Jim,

Yep, it went over on its left side. I was only about a mile outside of
Byers, CO and the safety of a parking lot big enough to turn the beast
into the wind (it'll take over 120mph into he wind), but I had to turn
broadside to the wind to get there. There was no other shelter, the
squall was moving in... not too many options. Fortunately damage was
limited to the upper left corner sheet metal, the left hub dust cap,
the bolt-on fender, and the trailer coupler. Less than 3 minutes after
she went over, t was surrounded by no less than 3 cowboys, 2 farmers, a
trucker, and a cop. Where all of these folks came from, I'll never
know. Highway 36 just isn't that busy. But they were there, thank God.
Four of us lifted the trailer back onto its wheels (it weighs less than
600lbs. i'm guessing). One of the cowboys produced a 3lb. sledge from
his dually, gave the coupler a few good whacks, and restored my rig to
limp-into-town condition. I found a replacement coupler at a 24-hr
walmart in Denver, and was back on the road 4 hours later. Fortunately,
Byers is only about an hour from where I'm living now. When i finally
got the trailer door open, I was amazed to find everything still in its
place! No damage to the glider or show equipment at all!

The trailer is sealed up and tied down for the winter. It'll need
repairs and a good weight-balance check before its roadworthy again. I
was surprised to find its about 500 lbs. lighter than I had estimated.
