I've got an open trailer that might do in a pinch, but can probably get an enclosed one (may cause scheduling constraint). This would force us to load it when we get there (obviously.) If someone can secure a uhaul on that end and have it loaded, it makes things easier, but should by no means be a requirement to make this happen.

Can we get some folks to pitch in for gas?

In the event you get some giving souls from WV to come half way, we can meet in Dayton, OH. This would make the U-haul option a requirement to ease transfer, etc.

Keith, I'll PM you my phone number so you can contact me as necessary to make arrangements.
If you'd like a driving buddy, let me know. I will be there....however, I'm mainly constrained to weekends at the moment.

Things are a little tight right now, can't really picth in for gas but I'd be happy to ride along and relieve some of the driving duties as long as the timeframe is indeed over a weekend. Or anything else that I can do.

I'd be happy to be buy your diving gear as a way to pitch in as long as its in good shape. It may sound sh!tty, but I just donated a large sum of money to a non-profit music organization so money is a little tight.

I have an enclosed trailer, I don't know if that will help at all, but it is open for anyone, I am at a kind of half-way point. If we can get someone to meet up near me we can do the switch over here.

I will certainly pitch in for gas $. The least I can do for the freight company mess up.

You may want to post in the Mid-A and Ohio sections. WVA is not far from both.

What is the best way to get gas $ money to you, Keith?

Who is collecting all this gas money, and how?

Just wondering, because things like this usually get pretty huge in a community like S2KI.
