Reminds me of the Trip to Portland for VTR 2000. I traveled all the way from
Tucson to Barstow, CA after meeting up with Michael Porter, before
realizing that I had not tightened the hitch onto the ball. After that trip I
converted it to a Clamp down type hitch so I could see immediately
whether it was locked.
Thankfully, I had sufficient tongue weight and didn't hit any hard bumps along
the way.
