Default Roadtrip! Heading East across I80 from SF to Indy, May 17-20

Looks like I got a great roadtrip opportunity coming up. Picking up a bunch of 928 bits, and it just make sense to do a fly and drive.

I am planning to head east either late Thursday (May 17) or mid morning (May 18) and drive till I get to Indy. Its a tick under 2300miles, so probably split it up into 14hour stints. Anyone along the way want to have dinner. I also wouldn't turn down a sofa to crash on. Something about leaving a truck full of stuff in a hotel parking lot always has me nervous, so anyone willing to put a fellow Rennlister up for the evening would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Hans

Hans,
You are more than welcome to stay with me and my family. Shoot me a PM if this will work for you.

We're in Aurora, CO ( a mere 1270 miles from SF)

Hans,
You are welcome to stay with us in the Atlanta area, but it might be a little extension to your route. Stone Mountain is not really worth the detour!

Beer and BBQ is my treat if you want to route through KC on I-70!

Heading east next week! Anyone out there close to either 70 or 80 and willing to let a guy borrow a sofa for an evening and park a truck/trailer?

Thanks
Hans

Jeff - I will see if I can squeeze it in. Trying to be back manning my desk on Monday, so don't have a lot of opportunities to veer off course on this one. Trying to save my days so I can make it out to all the events this year. Looks like I actually may use all my vacation for the first time in a decade.

I am flying in late Wednesday night, and so will be packing up everything on Thursday. I am hopeful to get on the road that afternoon, but may not get out of there till Friday morning.
