Cross Country Feeler

Come end of October I am going to be running X-country on a working vacation. If you would like to meet up or would like anything dropped off along the way let me know. I will be treking out in my Forester loaded with tools and parts and I have absolutely no idea when I will be back. All depends on how long it takes, I would imagine some time mid-late November... Route is still up in the air as I wait for someone to confirm but this is the list of stops so far...

Departure: Oct 24th
1. Wiley Ford WV- svxfile's place for the Pumpkin Carver Auto-X mini meet
2. Detroit, MI- Wawazatt??'s place to finish up some projects he has going
3. Iowa- Nevin's to drop off a differential
4. Littleton, CO- Shelfy's 5mt conversion
5. Boise Idaho- Chris's place for a break from a long ride and to finally meet him
6. Burlington, WA- Ensteele's place for a couple things
7. Newark, CA for Hydra training & Vacation
8. Grand Canyon- Because I have never been (may stop at Mt. Rushmore if I have time and the will)
9. Dunkirk MD- SVXRide's place for some warranty work
10. Back in NJ if all goes according to plan.

Route: Google Maps

If you would like me to swing by your area please let me know in advance. I will have my mobile internet with me so I can keep in touch the whole way.

Tom

Michigan's not too far. If you go to the west coast towards Washington I might consider that.

Re: Cross Country Feeler

Hey Tom - Are you looking for clients right now or just people to ride along or caravan with you? So far all the replies seem to be those.

I'd be interested in having a ton of stuff done to mine if you came as far as WA, and I could supply free room and board, but not for a whole merry band of tag alongs.

Won't have money for quite a while though, and in the meantime I'm trying to get done what I can myself. Would love to have you do a 5/6 speed swap in mine though.

I've also considered contacting you when the time was right ($$$$) about the possibility of flying you out here and at the same time lining up a bunch of the local group that needs things done and have everyone split up the airfare costs, find a central place for you to work/stay, and line up the jobs in a week or however long the to-do lists and your schedule dictates.

A cross country trip would be fun though, financed through doing SVX repairs/mods in every town.

Well, thats the idea... I really wouldn't expect tag-alongs as most people have their daily grind they might not be able to forfeit for a month or so. More or less this has been something I have been wanting to do and I am just throwing it out there for ideas
