday and my new Alpenlite 5'ver is finally in. Pick it up Wednesday in Tacoma. So, I get to tow my old fiver over Tiger Mtn (for you local folks) and then tow the new rig back. Will be interesting since I know what it was like to tow old rig with 98.5 2500 auto. Looking forward to this. Also looking forward to real trip since its been a while.
