@ Scott D. and Jake d'Ve: Consensus does seem to favor 40 psi. I'll start out at 45 and see how she bounces. Trailer has no suspension so whatever I carry in it has to be shaker-table proof. And I'm not talking a type of furniture.

@ Scott D.: I thought a back up light on this dinky little trailer would be a Good Thing for when backing into camping sites after dark.

I'll be heading up I-5 as speculated and hang a northeast at Weed to go up Hwy 97.

@ Roger W. & Tom the Beezer: Roger on the lubed bearings. Took 'em apart and greased them good. Visual inspection revealed no gross indication of wear. I don't think this little puppy has many miles on it. Good idea about bringing a spare set of bearings, too, but I won't have time to take things apart to try to determine what those bearings are (I've never ever needed to order bearings for anything before, even though I've lost my bearings on more than one occasion) much less get them ordered and in hand before I leave on the one-way trip up and out of the top of California this coming Sunday afternoon.

I'm excited about this move!
