We're in central MO, Lake of the Ozarks area. The route from Chattanooga to here forks at Paducah. From there we could go north through St Louis, south through Memphis, or whatever that middle route is. Either Memphis or Paducah is about a 5.5 hour drive for us. If anyone wants to be awesome and help get him closer, that would be great! Attached File |

|
Quoted: I live dead center between Chattanooga and Nashville. I can get him through TN from Chattanooga to KY, and if I need to hold him for a day or two to line up the handoff in KY, I can do that too. When is this happening? @Kcobean as soon as we can get the relays set up at a time people can do it. The sooner the better. We actually have another dog that needs a ride next week, so would love to get Max to his new home before that. |
|
Quoted: I’m happy to shoulder the N Ga to Chattanooga run. Jordan does enough as is. Just let me know if it’s a go and when. I’ve already signed up for transpo Awesome! That will be a huge help! Let's see if we can get the legs in place, then we will work on timing. |
|
Quoted: @F15Mech Could you go part way to Memphis if someone could meet you part way? Quoted: Quoted: I am in Nashville and depending on day I could take him for a leg of the trip. @F15Mech Could you go part way to Memphis if someone could meet you part way? That will work also could head up towards/past Padauch KY if that turns out to be a better route for @motoguy |
|
Quoted: @Kitties-with-Sigs That will work also could head up towards/past Padauch KY if that turns out to be a better route for @motoguy Paducah is a haul from Nashville. Can you do that far? ETA: I'm in the Bowling Green area, but our long-distance cars are both in the shop and all I have is my work truck, which is not suitable. Bad timing on the repairs. It takes me 2.5-3 hours to Paducah from here. Minimum. And I am not slow. |

I know it's in a little bitty town in Missouri, across the river from Dyersburg, TN. I think it would be a straighter shot through Dyersburg than Paducah, cuz you don't have to go south again. Thoughts? |
|
Quoted: I am in sikeston mo. I will help with the drive if someone Give me a route and time I am retired so I am flexible @Betio Where is Sikeston closest to? That's not far from Paducah, is it? Could you pick up in Paducah and maybe meet @motoguy half way to Lake of Ozarks? (not sure how far he can go, and I think he is probably working tonight so we may not hear until morning.) (Sorry. I just realized I asked about the dyersburg bridge. I'm going back and forth through the thread, considering options.) |

Quoted: Not sure yet. He may end up going through Ky to Paducah. If so, out of your way. But when I bumped you, we were still thinking Memphis. Quoted: Quoted: @Kitties-with-Sigs I’m still here. Do we know what day? Depending on work I should be able to help. Not sure yet. He may end up going through Ky to Paducah. If so, out of your way. But when I bumped you, we were still thinking Memphis. Let me know. Most weekends are clear but have something planned this Saturday. I should be able to use a sick day next week if needed. |

BRAINSTORMING: So we could theoretically do the following: Spuddicus picks up from Jordan, brings to Chattanooga Deltaelite777 Can do Chattanooga to Manchester to meet Kcobean (who could hold dog overnight or longer if necessary for scheduling) OR could go all way to Nashville F15Mech can go Nashville to Paducah, KY Betio is not far from Paducah--in Sikeston, MO, and could take Max on into Missouri So we need the following: 1-How far can Betio go, and how far can Motoguy go to meet. Do we need a ride in between? 2-Y'all each tell me when you can roll and when you cannot. We will build the schedule that way once we have the route set. @Spuddicus @Deltaelite777 @F15mech @Betio @Motoguy |

Quoted: I can do that leg no problem, we have a date yet? Okay let's see how sunday looks. Nothing in stone until we have the final leg covered. I need to hear from Betio and Motoguy. Dog can't roll until the route is covered. |
