Agreed. Mileage is a factor though. How far is the pin from you? Pay
somebody a few bucks, or treat for some food or both. Make it worth their
while for helping you. Are they looking for a pin? Help them find one? Do
they need a website? Be creative. Beer?
If you are not too far from pickup, heck, rent a truck. U Haul has trucks
under 15 ft, enclosed that will work nicely. In a pinch, it worked for me
and i didn't have to bother anyone. Get the insurance though. So many
people on the road glued to their cell phones. I almost got hit head on the
other day. Woman not looking where she was going. She was going uphill,
center of the road and I was going downhil.. If I hadn't slammed down the
horn, no media at York.
