trailer backing 101 for dummies

As you know from Thursday's post about my incident with the utility pole, I have completed a project that I've been wanting to do for some time and now just seemed like the right time.  I have always placed our driveway on the drivers side of our truck so I can watch the wheels on that side of the trailer as they turn into our drive.  The problem has been that I didn't have any reference marks for progress until most of the trailer was already in the driveway.  Thursday afternoon I did some surveying, measuring, marking, and painting of a line to follow.  Here is the result and now I just have to follow the yellow (brown) brick road.
