Hey Erik ~ We're facing a similar problem of "last mile logistics." We're building a lot of yurts for people and need to put them safely into their hands, probably in Empire, for them to take in to the Burn. One thought was to provide one or more trailers, which would reduce problems such as yours to, "Find someone who could rent a UHaul hitch (or had a vehicle with a hitch) and pull a trailer for the last few miles." We're looking at lightweight aluminum trailers. Yurts are very light, so almost any vehicle could tow that package.
