Earlier this summer, I helped an octogenarian wife put her octogenarian husband's trailer on her hitch to go retrieve him from a land out. It was interesting to see that 'the old ways' were not entirely made-up tales.

If XC soaring lasts long enough, we will someday be able to summon our self-driving cars and trailers to a landout.
