SCHLEPP

Meet Schlepp!  He is our trailer buddy.  He too will come with us to Maine and haul all of our equipment and personal items.  We are amateurs so we didn't know if the trailer or panniers would be better.  Oh well, we have Schlepp now and we are going to let him see the country too.  Schlepp fits nicely in the back of the car when the seats are down.  He can hold up to 100lbs, but we are looking at only hauling 25lbs for 4 people with equipment.  Doesn't that sound like hiking all over again?  Tony and I have been taking turns working out with him.  It's tough, especially with all the hills.  Our best route is around the neighborhood 6 times.  Can someone say boring?  This is safe though and allows us to get comfortable with him.  We will take him out for longer rides later in the summer. 

Schlepp is not quite ready to go in this picture!
