Spazz & Quidditch need a new "doghouse"

[Trekhawk]

I would like to be SanFran bound by end-o-Feb (grand time of the year to drive corss-country, don't cha think)
oh... speaking of which; anybody know how long (ballpark) it takes to drive from Boston to SanFran in a truck with a dog that doesn't share driving duty?

Spazzdog Im afraid I can be no help with info re San Fran as I dont live there or any advice about driving times as this Aussie has no idea about that. What I can send you are hugs and my wishes for a safe and dog happy trip to your new home.
As Denise said it looks like your set for a new adventure.

Spazz:

Sorry to hear you are leaving us right coasters!!! My little bro is in Nevada and I think it took somewhere around three days driving 12 hours/day to get out there. I can double check with him when he calls on Saturday.

Good luck on your journey...and as Jody said we should all get together before you run!!

Heya Spazz! I'm so sorry about your breakup. That is so tough. You'll be in my thoughts.

I'm not much help real-estate-wise as I don't know anyone who knows the east/north bay/SF market. I hope you find something quickly!

As for driving time, Blaine drove out here from Chicago many moons ago with another person and it took them a couple of days, but they pretty much drove straight through. I'd give yourself at least 5 days, if not a week, but that's just an estimate.

Can't wait to knock back a few with you!!!

well crud! I'm no help either as I'm down in San Diego... but you're gonna LOVE it out here! Glad you're creating a new life for yourself... how great that you have temp residence with Trek420! Very cool...

Sorry to hear about the breakup... it's never easy. I hope the fresh start goes a long way toward making life better tho! Hugs lady! Maybe we'll run into each other someday on a century... I keep heading further north so ya just never know! LOL

Spazz, so sorry. You're probably sick of hearing that but sounds like you're getting on with "stuff." What about school? Are you transferring?

Don't know total transit but Salt Lake City to Sacramento can be done in 10-12 hours with a pooch. Variables include the driver's need for breaks. the vehicle's aerodynamics, the snow/ice and the pooch's curiousity as opposed to urgency.

Could you take a more southern route to avoid the really bad weather? Even Nevada ain't so easy in the winter. Besides, if you take I-40 you could see Amarillo!

If you do decide on I-80, avoid Reno/Tahoe Friday-Sunday.

Hey Spazz if you have the time you should make it a road trip. Plot a route and stop and see all the natural wonders along the way. Could be a once in a lifetime good thing. There are enough TE members on the map who might be willing to put you up for a night or two along the way. You could do the Grand Cayon, Yosemite, and whatever. Another option is to rent an RV. Make sure the company allows you to turn it in out west. We used CruiseAmerica but I'm sure there are others. Then you can park and sleep when you want to and you don't have to worry about what to do with your baby. Just a thought.

Spazz- I am THRILLED to hear this news about your move to California. And to the Bay Area no less! Wonderful cycling awaits you. Be sure to sign up for Cinderella when you get the word as now you'll be here!

RE places to stay- Might find something in my digs- Benicia- that would accommodate a pet or 2. We have bus service to BART as well as a ferry from Vallejo that goes that way as well. I am totally transit during the week so I know how great it can be!

I'll keep an eye out for you- rents here are less than other places in the Bay Area and we have the BEST weather too!!!!!

I think you have my email address- so feel free to email me as well. Also Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill might work for you plus areas around Trek's place.

Get ready to ride with the No Cal contingency of the Team Estrogen!
