I'm in Vancouver, Washington, now, and no problems so far. The Subaru pulls well although on some of the steeper grades I could not have done over 55 if I wanted to and trailer brakes would have been nice. I kept it to 50 in 4th gear on the downgrades to avoid the need to brake as it definitely took longer than without the trailer. California picked yesterday to do a crackdown on speeders on Interstate 5 so it was a good day not to go fast. Without the trailer I'd have been one of them. Today is just the "short" run up to Mukilteo and then the ferry. Bobbie
