Late yesterday afternoon a friend called me to go on a night fishing trip, so about 6:15 he arrives from his 20 minute trip from home.
I grab my tackle, rods and rain gear and off we go out the back way which is gravel and narrow traveling about 10 MPH startup the second incline and BAM the receiver hitch comes out of truck, winch stand had smashed into the bumper, safety chains caught the trailer. The receiver pin was nowhere to be found, he had another hitch complete with a pin in his tool box. We used a scissor jack to raise the trailer tongue up high enough to get the dolly down, got back on the road again, just glad if it had to happen it happened where it did and not on the big road running 60 mph. How the keeper came off the hitch pin remains a mystery.
