Nothing says it’s summer in the U.S. like a long, Fourth of July weekend at the lake. Unfortunately, many of our fellow Americans are somewhat careless when it comes to loading up gear for the trip.

Fox 9 even did a special on the matter of unsecured loads, including the story of car passenger killed by cement block that had fallen from a flatbed trailer.
Getting back to getting to the lake, there’s this:
