Garry, I had also expressed interest in joining a shipment from the Eastern USA. My car is in Birmingham, Alabama and in order to join a shipment from the Virginia/Carolina area I would prefer to join along the way, maybe Nashville if a southern route is taken.
Alternatively I would need to drive to the starting point (wherever it might be). I haven't heard if anyone has started contact with a shipper. I went on line today and asked Intercity Lines for a quote from Birmingham to San Diego. Hauser recommended Intercity. If anyone in Virginia/North Carolina/South Carolina/Georgia/Florida is working on this please join in this thread. Exact timing and exact shipping destination will need to be sorted out. My plan is to return from Italy early September to participate in this Early October event. No flights booked yet but I have my event tickets.
I am thinking in terms of a return shipment to Alabama around mid-October, but I am flexible.
Looking forward to hearing from others.
