I would just like to commend you on your bravery. Towing a trailer with a Beetle in the mountains takes some stones.

I needed to get to the Northeast for a summer job. One of my professors had a Beetle and a locked U-Haul that she wanted moved to Boston. Now that I look back I probably should have asked to see the contents of the trailer!8-))

It was a fun trip with only a minute or so of harrowing possible death-down-the-mountainside. I'd recommend it to anyone!
