I'm trailering a car from Petaluma, CA to the Portland area and have space for other stuff in the open 8-foot pickup bed and the back seat area of the extra cab. It's likely to be raining but if you have stuff I can help deliver - going either direction - let me know.
- I can make stops along the way for pick up/delivery but can't get too far off Interstate 5
- You have to get the stuff to me in Petaluma
- I'll have an empty open trailer on the way back so if, by any odd chance you need a car moved from north of Petaluma to Petaluma, let me know.
Timing for this trip is still TBD but it's likely to happen in a couple days. Sorry for the late notice but it's all just coming together and I'm doing what I can to try and help.
PM me if this is of interest. Thanks -
Chris

I bought a 914 shell from a person in the north bay and Chris trailered the shell to my doorstep and then helped me push the shell up a hill to my garage. Made me rethink the value of the 914World experience and also the definition of a friend.

Don't need any transport. I'd be happy to buy you a meal & talk 914's. All depends when your coming through. Just about to Board a plane to Phoenix. I'm back Monday & live just off I5 in Albany. South of Portland an hour. So just depends when your coming through. Also have a spare room if you need a place to crash - Jamie

@JRust Thanks Jamie - I haven't landed on the travel days and specific itinerary but if I can stop in your area, I'll let you know. Be fun to catch up.

Keep an eye on the pass conditions thru the Siskyous on I-5. Trailering could be exciting. Carry a set of chains. Even if you don’t plan on chaining up. Safe journeys.

@rhodyguy - Yep, I've been thinking about that - especially since my truck is 2WD. I'll be timing the trip to avoid any snow.

Keep and eye on tripcheck.com for oregon road conditions. Lastest news it's suppose to be very messy.

It's looking like the road conditions at Ashland from Sat - Monday will be OK.
I should arrive late Sat afternoon.

If I was not up to my neck in alligators around here I would have loved to ride shotgun if you did not have someone already. Have a safe trip Chris. Michael

And that's a wrap! Matt's car was safely delivered yesterday at 5:00 PM. A quick sleep, another day of

and I'm safely back At The Red Barn. It always amazes me how "sitting and doing nothing" for 2 days can leave me so tired!

Bend weather was NOT conducive to a flying visit with 2WD truck & tow rig. Will catch up some time soon.

@Retroracer Tony - Yep, another time, Hopefully soon!
CA weather was lovely, Lake Shasta looking nearly full.
But just another 50 miles farther north...

Lake Shasta is full? Been driving past that lake for 30 years, and havent seen it full since the 80's.
