    If you're coming down the Mass Pike I can probably meet you at a rest stop, I'm not sure if there is one in Blandford on eastbound side, there is 1 in Ludlow for sure. Unemployed so just need approx date and time.

    Sweet!

    So behind the scenes, I've asked all the guys for their routes, swap location ideas, and rough time estimates on when they will arrive at the swap locale.

    What we want is exactly what you guys are talking about. To get as many people to come and sign the thing, spit on it, throw an OJ cup in the back, whatever. Hopefully we can get a bunch of people involved.

    Dave and Ryan, it looks like the Steam Train here is up and running again, if you want to check it out.

    I'm about 1-1/2 hrs south of KC. I'd love to run up there, say hi to the dudes, join 'em for an OJ, sign the car and run back home. The wife would think I'm crazy. She just doesn't understand!

    Here is a Mall outside of Columbus,



    There is a Travel America just East of Erie


    Figure both had plenty of room to get the trailer moved around. I have a trailer lined up for my leg.

    We're each providing out own trailer for each section so that should take care of itself.

    I'm pretty sure the plan is to just switch it from trailer to trailer.

    Neal, the wife and I will probably hook up with you on your way by to Erie and follow you out there. Then we'll proceed to punish our livers with Brian! Bad liver, very bad!!! ;D Oh and let me know where the handoff is going to be so I can get a hotel close by.

    Malc brings up an excellent point. Is the car being transferred from trailer to trailer, or does it stay on one trailer, and switch tow vehicles? Better make sure you guys are compatible as far as ball size, wiring connections, and trailer brakes. I don't think surge brakes are even legal anymore, and while you may not have trouble locally, you may have trouble on the Interstate. Drive safely, guys. Wish I could be there.

    Not that I wouldn't but that's a hike.

    Thanks for the momentary heart complications.
