Yeah, that's why you sell it for $one dollar.

IDK if you guys are all following the other thread but the owner of the old truck said he's gotta catch a bus and go home on Wednesday if it's not driveable by then.

Rhyno might be a downer debby, but he's completely right. Sometimes you need to abort the mission.

He's about 300 miles from home, AFAICT. That's about $100 for gas and a couple piss bottles en-route. Is anyone going to step up to do a PP setup if we end up doing that? Wallyworld is 1/2 hour from me on a good day, and it was sleeting yesterday, so it's going to be fun(tm) to deal with if I have to do it- I also lack the requisite $100.

If we end up doing a W2W it'll be quite a bit cheaper, but we need to know where we're sending it, still.
You don't get PM's but if it's safe for you to travel, and you do feel like going to meet him, I'll cover the $100 he needs to get home and throw you some gas money. Only if he uses it to go home though. Just looking at it realistically as Rhyno did, that's the only current viable option for him in this plan of action. Sorry to be a party pooper.

He has picked up the latest cash flow in billings, just received the following:


I replied that there were quite a few donations from people who wanted to see him safely through.
I just checked and the nearest Greyhound station to Valentine NE is 186 miles away.

Rhyno posted:

Someone highlight his path on a map so we can get some perspective.
Here is what he has traveled so far: Google Maps

Here is what he has left: Google Maps

Locations approximate, I believe from trying to follow this thread that those are the routes he has taken thus far.

14" if you need food just email me a grocery list (I don't know what you have available as far as cooking equipment) and an address and I will send you stuff. Don't want you to starve out there.
