Sean 
I will have the tower trailer ready to go by Friday evening so you can pick it up on Saturday morning. I will follow you up and help on the set up at the site. 
I will also be there for take down and help you bring it back  on Sunday to my house for storage.

Mike: 

I will try to get there early Saturday, and pickup later Sunday 
afternoon/evening. 

And with any luck I will have some time perhaps to make a couple contacts.
