Best thing to do is find someone with a trailer that lives close to you. I
have a trailer which I use once or twice a year. I only got it because I
was transporting a bunch of stuff from Florida to Colorado, and it was
cheaper to buy a trailer than to rent one (or have the stuff shipped).
Anyone from Colorado Springs/Southern Colorado need to borrow a trailer?<g>
