Intermission - Moving your Canoe

Getting your 18 foot canoe from home to the river without having to lift it higher than your waist.

That's a 2 inch square metal tube that fits into the pickup trailer hitch.
It takes less that five minutes  to attach.
The canoe rests on a soft-inflated tube for a cushioned ride

A sheet of 1/2 inch plywood lays on the
pickup bed and the 2" square metal tube for a floor.

It's a "long" haul, but it is secure, no "high lifting"
and so far I haven't been stopped by the highway
patrol for being "over length."
