Chap,

That winding road IS our driveway, and the first backing job Phil ever did with the TM. It wasn't pretty.

At the very top, it drops off steeply, as does the driver's view of everything behind the car, even when not towing. So the advice to have the spotter stay in the driver's view, shut up and point did not work out very well for us. And it was unsatisfying for the spotter.

We've moved up to walkie-talkies, but it still makes for a very grim hour (hour and a half?) getting the TM to the bottom while keeping it off the rocks and out of the bushes.
