Not me bro but you'll be passing through some beautiful country.

katoranger · 04-02-2012, 02:42 PM

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.

katoranger · 04-02-2012, 03:07 PM

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

Sure don't know anyoneon that route....but I'm smack dab in the middle of moving and I know what Doc's talking about. I hope yours is a smooth one and much luck to you.

katoranger · 04-02-2012, 08:58 PM

Buford will make the drive a challenge.

Looks like not many people out that way.

Weldangrind · 04-02-2012, 09:17 PM

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.

katoranger · 04-02-2012, 09:23 PM

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.

Where to?

One of your favorite areas, Doc.... Amador Co. The thriving metropolis of Volcano. We got a place 1.5 miles west of Dafodil Hill on Shake Ridge.

FastDoc · 04-03-2012, 05:08 PM

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.

Weldangrind · 04-05-2012, 10:51 AM

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?
