Rob,

If it's 0° here and 5° in NH when you arrive, maybe I should take the short 10.5 hour drive "South East" to warm up.

I'll see you around 5.

If you guys' take 95 south you will be driving about 20 miles west of me through Prvidence RI . If you came down 95 or rt 93 to rt 24 you would drive right by my house in Fall River Ma. I'll be here if you need me or if you want some good Portugese food.
I didn't get to meet up with Rob at Cars and Coffe when I was in Cali for my daughters wedding.

Serious though, extra pillows and a hot water bottle should be in your load out. I'm praying your ass goes numb by Chicago.

HUGE Chevy Chase fan here.

I coulda swore the seller said this has heated seats. I better double check.

You seem to be improving your BBQ Fu.

I'm just east of Memphis, very close to I-40. Beale Street has already been mentioned along with Graceland for touristy stuff. There are plenty of good BBQ joints around town along with Italian, Korean, Ethiopian, you name it.

I have welders, compressor and tools. A large shop you could drive into with a lift. A local good friend that is a dyed-in-the-wool Ford fanatic with probably a spare everything for that truck.

Safe travels and look me up if I can help!


Jeff-

Thanks Jeff! I spent a weekend in college in Memphis and am looking forward to stopping there again. Appreciate the offer.

So that sounds like an upgrade there for ya. See ya there!

I'll echo everyone about avoiding I-95 at all costs, DC has the worst traffic I've ever seen. I would take I-81 and drop down to I-40. You guys are welcome to stop by Jet Hot and check out the toy box, we are right on I-40/85 just east of the I-85 split to Charlotte. Oh you can bring Payton along too, he keeps threatening to come by here but I have yet to see the whites of his eyes. We have a few Ferds for Rob but some are Chevy powered If you have interest in stopping by pm me.

You can see some of the toy box in the background of this pic

If your around Hartford Plan B has good burgers and is pretty quick for a sit down (lunch) dinners / fridays get busy

If your traveling down in New Haven via 91 (you can still pick up 87 around NYC before it gets bad) Pepe's Pizza is a awesome place. Its in the top 10 in US all the time.

Word of advice don't fill up in CT our gas tax is out of control. Try to fill up in MA even if you don't really need it.

How big is the gas tank on that rig anyway? If it's less than 35 gallons you can plan on stopping for fuel every couple of hours to rest your butts and stretch your legs.

Wonder if Google calculated that in when the 49 hours was estimated for travel time?
