    Parking plane on wet ground

    Recieved a message from the RV campground to bring boards for the wheels due to the amount of rain they have received. We rent a RV so the renter takes care f that but as I have helped people tow, push and whatever to get their aircraft out of the depressions their aircraft have made after a week. IF, it is fairly soft, does anyone have ideas of a viable system of "plates" that one could tug the airplane on to so as to avoid the guy that try's to power out.

    I will help anyone but am getting old and don't want to damage my airplane or anyone else's.

    I carry 3 pieces of 12"X12"X1/4" plywood that I roll the plane onto as soon as I get parked. It has made a huge difference in pulling it out later.

    During Sloshkosh some enterprising teens were selling 3 x 1 foot squares of plywood for $20. They could have made a fortune if they kept at it but apparently quit once they got their gas/beer/date money. I'm bringing my own just in case.

    I use three stiff plastic 5 gallon bucket lids.
