Also............I want to thank EVERYONE here who responded or called me to offer help.  

I had a few "plan B" options if I was not able to fix the trailer.  Fortunately, we got it fixed, and made it home in one piece.

I guess I now have another few items to add to my pre departure checklist......

Funny thing........I DID check the hubs, and greased the bearings.  I also tried to shake the axle, WHILE the trailer was jacked up.  Everything felt good, but from the looks of the leafs we took off, they were DEFINITELY in bad shape.  

Again, thanks to everyone who helped out.

Later,

Geo
