Well the plan at the moment is to ship the two ferrets across in a
container each that are doubling as ameneties and workshops units.
Mating them up with dolly sets when we get there. The question of what
we were going to tow them with has not quite arisen yet but I am hoping
to find a couple of 5-ton owners in each state that may be willing to
tow them across their state. Failing that we will have to get some
ourselves.
We are not going to do the trip as fast as we can but will spread it
across nearly two weeks. The Ferrets will not be returning and will
either be sold off or donated to a museum...
