Boys,
Having finally sent in my registration fee, and noticing the response for carpools from Death March X, I'm interested in seeing if anyone along the route from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry on down to Westville vic Lumpkin GA (31815) is interested in catching a ride and sharing expenses. Since the vehicle has to carry some oddball equipment for this event, if we have two people in the cab, we'll take Old Whitey The Wundertruck (in its extended service life version), and if three people are in the truck, then it is Big Whitey, which at least has air conditioning and shocks that still work well. Trust me when I say you will not want what I'm carrying (especially the return trip) in your daily driver, so one of the trucks are it.
The distance is approximately 790 miles one way, and the intended route is: US 340-I-81 to I-77 to I-85 and points southward. Look on a map or use Mapquest to see if you want to risk life and limb to ride with me.
At the present time, my schedule includes a Thursday morning departure with the intention of covering the distance in approximately 14 hours of driving, as Friday will be needed for set-up, and a much needed nap. Unless plans change, the return trip begins early Sunday morning after clean-up, and is another one of those highly caffeinated rushes to get home.
For those who have not looked at the website:
To peek back at some ancient history, for years and years the 1st Ga. Regulars and Georgia State Line folks wanted to get into this location and enjoy an event. Well, this is a danged exciting opportunity to do just that, and have an event of this genre well ahead of the 1861 rush that you know will be coming down the pike in 2011.
