This is a great description. Thank you and thanks to all the other good replies given. What's sad/funny is the 2nd time I drove into the garage with the canoe. It was this past New Year's Day and I had been on the 19th annual paddle on the north branch of the Chicago River. Some other people had put the canoe on the Trooper and I didn't notice it was stern forward. So...not only do I have mirror images side to side, I have them front to back. :-( Thanks again.
