I'm not sure I would call it "slick." When you approach a certain age (60!!), you discover that your back is not as strong as it used to be.
The good news is that my new trailer's manual fill spout is much lower than on my old trailer, so we have not had to use my "lifting stick" so far this year.

Beautiful location. Someday I'd like to try and find that camp spot, or one similar. Although, I think you two are in better shape and more ambitious about your hiking than I, so I might not get to see quite as much scenery as you do.
