Pumpkin Transport

The weigh off date is tentatively Oct 3rd, 1 month from now.  Between now and then, I have to figure out a way to transport it, safely, to Mark's house.  After a visit to harbor freight for a basic moving dolly, and some elastic netting, I used other 'found' materials around the house...
Step 1- dolly and cargo net

Step 2 - reinforce the top of the bed

Steps 3-4, reinforce the bottom of the bed, and add handles to lift it into the Jeep.

Step 5 - added padding (thermarest) to keep from too much jarring, and tested cargo net in order to keep the pumpkin in place... but since the pumpkin is about the size of 5-6 basketballs, will need one more cargo net and will tie them together.
