We tried everything to drag the pumpkin to the front driveway, but it wouldn't budge even an inch, so I managed to drive an old Buick LeSabre (with, honest to goodness, an inch of clearance on each side) between my house and the fence, into the backyard, where I tied the pallet to the frame and slowly backed it out. Took a while, with much wheel spin, but I was finally able to pull the pumpkin onto the cement! I think a tripod structure and lifting ring are absolute musts for next year, because this was just stupidly complicated. Anyway, with the help of several neighbors and my Dad, we lifted the pallet into the truck and strapped 'er down.
