I'm driving to California

[muffinman]

Well in about 12 days I am going to be driving a truck to my home town in Santa Paula California.

My Aunt has requested of me to drive her back home with all of her stuff from Hope Mills NC she is going back to take care of my Grandmother who is 83. I will be taking the southern route I20 to I10 so if you see a guy looking like he needs a ride driving a big yellow truck that would be me.My cell is 9196735095 if you are on the way maybe we can get together give me a call.Sorry I cant take any detours as money is tight for her but if you are on the way and get in touch with me soon enough we might be able to get together for a soda or lunch.

I will post on this thread when exactly I will be leaving I plan on doing the drive in 3 to 4 days as long as my Aunt can stand being on the road that long each day.

If you find yourself in need of a real cheap (as in free) place to lay your head near Atlanta, you are always welcome here.

You know that thing is just waiting to fall in the Ocean don't you???

[mmoffitt]

It's always nice to take a trip OUT of the country once in while!

 

[Guest HdHtr]

Safe trip out Jeff. Hope it goes smoothly. You flying back or ?

[Kregerdoodle]

While coming through Houston, give a shout out to the Houston Gang!!

If your driving a uhaul truck I'd be tempted to rent a trailer for your bike and ride your bike back thru the southern states... that is...

If ... this had been two weeks ago or three months from now... It would be a long, cold ride currently...

Could she wait a couple months?

I'm with Kreg on this one, if you need a place to stay around Houston the door is open and we have plenty of room. Have a safe trip Bud, California....that explains a lot about you now

Yeah... We have some beach front property up by Valley Springs in the Sierra Foothills... Just waiting for the big shake...

if it was around the 18th we could convoy with our u-haul going to paso robles,CA via I-20 to I-10 ,moving my dauther back out there where he's stationed

Meant to update this earlier, but... Anyway they left Sat afternoon (11th) got to Alabama the first day and stopped for a quick nap in the truck. They ran into that nasty stormy weather. Then sunday they stopped for a hotel room in Abilene yes TX. Talked to him this morning they were filling up and moving along. They think they might actually make CA today, I think that might be a bit of wishful thinking. But then I didn't think they would have gotten this far. Jeff's brother in law flew out from CA to drive his aunt's truck. Evidently nobody has a tow dolly or a trailer for her truck. Seems it's too heavy. GPS said 21 hrs of driving from where they are. Anyway just thought I'd let you all know where he was. Of course he's headed towards nice temps while we all freeze out this way.

Thanks for the update Mini

[Yammer Dan]

He gets out there where it is warm how you going to get him back Mini???:rotfl:

[mini-muffin]

He called a little while ago they were passing through or passed through Sonoma TX. It's 80 in Phoenix today, I'm not sure he'll want to come back from the warmer west coast. Still got snow flurries here, but it's not sticking. Actually looks nice that way.

The snow flurries stopped and the sun came out.

Well he's in New Mexico, not exactly sure where, but it's 147 miles till he's in Arizona. They are on I10 took I20 from SC to somewhere in TX when they switched to I10. Anyway he's evidently nice and warm.

I10 and I20 connect up somewhere just west of San Angelo, Tx (Bobbie's home area)

[mini-muffin]

They left this morning from about 30 or 40 miles south of Phoenix, should be in Ventura by this evening. I think it's about 9 hrs to Ventura from Phoenix. Now to see if he'll come home after being out there in warmer weather then we have. Gonna be about 14 tonight I think and that's not the wind chill. BRrrrrrrr

Surf City here we come !!!

[mini-muffin]

Well he's in California about 2 1/2 hrs from Ventura as of his last call. Then I get to find out when he'll be heading back.

 

Margaret

[mini-muffin]

Well he's there. He gets to hang out with his grandmother now. He hasn't been out there in about 10 yrs.

Glad he made it out there safe Mini, like you say, the battle for when he leaves is starting!

[RoadKill]

Anywhere near Springfield, IL and need anything, like a free lunch, just call

[mini-muffin]

He's flying back, just gotta pick the right way to go. No stops in places like Chicago for example. He may never get out of that town with the weather we've been having.
