Looking for places to stop since I will driving a 15 year old car pushing 200K with a trailer load of stuff that I wish to not be stolen. Also Buford the Cat will need a break at some point.
Breaking the news to the group now. Looks like I am awaiting the official job offer on a transfer to Kansas. The family cat, myself, and the tractors will likely make the move first. Probably be May 6-7. Will be making the same trip driving two more cars a few weeks later. Won't have the trailer though. Things will be more secured. If anyone is close to this route and wouldn't mind me and a loafing cat to stop for alittle while.

I'm afraid I don't even know anyone along your route.
I'm only moving 5 miles and I get panic attacks thinking about it.

I have people in Alabama. It is not that far along though. Don't know anyone past there really.

Buford will make the drive a challenge.
Looks like not many people out that way.

Maybe someone on the route will chime in. All Buford will need is a comfy cat bed on the back seat and a litter box; we used the type with a hood over it. After a while, he'll get tired of freaking out, and he'll curl up and relax. I recommend earplugs.

I am thinking that it may be better to just drive and get it over with too. I can stop and take breaks and just keep going until we get there.
My old car will probably need some breaks after a few hills also.

I'm very familiar.
My ex's ex (sounds strange but makes sense) lived on on Daffodil Hill. I forgot the name of the street but I think it's the same. Nice enough guy. Jacka$$ should have warned me not to marry his ex but whatever... :evil: Beautiful area, Volcano, especially if you like Kirkwood. Great ride to Sonora through Angel's Camp etc. 8) I SERIOUSLY considered moving home rather than staying in Washington, but I'm broke and can't afford the temporary but large drop in income associated with starting a new practice. Also, WHEN I go back to California, its going to be San Luis Obisbo.

Please keep us updated as the trip approaches, Allen. Also, please send me some stainless steel mesh before you move!

I am now taking the much newer minivan. It will still be loaded with stuff and a trailer.
FYI. I am moving to Kansas.

Congratulations! It sounds like a done deal. Good luck on the trip; do you plan to just crash in the van if you need a break?
