Do you know about a website called gasbuddy.com? If not, check it out; I just did and it looks like once you get out of CA, the price of gas will decrease. Looks like Kansas/Oklahoma has the cheapest gas...possibly as much as $2/gal cheaper than CA. Interstate 40 will take you right through there. I've used this website a lot to find where the cheapest gas is en route on trips...it's updated at least daily.Originally Posted by N40GL

We're thinking of shipping out and driving back. Shipping one way through Intercity Lines is about $2K. I need to find someone to "receive" it when it arrives, and do a walkaround to make sure a cement mixer didn't hit the trailer during shipment. Then we can drive back and see Route 66, for example. I want my wife to meet Kenny and Cari Brown, and Steve and Carol Babcock, so "see the sights" is pertinent.

That sounds like a great plan, Mark. BTW I'll be at Shell Beach starting June 8 and would love to see you and Michele out there as well!

Guys, I've been wrestling with this decision now for a couple of weeks, and I'm afraid I'm going to bow out this year. The costs to get there (which have probably risen 10% since I started typing this) are just making it astronomical. Airfare is costly and rising, and vehicle shipping companies aren't committing to a firm price because of fuel costs. That, plus the difficulty of getting time off from work at a critical point in our fiscal year (I work for a Bank, and in June we are right in the middle of annual state and federal audits) just make this too difficult to pull together. I miss all you folks in the Marauder community and would dearly love to see you, whether Carlisle or elsewhere. But it isn't in the cards for 2022. I hope I can make it all work in the very near future. Sorry about that.

Checking on what is needed - tent, for sure. Tables? If so, how many? I need to send the form in. We pay for the tent if we don’t get 25 to register.

Hi Bunny. Don't have any idea how many folks are registered for the showfield. We're not on Facebook so not in that loop. Paula can check how many people booked rooms at The Central. I imagine 2-3 tables would be useful. Our room hotel room block cut-off date is coming up fast on April 21. Any chance you might come down? Would be great to see you.
Enjoying the ride......
Tent is great!!!! I am old and can't sit in sun -- thank you for the tent!!!!
