Calling IN, IL, MO, AR, W KY, W TN, TX Brethren - BBQ Freight Tag Team needed for Brother Chambers!!!

[Wampus]

Update!!!!

OK....


IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!




Any donations to cover fuel costs should be sent to my PayPal acct.
NOTE: I will INVOICE everyone for their donation to prevent my PayPal acct getting whacked like Dan's was when we were all sending him money that way. They only allow a certain amount in "gifts" or "donations".

SO....please PM me with your email addresses tied to your PayPal accounts and how much you want to donate and I'll shoot you an invoice.



I'm working on an itinerary now and going to work out the details/phone # exchange, etc. now via PM's to them all.

I'll post an itinerary as soon as I have it.



MAN I farkin love this place.

OK so its a GO ?! Road Trip SAT :clap2: :wink: the Chandler OK route is probally best for me meeting Caveman and I can meet up in Dallas or Ft Worth for hookup with CD - I live just South of Ft Worth so I35W is better for me but I can do either. :mrgreen:

 

[speers90]

Great job Wampus and everyone that is making this happen. I don't know chambers at all but I know he deserves this just from reading everything he has been through the past couple of years.

 

[SmittyJonz]

I don't know Chambers either and havn't been on here long enuff to know anything about him but I gotta do something SAt - might as well be BBQ HAUL. Plus it gets me away from the Ole' Lady for a bit. :becky:

I wonder how many bottles of sauces and rubs those pits are going to be stuffed with from the hand overs.

I'm off to the local specialty store tomorrow am!

You know....Dan texted me today and said this:

"I expect all the drivers to toss in some meat and rubs along the way. Gold, silver and jewels are fine too. I DO hope y'all will take some pictures and start a new thread. That'd be cool."

:thumb:

 

[SmittyJonz]

Hey now I like it - putting a bottle of sauce and rub in at each handoff.......I'll put in one or two of each. One set for Beef and One Pork set. :grin:

Wampus there should be a separate thread Sat "BBQ HAUL LIVE" that can get updated at each handoff, maybe with pics.

Edit: We must have been typing at same time there Wampus LOL.

Yes....this was my thought too.
I figured if y'all want to text me photos during the drive, I'll take the laptop with me and can stop and update the thread in as "real time" as possible. Of course you can all put up photos too if you want, but since I'll probably be close to home by the time the NEXT handoff is done after me, I'll have time to jack with it.

It will DEFINITELY be a whole new thread. An EPIC one for sure.

Itinerary JUST about done.


"Who wants to see the world's largest ball of twine?" :heh:

 

[Wampus]

OK....here's the itinerary as close as I can get it.
All mileage and leg times are from Google Maps.


My PLAN is to hit the road at 3 am (CST) to start this thing off. I'm thinking that (conservatively) there will be about 1/2-1 hour down time on each leg for fueling, bathroom breaks and transferring the stuff from one truck to another. I'm also rounding UP to the next 1/2 hr block (again, being conservative). The first leg is a bit off of the direct route, but it has to be so I can get to Dan's big smoker (the Fiery Furnace) to bring it back home with me.

That said, here's how I see it going down:


ALL TIMES ARE CENTRAL STANDARD TIME

Leg #1: Mooresville, IN to Manito, IL - Wampus
224 mi - 3h 38m, depart 3:00 am, arrive 7:00 am

1/2h load transfer

Leg #2: Manito, IL to Springfield, IL - LTG
56 mi - 1h 15m, depart 7:30 am, arrive 9:00 am

1/2h load transfer

Leg #3: Springfield, IL to St. Louis, MO - 93vpmod
97m - 1h 30m, depart 9:30 am, arrive 11:00 am

1/2h load transfer

Leg #4: St. Louis, MO to Lebanon, MO - nthole
163m - 2h 26m, depart 11:30 am, arrive 2:00 pm

1/2h load transfer

Leg #5: Lebanon, MO to Joplin, MO - Outnumbered
125m - 1h 56m, depart 2:00 pm, arrive 4:00 pm

1/2h load transfer

Leg #6: Joplin, MO to Norman, OK - Captain Caveman
234m - 3h 31m, depart 4:00 pm, arrive 7:30 pm

1/2h load transfer

Leg #7: Norman, OK to Burleson, TX - SmittyJonz
198m - 2h 57m, depart 7:30 pm, arrive 10:30 pm

GET SOME FARKIN SLEEP SMITTY!

Leg #8: Burleson, TX to Austin, TX - caseydog
175m - 2h 37m, depart 8 am, arrive 11:00 am

1/2h load transfer

Leg #9: Austin, TX to DAN'S PLACE in San Antonio, TX (78245 zip) - mikemci
94m - 1h 37m, depart 11:30 am, arrive 1:00 pm





If there are any other Brethren who are along this route, and want to help out to lighten the load of other drivers, please let me know ASAP and I can adjust this timeline.



I can't thank you all enough for jumping in on this. I'm amazed at how quickly this came together. This all happened in only 2 farkin days!


THIS PLACE ROCKS!
