here is my plan
of course, I can alter my route..
I grab X-rider load his and my quads on the hauler
Phucker possibly too
shoot down to pick up Erich's Quad in Chicago
then over to Omaha to grab Preddy's quad
I figure Krandall can meet us at Preddy's (what .. like 6 hours?)
with his mom's van
we throw his on the truck
then someone gets a vehicle to haul the people
2 of us ride in the truck, the rest drive something that gets good mileage
maybe a rental or some shit
below is a map of my route
I can vary the route to accommodate picking up anyone's quad
I should be able to haul 8-12 quads without much problem
we just need to organize this so we are not all driving trucks that get 12-15 mpg EACH!
if we had one big truck getting like 10 MPG and one big van getting 10-15 MPG
split that with 8 or more guys.. that will be mucho cheaper!
for me to "alter my route" to get Preddy's ride is only like 60 miles outta the way
I can do this for anyone, as long as it doesn't add TOO much to the trip
but I would gladly drive a couple hours to have another attendee'
or, if you can make it so your quad is at Eric's house or Preddy's
or anywhere along the way (friend or family)
I will gladly stop and pick it up
as it stands right now, I estimate $600 - $800 in Fuel for the truck (round trip)
if I said screw everyone, and just take a decent Pick up, then it would cost around $400-$600
that is calculating Fuel at 2.50 a gallon and around 1200 miles each way
figuring the big truck at 10 mpg, and the "normal one" at 15mpg
Gunny, what did it cost (in fuel) for you to come to SL?
any Input guys?
