I am about 4 mins from the I-80 outside of Sacramento, would you be willing to get me 2 slat skins and 2 slat doublers? Would save a ton of shipping. Can you email me? Christopher.braun@gmail........com I can place the order today to be ready when you are there.

I'm branching away from I-80 to I-84 at Salt Lake, Christopher.  From there on, I'll be going up through Idaho and into eastern Oregon.

I'd be happy to bring whatever you want along for the ride but don't plan on deviating my course.  A nasty cold front is headed from the north and packing snow with it.  I'll be on the express route home once I leave Mexico.

I wish I had seen this sooner. Probably too late now. My wing, tail and fuel kits are scheduled for shipping on the 20th. I live about 40 mile north of Seattle, so if you could bring the crate back to your house you'd save me a ton of cash. Of course they may not even have it ready by the time you leave, anyway. Sigh.

Check with the factory and let me know, Gordon.  They may have at least part of your order and I can certainly bring that with me as far as Walla Walla.

Sorry I didn't notify everyone sooner.  I wasn't sure what kind of truck I'd end up with and when it turned out to be a 24-footer, I figured I'd go ahead and ask.

I already called the factory (Linda has my number) and the crate with the kits will be ready if you are willing and able to haul it. Call me after you arrive at Zenith and we can discuss the details.  Oh, my build will be a 650B.  :-)

Gordon,

Call me at 541-805-eight-five-one-three later today and we'll arrange a meeting place/time to drop your load.  FYI - I'm not driving a lift gate but there is a ramp.

Last chance, folks.  Build class begins today but depending on weather, I may head for Oregon early.  Please make arrangements with the factory if you want me to haul your stuff to anywhere along my route.  I'll be on I-80 and then I-84 (see Google interstate map) into Eastern Oregon and returning the truck to Walla Walla. I'll plan on heading out Friday afternoon and should hit Oregon by Saturday evening (if all goes well).  I'm returning the truck Monday evening in Walla Wall.

For those wishing me to carry their load, know that I am not an insured carrier!  This is just a guy going to get his plane and willing to haul someone else's stuff.  However, I am cheap - as in free!  I'll ask that anyone wanting their stuff hauled email or fax a signed letter indicating that I am not to be held responsible in the event of an accident, highway robbery, tornado, etc, etc.  Again, coordinate with the factory today at the very latest.

If you need any help, moral support or just another pair of eyes with your build, I'm not far away.
